    Solid motor mounts and midplate

    Has anyone messed around with putting a midplate between the bell housing adaptor and bellhousing to stiffen everything up on a pulling truck? If a guy used a sheet of 1/4 aluminum would that space it out too much and mess with input shaft engagement? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Preload installing Kenny's girdle

    I can't remember how much higher to leave the main caps than the pan rail. .015-.020? Or am I way off? What does everyone do to get a consistent initial height measurement off the cap before machining? A straight edge and dial indicator or is there a better way? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Fly cut clearances

    Filled block with .016 piston to wall clear. Cast pistons and .100 over valves with 8mm stems. I have mocked up and cut .250 deep pockets in an old piston giving myself .125 clearance on each side of the valve. This seems excessive, but the more I thought about it maybe the larger diameter...

    Twins piping for 2nd gen

    My old twins piping and primary for sale. All mandrel bends and powdercoated. Made for a 12 valve but would probably fit other 5.9s with a 2nd gen manifold. Primary is a 71mm hx55 with mfs (factory billet) wheel that could use an oil seal. Top turbo is not included. I used an s300 but an...

    Recommendations on needle valve for regulated return?

    Where are you guys getting needle valves to regulate the return side of your ppump? I plan on running a magnafuel 750 or 1000 pump off of the front cover at 60 psi. Is 6an hose substantial enough for the return side? I am running a 12mm with 5 X .020s with plans of a better ppump this fall. I...

    cam/springs/rpm

    I think I am going to go with a 232-252 106.5 lsa but am waiting a couple of weeks on flow numbers. What kind of spring pressure am I capable of running with a cast cam with bushings, .100 larger valves, 5500 rpm, over 80 psi boost. I will be cutting the spring pockets wider so I am open to...

    beehive springs/steel retainers OR dual springs/titanium retainers

    Looking at the comp 26120 beehive spring which is 155# closed and 377# open but can't seem to find a Ti retainer that is only 1.095 OD, so I would run a steel retainer with this setup. Also looking at the comp dual spring 977 which is basically a 1.460" spring that is 155# closed and 419# open...

    How safe is it to inject laughing gas in compounds with no external gate for dyno

    62/71/14 with spring gate over 80/92/1.1 with 12mm ppump and 5x18s. Will be dynoing my pickup this next weekend and wondered how safe it would be to inject interstage with a large jet at wot without an external gate. I have a 60mm wastegate but have not welded the flange onto my manifold yet...

    Where to buy intercooler cores?

    Looking to buy a 4.5" by 16.5" by 36" air to air core that is capable of 100 plus psi. Bell intercooler is out of my budget. Anyone have any luck here?

    What cutter for fire ring groove 12 valve?

    What width cutter are you guys using to cut a groove for .105" fire ring. EEP website says 4.52 OD on the groove. What should the ID of the groove be? My math says between .120 and .125 cutter to allow float on either side of the ring. Some one enlighten me. :thankyou2:

    Advantages to intercooling between stages?

    Is there any advantage to plumbing the intercooler (air/air) between the secondary and primary turbos in a compound set up? Daily driving/ sled pulling/ racing. I have seen some pullers do it with an air/water intercooler just wondered if the hassle would be worthwhile on a dd rig? I plan...

    HX 55 oil feed

    Fabbing twins for a first gen motor using an hx 55. A couple of questions: The spare oil feed port in the top of the oil filter housing is 1/8" npt. Should I convert the npt to jic or find a tee for the existing larger, factory oil feed port and feed both turbos off of one port. 1/8 npt just...

    ksb dynamic timing

    I am swapping a 93 motor into a 94 chassis. I just did all the mods to the ve including adding an m and h spacer plate to increase the duration of the dynamic timing. My question is, how do I take advantage of the dynamic timing on the ve without using the entire wiring harness from the 93? Can...
