    Where's Goldsberg ?

    :firedevil:...:villagers:...:olcoot:>>>>>:wavey: Bison - Do you still have that new gray PMD for sale? PM me if you do, but I would also need a new extension adapter cable (right?)... Regards,

    Where's Goldsberg ?

    Didn't give it a chance. I have 235k on this engine and it needs to go at least another 50K before I replace it. Was running with the cruise on, kicked the brake to slow down and the truck never lost speed. Then I turned the cruise OFF at the switch and never lost speed. I then clutched it...

    You have Aces! What's up??? BTW...I just failed my Dtech PMD after 2.5 years of flawless operation. Ohhhhh and the other interesting news...it failed in a RUNAWAY condition!!! Regards, Gary

    Gm Head Gaskets

    Bare in mind that you can distort the deck from over-torquing the head bolts and studs. Perhaps this is where part of the issue lies with blowing gaskets... I think that you need to contact Lubbock gasket and have them make you a k1000 gasket that will accept a drop-in double-jacket steel fire...

    Performance Cam

    My numerical analysis told me there was nothing there...what did your numerical analysis reveal? Anyone...anyone...buddy?...still don't hear anyone! I guess that puts me at least one leg up on you "buddy". I have done my homework while your still off in the weeds postulating and theorizing...

    Performance Cam

    It's like your reading and the information is passing straight through the void between your ears. You ARE going to change the "scavenging" because you are changing the timing around overlap. The columns of air and gasses entering and leaving the cylinder have momentum, meaning that they don't...

    Performance Cam

    buddy - If you are adding 10 deg to each of the intake and exhaust durations "around TDC" then YOU ARE changing the overlap. Just because it is not a positive number, doesn't mean there isn't an "overlap value". This is called negative overlap and adding or subtracting any duration again...

    Performance Cam

    I think that you DO realize that having a similar cubic inch means nothing with regard to whether a particular lobe profile is "ideal" for another engine of similar displacement, right? This is to say that cylinder head flow numbers, operating RPM, even the induction system type, valve overlap...

    water mist or intercooler

    With that being said, an intercooler that provides little restriction will not be as efficient. This is because the intercooler has to up the air speed to turbulent flow so as to get good "scrubbing" of the air to the interior surfaces of the cooler. If the air is not turbulent, then a...

    This tells me that you do quality work and have been doing this for a while!:thumbsup: I wish that I knew more machinists like you... Regards,

    porting precups

    Could I suggest having them extrude honed to radius the edges and to smooth the interior transition (after machining)? Hey when it's someone elses coin, I go all in!:thumbsup: Regards,

    Performance Cam

    I have done the cam analysis on the 6.5TD. Any changes to the cam (without modifications to anything else) will result in significant loss of bottom end power to realize only minimal gains in the mid-range and upper end. Changes to heads, turbos, etc, may minimize the low-end loss, but there...

    Highest HP ever out of a 6.5

    Exactly. Who even said that it would have to be a rotary? I have a Bosch 8-cylinder "A" pump sitting on the bench at home right now. When my DS-4 takes a dump, guess what is going in my truck? 100cc's would be a walk in the park for that thing. Now, if the pump drive system could just...

    water mist or intercooler

    Yes, but the calculator AND the psychometric charts are a little more involved. Regardless of pre or post-turbo, if you are going to inject too much (by not doing some rough calculations) then I would much rather lunch a turbo ($700) then an engine ($5000). One other question: How "small" are...

    water mist or intercooler

    Pre-turbo is the only way that I would trust a homebrew setup. If you don't know how to run a calculator and psychometric charts, then you just angle the intake pipe upward toward the turbo and keep the nozzle back at least 12 inches from the impeller. Any excess water will condense and run...

    water mist or intercooler

    This is all addressed in the Maxxtorque article, including the advantages of pre-turbo water. The key there is the use a fogging nozzle (not a spraying nozzle). These are specially designed to provide the smallest micron droplet size possible. Read the article. If you have somewhat of a...

    Battery - Largest Cranking Amps

    I use the Wally World Maxx batteries. Pay close attention though, because there are Northern Climate versions and Southern Climate versions of their batteries. This has to do with the molar strength of the acid (cheapening up the batteries for Southern Climate). The last set of batteries (BCI...

    Understanding Marine Injectors

    You believe that WHAT would help? The larger orifice of the marine injector will provide less atomization (in and of itself) than a stock nozzle, unless you provide much more fuel than the stock to the marine nozzle (IE a marine DB2-5722 pump output). That is why I am telling him to increase...

    Understanding Marine Injectors

    Even with a maxed-out DB2-4911 pump, I would say that marine injectors will not increase your fuel mileage over a set of new properly set "stock" injector/nozzles. In addition the extra money for marine nozzles would not be justified. Now if you were installing a DB2-5722 pump and cranking...
