Yes, those are my CAD drawings for my project :)
With main girdles yes, the main caps could still move back and forth. With mine, it replaces all the caps entirely. Oh and there is 40 main bolts :cool:
Peninsular Diesel does offer properly ported cylinder heads. $900 each when I called them a few months ago. Also any shop that has worked on performance engines, have a flow bench, coupled with experience should be able to do a good job as well.
You certainly can put in bigger valves too...
I think we should all be happy enough that they are both willing to devote their time and money into doing the tests they have mentioned :) so maybe we shouldn't push them to do more, because what they are doing so far takes a fair bit of time alone. They have to make sure they get good baseline...
Like I said, if you turned the pump way down you might be okay, but I wouldn't want to take a chance on blowing a motor like that, especially since the engine's oil is circulated through the injection pump.
A DB4 is surely doable, and can be done. Peninsular has them available, as would a...
Isn't the ATT just a T4 flange, drilled for a T3? They have T3 to T4 adapter plates, and I'm sure you could make/get an adapter plate for the Banks exhaust manifold for under $100 :)
18:1 pistons are also cast as far as I know. They would not hold up to the fueling that pump would put out, unless you turn it way down. The bottom end and block is going to be the limiting factor very quickly. The pump and associated parts to make it run doesn't require a lot of special parts...
Getting the injection pump to fit (it's absolutely massive) and getting the firing order right is the easy part. The hard part is getting the engine to survive, remember the stock pistons are cast :eek: and that's not the worst part.
Getting something like that made as a bolt-on is something I...
Would 650cc+ of fuel be enough? ):h :wink5:
I would really like to see someone put a sequential turbo setup on a 6.5, I have a very small AiResearch turbocharger that I could donate for very small dollars if someone is really going to pursue this. It needs a rebuild though.
Okay, well I went over to the shop to take a picture... and forgot I bolted the backing plate back on the water pump :mad2: So I'll explain it.
Behind the water pump impeller there is basically a donut of open space that the coolant is drawn in through. Different diameters of that opening...
Well, I had the place bookmarked, but when we got a new computer I just never loaded my bookmarks onto this one so I'm having a hard tome finding the site again.
Anyways, I'll take a picture today of what needs to be machined. There is a place in Sweden? that specializes in this, but if you can...
Well I have a water pump on one of my other engines that vastly outflows the HO water pumps, and all it needs is a single high flow thermostat. I also wanted a way to block off the coolant bypass all the way, and I knew I didn't need any faster flow to the radiator based on that. I'm using one...
