Since it was in the 90s, 40 years after NHRA started their 1st 300 happened. How long will it be before the diesel powered rig will roll on past 300? if it happens. It may just entail more exotic diesel engine designs. :drive:

Hello all, I was told Destroked? has the ability to manufacture some racing crankshafts, I am not sure if he frequents the forum or not. If any could help me in a direction that would be much appreciated so I can find a place to purchase a lighter rotating mass for the planned engine build of...

We have any tire companies jumpin into diesel powered drags yet? We just may have the tire wars that existed many moons ago?

Well, for everyone waiting to see Greg's dragster. Like myself here it is and being said he will apparently be running. In my opinion this step is a good step, the direction in which paints a good perspective on diesel racing/motorsports. http://dragstory.com/ws/?p=21049 Lets see some good...

Ok, all of you turbo gurus I am here to ask a few questions, mainly to understand breakage on over speeding, wheel breakage due to fatigue and whatever else. Stock wheels verse aftermarkets who handles fatigue better? I have been told in some apps stock will outlast aftermarket. Big or small...

So being a complete newby to turbine style superchargers, I would like some help on identifying different makes and whatever else should be looked at when buying not just a new one but a used good charger as well. Bolt patterns change, housings can be different etc etc. If anyone would care...

For any of you who follow Engine Master's, I havent bought one of their issues for quite a while, thinking about a thread I am currently involved in gave me an idea. For all you big shops as well as you little guys, all makes, I post this idea for the diesel community not just to see who has...

So its been said that the smoother you hone your wall surface, you increase your surface area,the more surface area you retain less oil to lubricate and in turn, ring tension must be set. Not sure how many pay attention to how far they open the rings up when installing on the pistons but the...

Have been thinking of the fuels between pump fuel and aftermarket performance fuels. How many filters are being run in the 'pre-fill' fuel filtering on applications concerning motorsports? What style of filter media are most common?

Seeing quite a bit of builds on the forum with mono-therms and middle of the road, others just utilizing factory pistons, brings a question or two and many thoughts. Since the heat becomes more and more through enlarging plunger bores, extending injection periods or as simple as using a fuel...

Being that we need to get as much in and just as much out of the cylinder, I am thinking we need to achieve the proper flow ratio between the intake and exhaust. David Vizard states a minimum 0.90:1 ratio can be used with success :pop: Any thoughts?

After researching and picking the brains of those most knowledgable in fuels, one guy had mentioned to me matching the swirl (turbulence if you like) to our injector nozzle orifice count should help produce a more complete burn. Since we have only really struck bowl design and injection...

Has anyone seen any problems with block head etc castings and building high output mills regardless of make?

Seeing some interested in combustion, and ENafziger had posted some juicey details. To anyone new to combustion, things will get deep in technical most likely. Everything involved will probably be talked about from chamber surfaces to thermal dynamics etc, I am certainly looking forward to what...
