C18, Cyclone machine ductile iron liners with C rings. 2-HX82's that were SmokingCat's idea so it's his fault if they don't work. It's basically snowballed into a giant hole I've shoveled money in since November. It should move under its own power tomorrow. Then it's off to get deckplate bent and a few stainless panels. Then hopefully it can hook to a trailer and get the piss ran out of it.
Lots of potential bugs with a complete truck build. Stripped down and frame blasted and painted, hood repaint, new exhaust, front and rear bumpers, Hoge radius fenders, engine swap with everything Cummins related burned at the stake. New aluminum 5th wheel, complete drum to disk brake swap. There are very few parts on this truck that you could order off the VIN anymore.
Not to mention lots of shiny stuff.

If you would have hoarded those internal parts any longer I was thinking we were gonna have to get you on that TV show.
Because that is one of the few materials that will stand up to having a groove cut into it for a stainless fire ring.
Are you thinning down the fire ring or keeping it the same thickness? Standard or dykes? I'm not even sure a dykes ring can be used on a diesel.
Not sure what your asking. The stock fire ring is cut from the OEM headgasket and the liners have groove cut for spring loaded sealing rings. Can't do this to stock liners because the flanges will crack. The question is if these will work in a road truck since the liners are potentially harder than the piston rings, time will tell.
Just because I'm ignorant, what application would ductile iron liners be used?

Here's ye olde clunker
02 t800 powered by a bk60 12.7. Alpine green forever!
I've always wondered if it's worth or even possible to upgrade to the newer style monotherm one piece pistons.
Anyways it has an 8309 cam, 7650 injectors (might upgrade to 5915 or 7014).171701 borg warner with the 71mm inducer. I find it works better than the 75mm inducer, matches the operating range (1500 to 1700) of the motor and spools up faster than the larger turbo that everyone seems to use.
Leon smith tuned it but I took out fuel when I went to the smaller turbo. I also tightened the smoke maps some as I don't need as much to spool.
Has anyone here played with water methanol injection? I've looked in the software and have figured out a good way to have the ecm control everything.
I would rather have monotherm Pistons than mess with water/meth. Water is just a crutch for alum skirts.

The problem with going with a bigger turbo is its less efficient cruising on flat ground. Plus it sucks spooling when it's hot out. That's why I went from 75mm to 71mm. This current turbo works great most of the year. Also with the 75mm I had high egts just cruising on flat ground when it was hot out. I will have to check my notes but 800 sounds right.
I'm also thinking of doing a vnt. Not the egr 60 series ones though.
