Finally gettin twins!!!!

[TrentNell]

no no no no no lol. if it aint happen on #2 or with the current heavy ass weight my truck is at, i aint gunna push it unless you would like to contribute to my motor fund as well?? :rofl: maybe guy will give us a discount for doin two motors at once lol

Stock twins with good strong tune and healthy CP3 mid-low 600's at your elevation isnt too hard to hit , and should give Steve a run for his money asuming he has a stock Cp3 still .

BTW I am supposed to pick them up from coating tomorrow , so you may have them before the long weekend !!!

I've just got the LBZ regulator in my OEM LLY CP3.

In the same boat as James needing a new CP3, or rebuild. I'm dropping to 18k on 3100uS!

Yeah and its in as bad a shape as mine lol. I jsut weigh much more and the 37s wont help at all. Plus i dont wanna be runnin on borrowed time quite yet. If i shorten rods or puke one out the side im SOL for a long time. My biggest thing about them is being able to tow with a high tune and low egts!!! lol

AWESOME!!!!! i really jsut wanna put it on the truck, leave the hood open and stare at the turbos. Well till i start it and wanna see how far 37s spin on asphault

X2 I find it hard to blame it as the cause , its a far better flowing way to drain the oil and its hard to say if the drain is at fault . I have ran both ways on my own truck and have customers both ways , haven't heard of a complaint yet , but I didn't hear about Reece's either so............................

It was on Reeces truck. Lines werent kinked or anything. This was on Trents original kit and as far as I know Reece was one of the first people to do it. You havent heard anything because hes selling those twins and building his motor and bigger twins. Its either that or the S475 didnt have good seals but I dont think you would sell him a bum charger. Theres pressure in the valve covers why does that seem impossible for it to back the oil up?

because the whole crank case , valve covers included share the same pressure regardless of where you tie into it.
Also he wasnt the first to try it , I did , tested it with no issue's so gave him the option of either or .

Sounds more like an engine issue than a twin kit issue.

I never said it was an issue with the kit, just possibly with the drain location. How do you propose its an engine issue? It makes too much oil pressure haha

well concidering it seems to be one isolated incident, reece has not said anything to trent nor posted on here about it, and it will be easier for me to do it that way than pull the start im gunna try it. should it propose a problem, ill just plug it and drill into the upper oil pan.

I still don't know how you figure the valve cover has any more pressure than the upper pan since the share the same "chamber" , and you are saying that pressure exceeds the 80 + psi the rings are rated for ? In fact the valve cover is draining into open case where as the upper pan is submerged so you have to feed "though" oil to even drain . the oil rings on a turbo are almost the same design as a piston ring and are fairly hearty, the drain pressure would have to exceed the feed pressure ( 40-80 psi) in order for it to be the blaim for the leak . I have seen too high of feed pressure cause the turbo seals to leak but that was on a truck with 150 psi of oil pressure.

I respect and am open to some one questioning something , but at least do it with facts , and not "I think so" but cant support it with facts, you show actual facts and am all ears and will retract the fact that it is a good spot to drain oil, and yes there is pressure in the crank case but the other spot is under the same pressure so there is no escape from it .

 

[RENODMAX]

So I'm making it up since reece hasn't posted? I wasn't saying there's a flaw with the kit, its just the only time I've heard of a problem. How can you say that an entire system shares the same pressure? Technically that's impossible

 

[Chevy1925]

No i wouldnt be saying that. i would think if it were that big of issue he would have said something to trent.

 

[TrentNell]

I dont doubt its happening , but Reece should really give me a shout , if its the turbo so be it , if its the drain so be it but to bash something on a "wim" is silly .

 

[TrentNell]

well if you want to argue lets say that since the valve cover is the closest to the crank case ventilation ports that the pressure should be the lowest there .................. right :rofl:

Trent I didn't bash anything. I merely stated he may wanna rethink that valvecover drain. Then everybody jumped on it.

its completely understandable but its a matter of hear say right now ya know

Jordan I know your not trying to bash anything , but if i tell you "hey Jordan my Buddy drank a Budweiser and after he was done his ears started bleeding" and then said " I dont think you should drink one either because your ears will bleed too "

you being a paramedic ( just as i am a mechanic in this scenario ) you are going to say , I dont think its the Bud Trent , though not impossible , I want to find out why before I turn down a cold one or start telling others not to .


I provide the supplies in the kit to use either , and don't really care which they choose but i believe both to be viable options.

 

[maine04max]

just throwing out an idea here , but what if the drains in the heads are clogged up with gunk?
I could see that being an issue .
but if all is well cant see how pressure is going to force oil back into turbo unless major ring issue and getting blowby

 

[SteveFord]

The way I took your post when you said there was pressure in the valve covers was that it was excessive pressure causing it not to drain. Figured you saying he was building his motor was an indication there was something else wrong.

 

[RENODMAX]

If you look at my first post it just says to think about it. I didn't say it will mess your turbo up for sure.
