DIY twins/ build thread
- Thread starter mainer
- Start date
Yep and I like to have a couple opinions and just make sure I do it right the first time.. Thanks for all the help you have gave me though. A little complicated? Far from it lol. The fabrication part will be a breeze. I was just not fimiliar with oil line sizes and lengths and where everyone was hooking them up to. I have see a guy I know blow his seals out when he built twins because he didn't use big enough drain lines, so thats why I have been double checking. Like I said, just like to get several ideas/opinions to make sure Im using the correct parts and then sort of do things in my own way. Helps getting tips from couple people so I don't have to spend money twice.

Building twins is proper volumetrics to make them efficient. If that's a breeze how can you not figure how big of a line you'll need for an oil drain?
I said the fabrication part, building the piping and mounts etc.. I just said I was not fimiliar with the line sizes needed, the volume of oil that was moving thats why I didn't know what size lines to run.. Is it really that big of a deal???
BTW: Thanks to those that have helped me.

Lol well if you judge someone of there capabilities by ASKING QUESTIONS to learn something then thats pretty ridiculous.. Ya I have searched and looked for answers but the problem with that is you find a but of questions and never any real answers!! And just for the record I have pm'd the guy that made the mouthpiece numerous times because I PAID HIM for it and its still not right! Guess Ill just bite that one and get someone else to make me the correct flange. Do me a favor, next time you want to know a answer to something and you WILL ask them, make sure you get pissed at yourself for asking a question..

That's what happens when you ask questions for some reason.
Ya they expect you to find all the anwsers by searching! Its possible to do that but half the time you can't ever find what your looking for.
ISN"T THAT WHAT A FORUMS FOR? TO HELP ONE ANOTHER AND TO LEARN?
Locating tabs? I def never said that! The way he made the flange the clamp has NO WAY POSSIBLE to bite down and hold the flange. I was trying to describe to him how a v band has a lip on it for the clamp to bite down onto.. This one won't work either that he remade.. The first flange he made your buddy even saw a picture of it and said hell no that won't work! Im by far no rookie or a beginner at this type of stuff or work, I just simply was unsure of a couple things about the setup. I appreciate your time you took to help me though seriously! I would of done the same for you.
Im done arguing. This is really not needed. Thanks though

Here's a little home built set we just installed on the race truck.

If he told you he'd have to kill you.:rofl:

If you want to see them in action come up to Boise for the T&T Rob will be doing once he gets the injector cup fixed.
A good bit off topic but Trent, do you have a spare engine/block and parts for an engine build yet??? You define "flirting with disaster" and "on borrowed time".
Also curious if you've ever checked your compression and where it's at.
Sorry, just impressed by your truck and wanted to ask. :angel:

maybe i will
It all depends IF our problem is only the injector cup. Rob has some business matters to attend to and he and his family are going on a float trip in about a week, so I'm assuming it will be after the 4th. That would be my guess. You will have to check with Rob. I'm trying to get the 06 together so I can make Spokane with it on the 25th. If Nathan passes on Woodburn I'll be driving Max'd Out at Woodburn on Aug 1.
