All you turbo heads in here are killing me, the 5.9 is a engine, not a motor. A motor is electric...

I would sink that money into the engine/transmission. You may get this working and then shread the lower end soon after. Start with the engine and work your way up. Build the engine for boost and add a Supercharger.

 

mo·tor/ˈmōtər/

Noun:A machine, esp. one powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device...
Adjective:Giving, imparting, or producing motion or action.
Verb:Travel in a motor vehicle, typically a car or a boat.

 

i'm betting, hahns was right about this kid lol his last post on this subject was in May.

 

In UK a "Motor" is often used to describe a "Motor car" which of course is driven by an "Engine". Generally engineers here use the word "Engine" to refer to a reciprocating [Internal Combustion or Steam] Engine and "Motor" is generally used for rotating power sources such as electric.

 

We are all predominately in the US here.... oddly enough.

We also aren't real sticklers for having the 'correct' term... so long as folks can get their point across, that's all that really matters.

 

It cracks me up to read that, it's a ENGINE damn it!

All kidding aside, how much boost did you achieve with your project or is there a lazy link to your project so I can read it Hahns? Sounds like an interesting read, I have only ever built NA engines.

 

I am with you there, just messing around with a few of you.

 

I think Hahn's had a dyno thread in the general discussion forum.......

 

Most of my build is here http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/th...bo-megasquirt/

I ran 5-8lbs on the old setup for 36k miles, I pulled the motor out at 140k about a month ago for a head swap and to fix some leaks for the new front mount setup, the cam was toast so I ended up rebuilding the whole thing. Truck is back together and runs great, definitely more power at the same boost, new setup still has the same boost threshold and spools even faster. It will be getting set at 10lbs probably today, my last gate adjustment a couple days ago made like 11-12psi so I backed it off and went too far and it's at 8.5PSI right now, so I'll mess with it again.

And here's some pics.

This is the log manifold, it's fed from the other bank into the rear via a crossover pipe.



Ignore the rat's nest, I'm installing MS3X next weekend and rewiring it.

 

Good pics! I had been wondering how that new setup was plumbed, and how it turned out. So jealous right now...
