costs

Post by heathgu »

Hey guys, not sure on exact cost.

You would be looking $20-25 depending on what Duramax and trans you used.

Cheers Heath

That is possibly the funniest thing I have read on outers ..

Its funny because despite the weight your times are realistic ..

We have a drag et calculator on our dyno. With your weight and horsepower , you should do a 12.94 1/4 mile with 105 mph trap speed.

Lets see how good it is.


Good luck with it.




Now everyone wants a duramax :)

Hydro boost

Post by Gaz69 »

Heath,
Good work there mate and good to see you got it running. What did you do to get vacuum for your brakes. Did you throw on another alternator with an vac pump on that? I know the earlier LB7 had vac pumps but the LBZ certainly dont and hydroboost is not very popular in OZ vehicles. You must be pretty stoked to have it going now?

Good to see a diesel taking on drag racing.
Most people don't see the potential diesels have.

Calculator's mean nothing in my book.
Depending on suspension/tyre's/tyre size/trans ratio/track condition/style or type of launch etc etc.....

But my guess would be 13.7 105mph

is that the engine radiator behind the passenger door?

and if so why did you leave the engine fan on and not use thermofans for the intercooler? is there a shroud to be installed over it?

I've found the calculators to be spot on for power if looking at the mph, it may mph a bit higher with excessive tyre spin, and if the 60 foot is slow it won't make the times but the drag calculator is pretty good in my books if the vehicle weight is right I'm betting Dzltec has it right.

Cheers

Joel

Let me know when you go, we are getting our trucks ready for a day out, my Gen3 turbo is good for similar power at the wheels 325 kW is 435 Hp. and when the clutch arrives we have a 4.5 turbo that killed a clutch at 1590 Nm at 2200 rpm in 4th on 37 inch tyres with 19 psi boost, and then the lugs flew off the tyres.
Bring on the twin plate clutch.

Hi Joel, thanks for the back up. To those who dont know, there is a Moroso calculator out there that when you input two known amounts you can determine the 3rd. Its not 100%, but is very close.

I might have to get my shorty finished and come down to calder with you Joel. Im interested in drag racing as well. I wish I could get this engine to hold together.

If its making 450hp the torque well be huge compaired to a petrol with same hp,I'd say it be in the mid 12's round 108-110mph with a few tweeks.
