Boy now you shed a bunch of light on the subject for me...*bdh*
I have seen the light...:cheer:
I need a bigger engine and less room and then the parallels will make perfect since... Now it all makes perfect sense..:doh:
Thanks for changing my mind Charles...:Cheer:

That looks so good, and we don't have one here. :bang
Um......
If I'm "beating a dead horse" by explaining that YET again.... they how exactly is it that you still don't get it? To the point of actually showing engines with multiple times your displacement, making 3 or more times your power as examples of successful engines running a parallel single stage.... even though the reasons they parallel the stage DO NOT APPLY to your stupid ass setup...
Maybe you're telling me I'm beating a dead horse because you know you're too stupid to ever understand something like that?
I think you're right...
Steak tacos might keep me from popping a blood vessel in my forehead while hopelessly trying to explain to a fence post that 2+2 = 4, not 22.
I will admit 100% that Charles has alot of good info and knowledge he shares. But he is what, in his early 20s and has been alive half as long as some of the guys I have spoke with in depth about this setup prior to doing it. Those guys have been doing this stuff as long as Charles has been alive now. So do you think I am going to listen to a guy that has been doing it for 20+ years or a guy that has only been alive only 20+ years??
Charles can talk and cuss and rant till he is blue in the face but it will not change my mind. I have to have hands on hard facts in front of me rather than theories. BTW, there is nothing spectacular I have ever seen Charles do yet that has turned the diesel world upside down. Atleast I am trying something completely different then anyone has done on the strokers rather than taking everyone elses knowledge and refining a compound setup that is guaranteed to work so there is no chance of failing.
We learn nothing in life without failures...:Cheer:

You make a valid point but age has nothing to do with experience. would you listen to somebody that has been there and done that and is only 20 or somebody that has only read about it and is say 35? im just saying

Needs triangulation
Yeah, cause there were SOOOOOO many wildly successful compound turbo 7.3 liter daily drivers when I fabbed my setup, lol. Pretty sure I brought that one into the realm of the everyday guy that wants a nice clean DD that makes decent power.
I'll patiently await the day that your dedicated "race" truck with heinous lag and billowing smoke makes as much power as my daily driver that is still 100% tow friendly...
And for probably the 6th time..... you are NOT doing anything revolutionary. You're running a single stage 7.3. News flash..... they all CAME that way from the factory.
Oh, and while I will make NO mistake about the fact that I'm just a guy that read a few turbocharger books sitting on the sh*tter, ran a bunch of numbers and fabbed up a compound setup in my barn, my sh*t does actually work as intended. And has been doing so every day for 2 or 3 years now.
Btw, I'm 27. Still green for sure. So how old are you?

no its 2 stages cause its got two turbos, right?:bang:hehe:
And that was correct for my first budget build a few years back. But if you use turbos that are sized accordingly then that will not be an issue.
Same as those big engines above. They do not just slap a couple turbos on there they found in the back room. Those turbos are sized accordingly for the displacement pushing them.
I can argue and get bashed all day long on here and it will get us no where.
Like I said before, everyone should just set back and see what happens. If it fails I will be the first to admit it.
But if it don't fail I would like to see some of these guys admit it too. But I am betting that will never happen.
I am done with this thread. I have better things to do, like work on my POS parallel setup that will never work.:doh:
You all have fun and take care....:Cheer:

I agree read the part in bold in my signature, but it also pays to listen to other peoples experience young or old.
There is a good reason I never did a parallel setup on a 7.3, I did look into it but as Charles pointed out it simply cannot work to it's full potential in our application over what a good single will do.

Have fun working on your jungle gym of a turbo setup and dont let your meat loaf
DUDE!
WTF do you think it's going to do? Split the F'ing atom? :bang
A "SUCCESS" for you would simply be not F'ing up and being worse off than your regular joe powerstroke guy, running a big single in the stock location. Holy smokes batman. WHAT an achievement that would be... :doh:
(scratches head)
Do you take medication? If so, have you kept your prescriptions filled properly? Is the pharmacist possibly F'ing with you and mis-filling?
Cause this is unreal.

The way I see it a success for him would be getting the truck to run for more than 20 seconds
True, I may have inappropriately suggested crawling, when he's still in the piss and spit up on yourself phase...
