well the rat rod broke the dyno today! snapped the rollers shaft clean off the instant we 'ghetto fogged' it. also popped the head gasket pretty good right out the front. made a weak 611hp on the 'fuel only' run before, and never gave a reading of the carnage run. too bad because i bet that...

looking for a set of 5x.020 or 5x.022 12v cummins injectors. going in a 2nd gen 12v that has 1st gen pistons with opened up bowls. PM me. thanks

so as im in the process of replacing pistons in my rat rods 12v and as usual, while its apart and in pieces, i figure i might as well modify things more. while looking at the crappy factory intake i found a few placed i could cut away to get some better volume and flow. took the plasma cutter...

while i have the head on my diesel rat rod due to a broken top ring land, i figured i might as well cut my factory bowls bigger. im lazy and cheap so im doing it in frame while thy are still in the block. i assume i broke it because fuel was spraying outside the bowl due to my increased...

i have an HX-40 / HT3B twin set up. up until tonight i have had the HX-40 ungated (gate held shut). ive boosted up to 94psi that i have seen but im sure it can do more (not that i need it to....) anyways, my issue is that with that kind of boost and an ungated smaller turbo, i believe the large...

ive creeped here a bit and its cool to see other peoples random diesel Frankensteins. i thought id share mine with some specs and pictures.... because everyone likes pictures. its a constant work in progress like any build. -the body is a 1927 ford coupe chopped 7.5" with suicide doors -the...
