    SIKDMAX LMM painfully slow Install/Build Thread

    The thought of something going into the intake while the Intake bridge was being built/worked on crossed our minds, it will be checked when they pull the heads off and check the pistons and all that. HGs were verified they were installed correctly and some other checks as well yesterday. I...

    SIKDMAX LMM painfully slow Install/Build Thread

    I would Dave, but its about 230 miles on the highway - not sure if that would be the best way to break it in, along with not having a shop/help nearby if something breaks. Just to put things in perspective here a bit, and we all know how much shops charge - PPE has over 40 man hours into it...

    SIKDMAX LMM painfully slow Install/Build Thread

    Its off, it was warped, was not an oring problem. They can not surface the flange down to make it flat without changing the angle of the Vband. Its not usable is what I was told. The Cyl 5 intake valve isnt sealing correctly allowing air out. That corresponds to the low cylinder PSI on...

    SIKDMAX LMM painfully slow Install/Build Thread

    Ya... please no one take anything in the wrong context here. My original motor blew a hole in its stock piston at 530HP with 20,003 miles December 28, 2008. It since then has had a full engine build by SoCal and Twin Turbos fabricated and put on by RPM Motorsports. It is now being finished...

    Anyone here been to FrontSight?

    I wanted to post this here in addition to my FB because what Im able to offer is unreal, and I wanted everyone possible that wants to to get in on it. I was very fortunate recently to get a Lifetime Diamond membership to FrontSight. This has a retail price on their website of $99,800! (No, I...

    Sorry, I misspoke. Didnt mean ring. I was all flustered typing while watching my truck run haha. Blew a hole through the piston at 530HP racing with 20k miles on the engine. Anyways - compression is good - low but consistent on drivers side around 220. Rings ARENT seated yet as Simon...

    SIKDMAX LMM painfully slow Install/Build Thread

    It doesnt help that Im 4 hours away. Its a SoCal built motor. There is something going on inside. The low compression they think is from a missing spacer in the hold down for the injectors. That would have been me or Jason when the injectors were put in. Dan called Guy and discussed...

    There is engine pulsing coming out of the gap the whole bottom side of the flange where it warped when being welded is what I was told. Mind you, this is engine pulses coming out of the intake. There are issues. They are tearing it down and investigating further - means the turbos, piping etc...

    Truck has as low as 50 psi of compression in some cylinders, Russ's bling bling oh la la custom intake manifold is a $1000 piece of shit paper weight that is warped and leaked beyond the point of fixable. Im pretty much over it - I think it will be put up for sale if it ever runs correctly.

    I need a set of 8 Injector spacer pads is how they were decribed to me - about 1/2" in diameter about 40 thousandths thick or so. Go between the head and Injector hold down I beleive. Anyhave have a set? The truck has a miss - either caused by a stuck/tight valve as above, or a pushed...

    Got a call from Dan just now. They got a lot buttoned up last week and today: Fuel Filter relocated to under/beside the big turbo. Custom coolant overflow tank Rerouted a transmission line that was run incorrectly (I would assume this was my fault) Straightened out the PPE dual fueler -...

    As Russ stated, there is/was 1 battery in a GM Frame Mount on the drivers side between the 2 doors. The Drivers side batt wiring was rerouted back there, as well as (some) of the passenger battery wiring. All wiring is getting tied together to 1 battery, which is being moved from the frame...

    ? Im 4 hours away, I have no idea. I was told over the phone that the engine has a tick and the first thing that came to Dans mind was a cracked flexplate. He said they can drop the trans and check it out or 99% sure it will be going to Mikes to have him check out/change the converter from...

    All I know is that the wiring to the Brand new Optima Red Top I bought for the truck and installed in the drivers side military frame mount said 4 AWG going to it. The 3 techs at PPE all said the same thing (individually I might add, as they were looking at my truck 1 on 1 with me ) about the...
