Compressor inducer measurement... That is all for now.

If you decide to use one of these engines, feel free to give me a yell. I'll gladly help ya where I can!

Exactly! I have a 4bt here that I built purposely for this truck. But honestly, what is the fun in that? Just another chevy with a cummins. Not sure what the other bellhousing is. Sae1 or sae2. Not sure. But this thing with a few extra gears would be a blast to drive!! Smallcase 10speed...

I thot I was smart back in the day, and got a new thermostat for it. Not realising it was incorrect, and all the time I ran it, water temps were top concern. Now, knowing better, I will be curing that issue, and hopefully steer clear of cracked heads. it does seem the head cracking was a...

It has 14mm bolts for the clamping force around the cylinder, and 12mm on the outer bolts. No real sealing issues, so no plans to use studs. I plan to use a high flow thermostat this time. It appears alot of my cooling issues were due to incorrect thermostat. Never watched amish mafia. Have no...

Don't feel bad Mike. It's ok to be curious! I too thot that 1 cylinder head would have been better. But, think about how warped and out of shape it would get. The individual heads can walk around on their own as they heat up and cool down at different rates that the block. I have acutally had 1...

Unfortunately, there are no 8cyl ve pumps. In fact, on the 6cyl, we run into plunger fill time issues. I too wonder how many people have pushed the better 6.5 blocks. If they held up, would be an absolutely deadly engine!

Well, if i had a db4 here, I could dig in and make something happen! Not sure what you'd do with 200cc of fuel on a 6.5! Make carnage I guess! This is why I like my ve pumps. Just too easy to get alot of fuel, and timing from. Not to mention, they remain as reliable as stock when fully modded.

200cc @ 1500rpm, and 180cc @ 3300rpm. 15 degree of advance. Should make me smile when I put my foot into it!

Getting the pump benched. Time for variable timing. This was my first pump build. Could never get timing rite, so I just blocked it. Now, with what I've learned, i have more available timing, and can dial it in wherever i want it! 6.5 marine injectors set to 3800psi. This will be a totally...

This definitely sounds workable! Does anyone know what signal the alternator puts out on that tach wire? Ac? Dc? Pulse width? Square wave? Or mebbe I should just throw a labscope on it and find out exactly what it is?

I would like to make the factory tach work. On the gas engines, we just feed it 4 pulses per ngine revolution. But the 6.5 tach runs off the alternator... I doubt 4 pulses per engine revolution would do anything for the 6.5 computer...

Does anyone know how to make the in-dash tach work without having the alternator there to generate the signal? What do I need to feed that wire to make it work?

I suspect it to actually be an aisin. Everyone calls it an allison tho. If it is indeed an allison, it would be at least the 1000 series.

If you get a donor vehicle, then yes, you'd have what you need to run it. Most of the behring trucks have an allison... would be a sweet conversion!

Don't forget, unless you have a computer to control the engine, you gotta make these mechanical. Last pump I built for one was over $1k. Talked with a friend who has one in his 99 k2500. He never ran hot egt or water temps, and still cracked a head. That didn't make me feel very good. The...

And... For those who think they MUST raise pop pressure on injectors when raising boost pressure, this engine never had pop set higher to deal with the 70psi. This was my first diesel. I knew NOTHING about pop pressure and suchlike things. I just gave it air and fuel and drove the wheels off it...

I am going with dodge parts. Air to air cooler and radiator. Should suffice! Yes, compounds. I had an hx30/hx52 before. This time, just stepping it up a wee bit in attempt to control boost and egt. It ran over 70psi boost at over 1600 egt before. I word it this way simply because that is where...

It is all good for the most part... Except when coolant temps go too high. They can move around on their own, and not crack like a 1 piece head does. As far as how to prevent cracking? Extra cooling, lower egt. Not alot else to do.

Mods, can you delete the double post? Thanx!
