New motor

[RO55]

Sounds great. Looking forward to seeing it all fitted.

 

Thanks fella

 

I will Video the start up and post it up ... Hope it dont blow up

 

Still a few little parts to source .. Iam gonna ask the company to weld / fill the silencer holes inside the charger just for that extra Whine ..

Ah well.

 

Found out the charger is a snake-bite conversion, internal overdrive spins the rotors faster. Means an extra 6lb of boost. Well that would have melted the engine down in no time with the 4lb lower.

 

So this 4lb lower ring is now NO GOOD!! FFS

Anyhow, the blower is currently being worked on. The rest of the parts will be here on the 14th.

We figure over 400 rear wheel or five n half hundred at the crank.

That's some serious transmission losses!!

That's some serious transmission losses!!

 

Some specific configurations can see a 30% total powertrain loss on these big trucks. Auto tranny and 3:73 rear gears ain't helping.
