    Fuel Cooler

    I've got a couple oil coolers about the size of the one shown above off an older Indy car setup. I never used them in my project. So if anyone wants one get in touch. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    LMM: LMM 900-1000hp build

    That stands to reason for higher HP applications. The bowl design issues are well addressed in both I feel. Thanks

    LMM: LMM 900-1000hp build

    My data is on the water with the most hours logged to date in a marine setting. Over 300hrs and still going strong, with another member now.. WOT time measured in minutes, max EGT 1650 without failure. All well documented online, alnong with the pile of cracked and melted stock LLY they...

    LMM: LMM 900-1000hp build

    Whats the main difference between Finger's pistons and the new low compression Mahle with graphite skirt coating and valve reliefs? I liked the Mahle's, holding well at 650+ and extended time over 1500f. Only suggestion I would add is drill out the oiler tips, helps piston cooling and gives...

    are valve cover gaskets reusable?

    I ditched the diaphragms and springs, and cut out some cork gaskets. Ran both vents into a catch can with a k&n crankcase filter. Problem solved.

    Which would be better?

    I'm with part it out. Sell the engine to someone like me looking for a pair of LMM's for a boat project.. ;-)

    lly doesn't have the bottom end

    Purley from low end torque changes I noted in my boat, it's intake Y and injectors related. Stock parts LLY with 4094 and pro-fab exhaust only, had trouble getting on plane with my biggest prop. Lowered CR to 16.5, added custom built 3" LB7 Y-pipe, and +45% injector tips, and it came alive. So...

    Rolling coal. Bad for all of us.

    Bumper Sticker Such a fuss has been made of all those "Prius Repellant" stickers, I figure it's time for a more politically correct moto. Here's my submission... Who wants one?

    Rolling coal. Bad for all of us.

    Rollin Biodiesel How about this... Lets all take video of our rigs rollin coal on pure biodiesel and post em up to piss off the Prius crowd. I'll even supply the fuel. Since it's the cleanest carbon based fuel available anywhere today, and will pass emissions straight pipped better than a...

    Top horsepower on stock injectors

    Ya might bump it anonther 1-200us and see how it does.. All I can say is GM lowered the compression for a reason, and I'm a firm believer it was the right move. Big timing on the 17.6cr bottom end leads to piston holes ya can stick your finger in... I've fingered a couple in my younger days.... lol

    Top horsepower on stock injectors

    Agree with 650. Just pulled up the old LLY tune when I purchased D boat and it was about the same us and timing as yours and others I seen posted here. With those specs and a larger turbo it was claimed to be making 650hp crankshaft, but I say it was 50/60 lite.. Updated with plus 50% sticks @...

    LB7: Fuel rail pressure low at WOT

    To your original question, YES. If your fuel pressure was actually that low at WOT, I'm thinking you'd be popping codes and triggering limp mode. If it's not limping, I'm guessing it's feeding ya BS data. Some tuners or add on boxes used trickery to jack the pressure. I know the Quadzilla I...

    Parallel Twin VGT's

    Ok leave it to Audi / VW to master it first. The 4.2L V8 twin VGT that Mercury marine uses is actually the Audi 4.2L TDI marinized. Same diesel that's stock in the VW Touareg and other German offerings. That little sucker makes some power, 370hp stock. Here is one I found in a A8 mildly tuned...

    Parallel Twin VGT's

    Look under garage sale for Ultimate Duramax Toy. Pics and links on it there. Here is a unique spin on the parallel twins that I had missed. From: http://www.autozine.org/technical_school/engine/Forced_Induction_3.html "Nissan VG30DETT engine on the last generation 300ZX had each turbo feed...

    Parallel Twin VGT's

    Drive gearing is the sticker Catman. But since it's relevant to my reason for twins, quick lesson on why performance diesels in performance boats are uncommon. Typically a gas engine spins 4500 - 6500R's and uses 1.5:1 or 1.75:1 drive gear ratio depending on CID. Your looking to spin the prop...

    Parallel Twin VGT's

    Catman; my current boat is the 21' Warlock PPE built a few years ago.Single non-VNT turbo. However, I grew up on a Bluewaters and know them well. My brother has a 53 currently. Those were rare with diesel power... We have talked about switching his from gas, but in your case it wouldn't be...
