Is there any twinned Duramaxes in the house?

[RacinDuallie]

Post up some engine bay pics if you have a d-max that is twinned.:ylsuper:

[Noreaster]

IdahoRob & Subman have twinned trucks

[IdahoRob]

Here's one of mine.

I know a guy putting them on this weekend! I'll sneak a pic if he lets me.

[C.A.P]

Hmmmmmmmmm does this so called guy live in or near Wisconsin ..........hmmmm or drive a grayish lly ???????????

[Diesel Tech]

bobo would need to ask himself permission and since we all know his willpower when it comes to Hp I'm sure he will say OK :)

[Kat]

I got to see Submans twins on Sunday :woohoo:

[Nasty Girl]

Here are some pics of my twins (Turbo's, CP3's and 5" duals) :woohoo:

[BUCKSHOT]

Nasty what it with the Black square spare tire? My guess is Battery relocated or it could be weight holder for sled pulling?

Batteries were relocated and electrical shutoff installed on back bumper.

[nummit]

Very cool. Nice job Nasty

[Subman631]

Thanks Kat for posting a pic of my twins, I just got home from my long trek to Idaho for a new bottom turbo, SoCal for tuning with TTS and some fun and scrapes at Fontana, Phoenix for a submarine reunion, Medford for a new CP pully and some racing with PaulP and Max Payne. Keith your setup is really something, I especially like the twin 5" exhaust. Do you know yet what is going on with the engine? Subman.

Still waiting to hear from eric. I am sure he will come get Nasty here soon! :woohoo:

[C.A.P]

All should wait and wonder ! This is a engine that has,............ and will chart new teritory for the Duramax.

[Bobo]

Add me to the list.

Thank you!!


IdahoCTD(Nathan Wright)@ Maximized Performance does it again!:ylsuper:

Twins the Wright way!:Cheer:

There is a pkg here to give it some more fuel too! Maybe this weekend! I'm running 55psi of boost with one Cp3....this otta be good!

[CookCR]

Looks great!! I think in colorado its illegal to have the bed of your truck that clean, and unscratched!! Hopefully i can add another success story to nathans products when i get my truck back this weekend from elite.

[Slick]

Looks like all the tuning help you've been giving everyone is paying off for ya!!! Congrats on the upgrades man.:rockwoot:

[IdahoRob]

That set looked better in my truck:shake:

Yeah, that truck bed looks way to unblemished, what's the deal? Show truck?

[Timbeaux]

Very Nice Bobo... very nice indeed.

[Bobo]

Very Nice Bobo... very nice indeed.

Thank you. It took me and my buddies a few days to do all the work. It turned out great. Had one small oil leak and Nathan helped me figure it out. That was the only problem I've had so far. Thing sounds like a 747 on takeoff. I can build 10 psi of boost by reving it up in the driveway....which is kinda cool. I want to run it at the track before the Twin CP3's go on, but the tracks have been running events and no T&T. Maybe this weekend I'll be able to go. If not, the other Twins are going on!:ylsuper: It is a handful on the street the way it sits right now.:evil

[C.A.P]

ME LIKES ! I like the grey powder coating !

[Burner]

Beats hell out of a BD Turbo IMHO.:kick:




Looks GREAT Bobo!

[97crewcab]

What are you guys using for a primary on these twins?
Looks awsome.

YA THINK !:hump:

[Micheal Tomac]

All show and no go ??? Get to the track already. Let's see something faster than high 11's out of a twin charger Duramax

[Bobo]

That was on a single CP3 with a lot of fine tuning. I don't expect to go that fast right out of the box, but I'll get to the track soon. I just got the darn things on.

[Burner]

Twins running as well as one HUGE single(+) at the track...... ummm doubtful IMHO. :bang

[Nasty Girl]

Show em what Maximized Performance twins can do Bob! :woohoo:

[IdahoRob]

What did you run with a single CP3?

Want to add up costs on trucks?

I'm running stock injectors, factory lly CP3, and ran many 11 sec. 1/4 mile runs at higher elevation. I surely don't recall you running any 11's on fuel.

The D-max's are improving fast, money doesn't always go the fastest.

I drive mine everyday(my only transportation), use for commerical plow contracts in the winter, and have full exhaust. These twins work well in both worlds.

[Micheal Tomac]

Don't take what I said the wrong way IdahoRob. Bobo is always talking smack so I'm just returning the favor with a little ribbin' about his "show truck" looking bed.

