    I am at a loss

    Certainly sounds like a PMD. You can try taking it off the heatsink, pop the covers off in the middle of the metal heatsink part, and tighten the transistor nuts a little bit. Sometimes they get loose and tightening them will work for a while longer. Otherwise you may have an intermittent...

    Center mount turbo

    I was not arguiing with you, only providing documented information and real world experience. Since what you said was only that I was incorrect with no explanation, I explained what the information meant, how it actually works from program to tranny. Other people may be interested in that...

    Center mount turbo

    You did explain multiple times now that line pressure of 56psi line pressure is false, and its not correct, I grant you that, but you never explained the difference between commanded and actual pressure and what the 56psi commanded means. I can also say with confidence, that there is a good...

    Center mount turbo

    If you knew it, you certainly didn't explain it. So thats why I explained it, and not just for you. Each amperage to the PCS has a wide range of pressures. Just because one that youve seen has high pressure at 60 or 70, the next one might not be as high. The acceptable range is also given...

    Why Are Fluid Dampers / Harmonic Balancers Not Good for Balancing the Crank?

    The fluidampers are designed to work with stock rotating assemblies. So if you go up in power using stock pistons, cranks, rods, pulley, flywheel, ect... then it should be good to use. If you are going up in power and using lighter pistons and rods or different mass crankshaft then it probably...

    Center mount turbo

    The 56 is a "torque signal pressure" to the tranny PCS, its what GM commands at full throttle, except when shifting. As documented in the tranny manual, a 90 torque signal pressure is basically 0 amps to the PCS, which gives you the max pressure, ~170psi. Its not exactly linear from 0-90, but...

    How to build a motor for top end power ?

    When you or someone else posts specs of a stock cam that came from GM or a degree wheel to compare then we will know if the specs wrong. And not until then, so sorry if youre getting confused by it. Its a set of data, from a stock cam, from a degree wheel. Post what you got.

    How to build a motor for top end power ?

    CIL6's numbers were taken at .05" lobe lift, thats the industry standard. And I know the lift is the same, as I already pointed out that discrepency. The numbers aren't perfect, but it can provide a basis for comparison until another set on a stock cam is posted, either from a degree wheel or...

    Install of A-Team turbo& Intercooler complete

    For a similar universal compact intercooler that would meet the 6.5 flow demand you can pick one up like this one "Yonaka Front Mount Intercooler Type 6 (18x 9x 2.5") YMIC006" rated to 500cfm and could cram it under a scoop.

    How to build a motor for top end power ?

    Those specs were measured on a degree wheel by CIL6. And I do not believe that SSDS is selling stock cams. When another set of specs measured on a degree wheel of a stock cam are posted we can compare them.

    BD Quick Spool Valve Install with Pics

    Suburbank has a very nice setup. His speedometer is also off quite a bit, at least 10kph at those speeds, so youll have to take that into accout. I only know that from other conversations. His 0-60mph time is likely almost 12 seconds in reality, still very quick for a stock chip and if its...

    4L80E TCC Unlocking defies logic

    If you get the chance, I would check what the warm idle fuel rate is, as it may not be a totally worn IP, but a miscalibrated one. If the idle fuel rate is below 5mm^3, or cycling to 0 at all then you may just need to bump the OS towards the drivers side a tad. I have seen a few fresh IP...

    How to build a motor for top end power ?

    CIL6 had degree'd a stock cam a few years ago, and his results are below. Some of the values are a little off I'm sure, since the valve lift is very low on the exhaust. I'm sure that getting these numbers perfect is pretty hard, but how close is a degree wheel typically? Having the same person...

    BD Quick Spool Valve Install with Pics

    It could be you are one of the few that had a terrible GM turbo. The turbo is incapable of moving more air at less pressure unless youre talking mass and the IATs are somehow lower in the first few seconds of acceleration. Its good that it works that well for you. One of the benefits of any...

    Pre-loaded is completely different from off idle. 6.5L stated his boost now comes up at 1600rpm vice 2000rpm and has cleared up about all of the smoke.. That is a reduction in the time it takes to spool the turbo, and is comparable to my experience with the ATT as well. Its especially...

    4L80E TCC Unlocking defies logic

    The TCC should be unlocking when you release your foot from the pedal. Are you having to actually use the pedal to keep speed going downhill? Seems like a steep grade should not need any pedal but the brake and the TCC should stay unlocked. The issue here may be, why do you have to use any...

    6.5L brought his lag down to 1600rpm with this valve, is there something wrong with his truck?

    BD Quick Spool Valve Install with Pics

    Thats a good way to reduce the lag, especially for the high altitude driving. For the price it would be great if it came with an electric actuator that could be controlled to pop open under low load where you dont need boost. That was the main concern before, possibly losing the MPG improvement...

    How to build a motor for top end power ?

    The later you close the intake youd be lowering compression, but you'd probably be fine out to 25 degrees or so if you need the duration for lift, that "dynamic CR" is something I have in my CR calculator for changing intake closure. I think SSDS' 65 degree overlap is at advertised duration...
