LLY: my custom big twins build
- Thread starter duratothemax
- Start date
ok it runs ok, but the f'ing thing is so quiet. Im talking like stock LLY turbo-whistle quiet. Thats not an exaggeration either. My BD/HTT whistled louder. I still can only barely hear any whistle even if I beat the crap out of it in a tunnel.
I know this is a trivial issue, but its really annoying to me. I pay 900 bucks for this stupid turbo and the damn thing doesnt even make any noise. Why?????
Im seriously considering selling these to dave/heepjeep and taking my old twins back.
Will someone please make a disc of their loud turbos spooling up and send it to Ben so he can load in his ipod, or wantever device he uses to listen to music so we don't have to listen to him complain about his newly built twins not whistling for god sake!!
:thumb: Ben I'm deaf I can't hear my either.

My twins arent that loud, you can here the whistle when spooling up, but once spooled its more of a wooosh.

how are the MPI's so loud??? It baffles me...
Nathan...you out there? Whats your secret.
maybe ill mount a little screw or piece of metal inside the inlet to rub on the compressor wheel to give it the whistle/shriek sound.
Give it a little boost leak between the big turbo and the little and I bit it will be loud as can be

I think he got an lbz shortblock after the duramaxtuner rods issue. "Think"... key word there.... Not %100 sure on that

where the hell have you been the past 2 years. You certainly post enough on here, I would think you'd read everything as well.
correct Wes, thank you.
As a recap for those who have been completely in the dark, and/or who are just being a smartass for the hell of it.
I built a motor with DURAMAX TUNER/VORTECFCAR's rods. They were/are pieces of shit. They failed after 15,000 miles of a power level that stock LB7/LLY rods held fine. The best NICK could do for me was refund my purchase price on the rods, because "they are an aftermarket product with no implied warranty". Also that he had no money to pay me back because he was eating the cost in all these failures. (let me get my violin) I told him no, Ill give him some time to get money together and he can pay me back a legit amount later. That was almost 2 years ago. He has since REBUILT his own motor with REAL rods/performance parts, put several different turbos on, etc........ So he seems to have made some money back. I will be calling him this summer............
My truck was down for months because I didnt have enough money to put my truck back together. I dont have a second vehicle or anything, walking places sucks when its -20* outside up at school. Finally I had enough saved up to buy a new/used LBZ shortblock from guy who was great in helping me out. (thanks Guy! :thumb: ) I didnt have any money or time to tear it down and put new/good parts in it, so I now have a stock LBZ short block with LLY heads in my truck and it will probably stay like that for a long time unless someone comes through with a brilliant offer for parts to rebuild my motor to what it should have been the first time around.
So now you know, do I need to make that a sticky?
Besides, whats wrong with LBZ pistons simon? The LBZ's are more hp stock so I thought they would be better???

Ben you dont even have to be on a diesel forum to know that you bought junk rods and they failed.
Did I know that you installed lbz pistons,No! I will assume I read your thread at one point but probably lost interest after all the
