Any advice on how to pull the old transmission shaft BEARING out?
Dave@DDMWorks My buddy!
Any recommended engine lift points, from the PRO?
It’s a little easier to get to the starter, when the intake manifold is off
My buddies,
Anyone know if I can loosen this clamp to rotate the orientation of the intake to exhaust position?
The reason I ask is because the Intake to Aftercooler silicone coupler is about 1/8" from my Headers.
Never had turbo issues 🤞
Went to install the new Track Clutch and found this.
As the oil line is tightened during connection, the line twists. It probably lookEd like a slight spiral, which eventually turned into a knot...
When you put 3,000 miles on your new turbo and you look down to see this....
Mod of the day... adding oil pressure to my turbo! Lol 🤦♂️
Dave@DDMWorks and All,
Trying to install a DDM Track Clutch...
Anybody know the torque specs for the Clutch Housing and for the Flywheel?
As a personal preference, I would like a blanket made for my exact turbo. That said this looks like a generic PTP turbo blanket... but I may be wrong.
Dave has the right idea about the phone call.
Dave@DDMWorks and All,
Which of these turbo blankets is the right fit for the DDM Stage 3 BorgWarner Turbo?
Thank you for the support!
If you can find someone that wants to put a built motor in a sling, then it could be a win win for you and the buyer...
Thank you wokka!
Appreciate the advice!
I’m still new to the forum realm... lol
I was planning to make a Trike from scratch because Kit Cars (4 wheels) were illegal in Texas. This was before DF Kit Cars pushed Texas legislation to get Kit cars legal in Texas again 🤦♂️
Then I saw this image on google for the Polaris slingshot and said, “that will save me some time!”
this was me coming home from the dealer...
This was my ride the next day... lol
last year it had about 1,000hp hybrid gas/electric drive train. But I did not like putting $14,000 electronics in the rain. And it was a dangerous bomb 1/2 Mega Watt, sparking DC motor next to gas tank.
Those black hoses are 4/0 diesel locomotive wire! Lol
Figured I’d put this on before moving up from a 2.5” intake piping to a bigger 3-4” piping and intercooler...
Thank you for response I really appreciate y’all’s knowledge and expertise.
Im picking up everything you are laying down.
I also reread your previous posts several times to collect the golden nuggets of information. Lol
I have the track clutch, Chevy Camaro limited slip differential, two big rear end drag radials in shipping. The 4 wheel kit has a 7” shorter wheel base and I’m going to move the radiator and other equipment to the rear for more traction.
Do you know any approximations of the air intake temps at 15psi vs 24psi boost?
rabtech Ghost MACAWS Dave@DDMWorks and everyone
Has anyone measured the air intake manifold temperatures (AIT) of any of the turbo kits?
I’m trying to get estimates of what temperatures are entering the cylinders between 15-24 psig boost levels. 15psig AIT I believe is a general safe area of boost pressure for preventing unwanted detonation. I’m wondering about what the AIT is around 24 psig boost to see how much the air temp is contributing to auto ignition.
Fuel Auto Ignition Temps
Cylinder Temperature Increase from Compression
CO2 Aftercooler Cooling
Water Spray Aftercooler Cooling
I don’t remember if I used a blinker relay or a regular relay 🤔
Those are aftermarket Jeep Wrangler tail lights...
