    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Dave is a great guy that does his own rigging work. His other boat is also home built, a turbine powered cat. So he has skills. He's also dedicated to making this Duramax setup work. I'm planning to be over your way later in the week. Ya be around the shop?

    Dave; I'd say that's a good way to put it.. :hug: Ya know how things goes with those million dollar "sponsored" projects. Long as that ain't my million, won't take sides. Also reason I don't get all upset seeing these failures in my friends build. To many fingers been in there to armchair QB...

    I haven't seen any updates on that boat in a while either. They started out with very low gearing like 2:1, and have limited prop dia due to their shaft setup. It performs great for wake boarding I hear. Stock bottom end at around 500hp is a good approach in my book. My buddy in CA I've been...

    Yeah I talked to Tyson about it the other day. That whole deal is history... But he's not happy with the twin 500hp Cummins performance in that big cat either. Hard to build a boat based around 2400hp+, then cut it back to 1000hp total. He's also waiting for me to get these puppies on a dyno...

    Thanks guys. It's hard to imagine what that idea would look like way back when I posted it several pages ago. My powdercoat guy wasn't real interested in my vision... All he said was, "why didn't you have me do those covers before machining all the grooves?" And "ain't no way I'm masking off...

    Picked up the valve covers today from powdercoat. What y'all think of the color combination?

    Medium Duty CAN bus Protocol

    I'd have to see if it's possible to do that with a tech 2, then capture the command.

    I never did get it to show engine hours or check engine code yet. Maybe next week...:roflmao:

    Medium Duty CAN bus Protocol

    I had a spare LBZ ECU here for testing, but sent it out to a friend in CA to play with. Your on the right path, just need to sniff the packets from another tool that can read bal rates, then create those PID's in Torque. Soon as I get my V2 back from my partner later in the week I'll capture...

    Medium Duty CAN bus Protocol

    All depends on what your looking to display that data on. You can get both balance rates and fuel rate using the Torque app on a phone or tablet. That might be easiest way depending on what your looking to do. -K

    Received the upper covers from CNC, and test fitting looks good. We put bosses on each end for crankcase vents since I wasn't sure of which we wanted to use. Atmospheric venting is ok, but you get that smell of oil inside the boat. So going with pair of MANN oil separators with drain back...

    I thought about that. Here were the best alternative examples I can find online. However the mounting options for the raw seawater pump eliminates putting everything on drivers side and keeping the single belt. Both engines will run a PS pump, so I gotta go with the Banks example. Being my...

    Doing a final mock up, found the Banks marine intake doesn't play well with accessories. I can understand no need for AC pump on a boat, but not even the alternator bracket works... Anyone need mounts in blueberry powder coat, I have two sets now. :(

    Right now his emphasis is on getting a body cast off. Was in a bad crash last month with a customer. Look for the gopro video soon.. He is interested in diesel market. Just not had many calls for his parts. There is a pair of these on a powerstroke he told me. Also suggest i run quick spool...

    These puppies were on the porch when I came home today. I'm getting my UPS driver a Santa hat.

    Starting to look like an engine at least. I cleaned off my work bench, first time in over 10yrs. Then I emptied out my truck onto it. :)

    I'm planning to drag the boat and drives down there Oct 1st, weekend of Clearwater SBI race. WS can do some fiberglass work while I come back up here and dyno the engines. So I'll likely be in town a good bit over next couple months. Would preferred to do sea trials up here on the river, but...

    Yep got busted... Darn ring gears put off a strange odor when I brought them up to temp, which stunk up the whole house before I noticed it... :food: But here is my recipe if you need to change one. 1. Preheat oven to 460-500F. 2. Place ring gear directly on rack and set timer for 45...
