I haven't had to have to take it apart it still runs and drives as good as the day I finnished the build. It smokes more now Under WOT but I think it's cause the exhaust clamp is a bit
Loose going into the turbo. The build cost me about a grand and alot more hours were put into it then what I...
.
Agreed 18-19:1 would hold boost numbers that high alot better over the stock comp. I have mid to high 17 compression on my "built" engine and love it. The other one with the twin turbos is even lower then that and I still
Have no complaints on it at all.
Yeah I was completely aware what I was getting into. It's not like I could come back and say you sold
Me a junk block. It's odvious I was well
Educated on the condition of it. I have put worse blocks then yours back into service. I wasent planning on building a
Monster it's just for a farm...
Yeah that's why I was wondering about buying one off of him. But for some reason he doesent want to sell it and rather have it sit on his garage floor taking up space and whine about it on this forum.
Running 38-40 psi with stock compression on a stock bottem end that does not suprise me one bit that Somthing let go. I'm sorry to hear that it happend I know how much time, effort and money goes into a build.
Haha i have a duramax and i still wrench on 6.5s more often then most guys on this fourm. Not becaues i half to i do it for the challange! more of a hobby of mine, it shure is fun beating my buddys vortec 5.3s and hemi's with my old 6.5 :)
I was thinkin ship it to the boarder then i could pick it up there. Im not to sure what it would cost. I guess that would depend on if its the bare block or with heads crank, pistions ect.
here is my 0-60 run, i have the boost turned up as high as i plan on going with this engine its around 30 psi give or take a pound or 2 for inaccurate guage. I cant wait to try my other turbo.

I deleted the AC condenser and I have dual alternators that's probley why the truck won't over heat for me since it's so free flowing with minimum restrictions. Also you you say the clutch fan uses 6 HP or more? Is that locked or just normal use. Also was that with a completly clean rad and AC...
When I was working my truck like described in the last post it was all done with both fans on the low speed. I have never had to turn them both to full power. I don't know how
Much of the rad your 16 inch fans will cover but
The Taurus fans I got from the junk yard cover about 95 percent of the...
