    Different twin turbo questions....

    And I mean twins not compounds... Has anyone ever tried to make two exhaust manifolds, one for cylinders 1-3 and one for cylinders 4-6. Then plumb two separate identical turbos. It would require some type of y connection feeding to a larger exhaust downpipe and y connection feeding into...

    Different trucks, different rail pressures...?

    My truck idles at about 4500psi. I've read of a few other guys having similar readings, but most I've read seem to have 6000-7000psi at idle. My question is, do machining differences in the cp3 cause these variations or is it something else? btw- my truck runs great, pulls hard, and is making...

    12x1.75 tap needed...

    But I need the 6" long tap. Can one of you guys or engine builders tell me where I can get one? I had one sent to me but it was the shorter 3and3/8" version... And I already google searched too many times to count. Everyone has the short ones, no one has the long... :thankyou2:

    Head-studs and socket size questions

    I know I need a 14mm socket, but does it have to be deep or regular? Also do I need any extensions. This is for my 05' common rail. Haven't had the valve covers off yet so I don't know if the height of the injectors or anything else are in the way. Thanks

    Installed rear freeze plug plate today.

    Not the easiest thing to do with the trans not pulled. Laying on the valvecover and reaching back behind the block, working blind is a PITA. The passeger side was the easiest for me. I was able to get my arm down there and feel the hole no problem. The problem is the driver side. I could not get...

    Want 12's... how close am I?

    I ran 14.16 @ 94mph a few weeks back. And I don't think I was at even 10lbs when I left. This was at a weight of 7740lbs with me in truck. I had tools and way too much stuff in truck. I think I can shave off around 400-500lbs easy. Plus I added a VA3.2 and then dynoed at 573rwhp corrected on...

    Recommend a turbo.... please!

    I have been on the fence for too long now. I cannot make up my mind, so maybe some of you guys can help. My truck is street driven, no towing ever. It will be dynoed. It will hit the quarter mile. I'd like 600+hp and be in the 12's. For a start anyway...:evil I've got the trans built, triple...
