Tim Barber got his 04 ( 555 engine ) to crank out a 974 HP run tonight on Diesel only. There is more. The run was about 75% complete when the turbo let go. We feel it truncated at least 55 HP, perhaps more of "what could have been" LOL
I will post a comparitive graph to the runs made 2 weeks ago that were 867 and you can judge for yourself how much was left in the truck before the failure. Since it popped on the first run, no tuning was accomplished. Just a quick shake down run to get it warmed up.
The runs were made uncorrected on a standard 248C DynoJet at sea level, but it was hot today.
When the turbo blew up it shredded the downpipe. One large piece actually sheared a bell housing bolt off and some stuck into the expanded metal ramps on the dyno. http://www.nwbombers.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/alarm.gif
The Smarty used was not the REVO. That was coming on the next runs. It was the TNT/R.
Still to come: TST cranked a bit, better turbo, bigger stix, and some presssure. Looking for 1100 on Diesel

What turbo blew? Inquiring minds wish to know what to possibly avoid, especially if he broke the same one 4 time.

Tim blew up 3 88mm S400's. There were some machined parts that weren't machined correctly. This one is similar to a GT55 just different :). It appears to have been a hairline crack in the turbine shaft from the factory. It had a dark section where it broke that appears to have been oil seeping into it prior to breaking. Almost as if it was stained.

From What I heard the 92mm charger that Tim gernaded was only at 26psi or so when it let loose. I would definatly say a alloy casting problem. Imagine if that thing was cranking out 50psi.:charger: Thats crazy 1100hp on fuel with a stock bottom end. Sure as heck no other engines that can do that.
