The IDI done and in the truck

[typ4]

Well after much thrashing and many late nights the truck got done and made the trip to wisconsin and back with nothing more than an alternator problem, leece neville regulator found in lethbridge canada at an awesome auto electric shop. One burned fuse link because of my bad on a wire route, and running 220 degrees all the way under load. We grossed 15.600lbs including towing the wifes wrangler, now named the blue brick 3900 lbs. 4900 miles three qts oil and 10.4 mpg average.


It is ats turboed, intercooled and balanced, injectors set to turbo specs.

here is a link to some video we did this morning, the first noise is the ****** start up.
4.6 megs, enjoy, more info to follow on the mods.

I hope you at least let her get warm before a run like that sounds awsome looks good

that was really neat.
seems like it has alot of power.
Tho it seems like my truck has alot more acceleration between 45-65
with the sloppy c6 and a non-wastegated turbo 0-45mph takes entirely too long... for some reason, 45-65mph takes just a few seconds... *shrugs* (of course I don't know what that camper weights)

either way, I'm happy to find someone that lets the motor rev as high as I do, My truck runs up to 3300 pretty regular, with one run up to 3800rpms (which I'm not ever doing again without better valve springs). This engine makes a ton of power between 2500-3300, and most trucks with an overdrive never see it.

anyway a big thumbs up.

It was well warmed up for the run, with the camper on the truck weighs in at 9k, wife packs too much food .
As for the engine, here is the list. Standard bore and crank, had the cam ground with a little more lift and duration ,they wouldnt give me the specs but it works.
I coated the bearings and piston skirts and the rockers with the dry film graphite, and ceramic coated the piston tops, all done myself. Rods bored 8 thousandths shorter to help lower the comp. Balanced ,stock rods new stock head bolts.

Polished the ports, removed some of the ridge under the valve seats,exh for better flow. bronze valve guides made from some special german bronze by a guide company in Arizona.


The pyro ran 1100 on the hardest pull on our trip and 9 lbs of boost was the max I ever saw, I havent played with it yet but it has great power and I may not mess with it at all
Normal load 8 to 9 hundred on the pyro 5 lbs boost, plenty of power

The mufflre is from a super good guy on ebay that sells exh systems.It looks just like a dynomax, I laid them side by side and I bet they are made on the same machine. BTW I used powerstroke 97,98, ish intermediate and tail pipes, fit really well

 

[ericboutin]