The twins do have their advantages but for all out power I still think a big single will make the same or more power. You can produce more boost with twins but boost is just a measure of restriction, not power.

For me and others in MI, IN, KY that truck pull twins would severely limit our hooks since there aren't any classes that allow twins. The places that do allow twins also allow big singles and the big singles dominate. So far the fastest Duramaxes all have single chargers.

I ran 12.0X with a single, stock CP3 with PPE tuning and 11.5X with dual CP3's and EFI Live tuning by Kennedy. My truck is just as streetable as yours. BTW, I haven't spent as much as you would think.

[Bobo]

Hey Mike, don't forget that we are running the redheaded step child LLY's too. They are known for being slow. Throw on a set of these worthless twins and you got yourself a real heap of crap. I'm hoping it will run 13's at least. I can only dream of going as fast as Mikey Tomac's professionally tuned LB7. You think KD will make me a tune so I can go fast?

Badger Truck Pullers allow twins here in WI!!!

[wideopen]

OK guys as much as I enjoy reading your comments to each other about your tunning and your Single Vs. Twins.. lets keep this thread civilized.

Thanks,

Phil

[Micheal Tomac]

I thought you were a big shot tuner bobo? So I'd have two states to pull in if I had twins, OH & WI. I could also pull with DHRA Super Street but that class is dominated by big singles and they are allowing unlimited drivelines next year (rockwells, profab, ect) .

[IdahoRob]

The original bash was against twins and track times. I know squat about pulling.

The twins work well at the track and the street. With twin CP3's I think I could pick-up the .3 to run with you Michael, but it's not in the buget right now. It is fun being one of the fastest max's in the country, but I mostly run bracket events, so being the fastest isn't a top priority.

With more people running twins now, I guess I'll not take offense from comments unless directed towards me personally.

I'm off to the track for a five day national pro event.

Rob

[Micheal Tomac]

good luck beating up on the gassers

[paulb]

Good luck at the Halloween Classic Rob!! I really wanted to go this year, but I have other racing conflicts.

I understand there will be some other diesels racing in the sportsman class as well, as a couple of you in the Pro class.

Go get them!!!

Paul

[Bobo]

A big shot tuner? I never said that, but thanks for the compliment!

[Idaho CTD]

Yes and no. Will your Aurora make the same power as Bobo's? Yes it probably will. Will it make the same as Keith's set up? Not a chance in He!!. Keith's big turbo flows over 50% more than your Aurora.

Higher boost means your trying to shove more air into a given space over the same amount of time. It's not all that uncommon to be able to make close to the same boost with a single as twins if it isn't wastegated but making 50+psi with a single isn't where the hp is at. Your rotating a lot less weight with one turbo vs. two. The advantage to twins is really good street manners and low egt's yet the capabilities of high hp. As the every day hp levels go up that get's harder with a single. It's simple physics. As a rotating mass increases it's harder to turn with a fixed force. There are ways around that (like smaller housings and turbine wheels) but they all have consequences. There will come a time/hp/smoke when singles just wont cut if for anything less than a race/pulling truck due to drivability.

[Burner]

dang good post Idaho.

[Nasty Girl]

And now we all know why Nathan (Maximized Performance) is ......."The Man!" :woohoo:

[Micheal Tomac]

Idaho CTD, I don't consider the Aurora a "BIG" single. A turbo bigger than the Aurora can still be streetable if it's built and sized right. With an auto trans and the right converter a "BIG" turbo can be very streetable.

[Timbeaux]

BIG like S400 big?
I think we need to define Big. LOL

It ain't BIG unless it has to be roof mounted...LOL

Congrats Bobo!

This is REALLY weird... I can actually see all the posts in a technical thread. ;)

Yeah you have to remove rotating mass to get it too spool (damn physics again) along with using a tight housing. You can run a sloppy converter and it will make boost/power way up in the rpm band to make it seem like it drives good. Sure you can street it but it's no where near ideal and you have to work at not barking it. It's comical what people now call streetable compared to a year or two ago.

ATS twin CP3's are on. Wow, what a cool kit. The LLY has a connecting block so it is set up like an LB7 system now. It ROCKS and looks sweet!

[txastuff79]

about how much are the twin kits going for on a duramax?

[John Robinson]

Here are some pics of my twins (Turbo's, CP3's and 5" duals) :woohoo:
Wow Keith!! All those hoses & tubes are very clean & well placed. Kinda looks like Michel Jackson at cub scout convention playing twister!! :hehe: Nice work.
