    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for... -- Joe, we are looking to make the Lake Cumberland Poker Run. Really wanted to do LOTO shootout this year. Maybe do a little side by side run against a certain C-powered Skater.. But that's just 4 weeks away. So Cumberland is next big boating event.

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Actually my machinist has gotten into forging knives lately. Has a nice little oven if we wanta do it slowly. He's just never done anything that important before.. Most of the videos I've watched on heat treating shafts, they just heated it up cherry red with a rosebud, then tossed it in a pan...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Piece of 4130 is best I could come up with on short notice. No real idea on hardness. Since I don't expect it to take any hard hits on the dyno, goal is just harden those splines.

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    No, waiting for spot on the dyno. Sled pulling and boating season seem to conflict. However, as of today the boat is just coming outa paint. So now the owner is anxious to get things finished in time to attend a major poker run next month.

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Anyone have first hand experience hardening 4130 Normalized? Had the splines cut, then double keyed this output shaft of the dyno adapter assembly. Think it should be hardened before this piece gets pressed into the 4150 driveshaft hub. Youtube has a few examples, but I prefer comments...

    Coolant arrived today. Sure hope it's worth the price. $50 a gallon, and no 50/50 mixing this stuff...

    Wrapping up the Borg Warner marine transmission pattern to dyno driveshaft adapter on engine # 2 this week. Bearing hub assembly is done. Just waiting for our 4130 shaft with EDM splines being cut by a shop in Michigan. Then that piece gets keyed, pressed, and welded into a 1" thick 10" dia...

    I was over in Danville area last week on way home from Cali, but the pilot wouldn't stop so I could say hello... Did you see me waving Mark? :welcome:

    L5P L5P Tuning

    Stand alone setups only. I didn't know they had ditched Piezo injectors on L5P. So that changes things, for what I do at least. However,,, the basic HS-GMLAN CANbus network data structure hasn't changed from I can tell. I'd have to do some captures off a new truck, but I'm gonna say a BCM...

    L5P L5P Tuning

    Can confirm that 480hp combo. Saw an 18 on the chassis dyno while at Banks last week. Exactly where it was with it. Also saw a slightly modified E35 ECU controlling L5P's. Stand Alone Issue Solved... :poke:

    Ball bearing turbos?

    Ran a 4094R for a few years with +50 sticks and stock pump. Spools quick, but as mentioned, it's a bit tight on AR and runs hotter than a stock VNT. In my application it was holding things back at 3600r and 700hp. I'd rate it at arround 600hp max. Shaft end play is substantially greater on...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    OEM specs, with better steel. Few OEM cranks break first year, so guessing only time or mileage will tell that tale.

    L5P L5P Tuning

    50 volt is just a general range that covers us up to LML. The early FICM was basically a "driver" for powering the Bosch injectors, with control from an ECM without amplified circuits. Kinda a quick and dirty solution, that worked well but has it's down sides. Starting with LBZ, the injector...

    L5P L5P Tuning

    The person who brought up the compiler issue, stated so when I made same case for starting from scratch on a new OS and existing hardware. Basically saying those are not a single use processor, so compiler config needs to perfectly match the boards other hardware, drivers, ect. Which equals a...

    L5P L5P Tuning

    Finding the nerds isn't the problem. I've spoken in depth with a couple of em, who are behind much of what we use today, about this same approach. Without the original source code, and access to specific compiler GM used, writing a new OS for current hardware isn't feasible. Just to many man...

    L5P L5P Tuning

    Exactly.. Liability simply outweighs any profits by about 10,000 to 1... Sure we could make GM stability control talk happily with an aftermarket ECU. Be cool addition for drag racers. But would I bet my a$$, or someones kids on it working exactly as GM designed, no freaking way. What is it...

    Agree 100%. I actually have been talking to some German programing guru's with a background at big B, about doing exactly that. Motec has a unit out now that can take place of stock 01-16 PCM. Couple stand alone builds testing it. And I'll bet we could make it communicate happily with other GM...

    Anyone have any experience with VOIP phone service?

    Those are typically hardware configuration issues, and should been sorted out by the company providing service. All your cell phone traffic today is basically VoIP, but few complain about quality. Cause the big telco's control the network traffic end to end. Beside the cool PBX options and...
