    Watch rail pressure while cranking. Also watch for crank and cam position signal while cranking.

    Duramaxzak 2.6 pulling truck build

    I think you need to switch to fpp rules. Easier on the engine! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Piecing together an s400 kit

    Wehrli kits use 3.5 downpipe and they fit nice. The ats 4" downpipes were flattened and tweaked here & there to clear everything. Installation with the engine in the truck can be difficult. If you ever have the engine out, it's worth it to give the firewall a few love taps with a rubber...

    LBZ: Another broken piston. What's the cause ?

    The last one i fixed burnt a hole like that. Siezed the wrist pin in the rod bushing and spun it around. It also welded the wrist pin bushings in the piston to the pin itself. Cylinder required .040 overbore and obviously new pistons and 1 new rod. Not all that frequent so hopefully not...

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    Best thing to do IMO, if time and $ were available, would be to get a set of Motorsports cast pistons and have the pins lightened to make up some(hopefully all) of the weight difference. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    T4 Flange bolts backing out!

    Are they bolts or studs? I always use two studs and two bolts. Never had them back out

    LBZ: Another broken piston. What's the cause ?

    Mahle Motorsports cast Pistons will take serious abuse, let alone fingers' design. When people say they have a 'built' motor, a large majority of them are running one of these two pistons

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    Ok, a pm made me reread the original post. I misread it. I thought jd asked if anyone swapped stock-for-stock Pistons. I have never swapped a stock for a Motorsport piston. However, if for some reason the Motorsport Pistons would weigh the same or a few grams variance, then I would...

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    If you have a few to pick from, you could weigh each piston and replace it with the closest one in weight. These engines are so far from perfect balance from stock that you wouldn't believe it. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Question: What's the most hp made on s400 frame turbo?

    Negative Joe! This runs great on the street, considering. 87tw 1.0 A good 475 or 6 would probably make the same peak #'s but the nice thing is he'll not outgrow this charger even as he changes other things. Just as long as he stays away from the nitrous, right? Sent from my XT1585 using...

    Question: What's the most hp made on s400 frame turbo?

    Anyone have any insight on getting good runs out of a large single? As far as driving and loading techniques? I dyno tuned a S480 single setup last week. Started the pull at 2200rpm in 5th gear and was able to get great consistent runs, even within 2hp & 3 lb-ft of each other. The problem is...

    Unplugging everything mentioned above will more than likely fix it. Ran into it once before.
