For your amusement ( if not a repost), this turbo was tweaked a little high . As one guy quipped, 'bring out the JB weld!'.

That's crazy. In the 1st pick the wheels are still spinning. That's just nuts.

Who said diesels can’t Handel boost

jeff jackson

GOOD GRIEF... Holy Mackeral...and all sorts of other expletives. I have seen lots of Blower explosions, heads blown off, etc. etc....But thats a first...Never seen a BLOCK blow apart and leave the crankcase, for THE MOON !!!

Wow, and I was thinking of going to 9 psi............

FlyingDog

If he had just used 3.09s he could've created all the horsepower he needs without so much boost.

Well I suppose you can blow anything up if you try hard enough Why is the cam at the bottom, and the cylinders at the top?

FlyingDog

The cam is on the side. It's a pushrod engine. The cylinders have seperate liners which are attached at the top.

That's a classic "flathead" engine configuration. No moving parts in the head, the valve seats are in the block -- the valves move upward to open. You'll find the same configuration in a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine, unless yours is one of those newfangled Honda OHV motors.

Herr-Kuhn

Probably staged turbos on that thing. Some of the pullers run staged turbos in excess of 200 psig. It is insane, the compressor discharge temps after such compression are into the hundreds with an S! But, it only has to run for what 30 seconds?

GlenL

But only to 42mph!

Funny you should bring up the Briggs & Stratton design

I should be having a beer with the ol'doctor tomorrow.

SharkSkin

I guess the Doc isn't a big fan of Eaton/Autorotor setups.

Noone.....ever. Diesels take more boost than anything.
