Compound pics

[andy2]

I just bought a digital camera and I'm not too familar with posting pics etc.. However here is a link containing some pics of my project

        www.msnusers.com/gtdforum/shoebox.msnw

I had to pull my head off due to a headgasket failure at 37 psi,I'm sure that my 12.9 grade capscrews were not tight enough though.I then found the cylinder damage that can be seen in the pics also.

Thanks for the pics! Looks nice and tight. I would have liked to see the compressor piping between two turbos but I can see what it'd look like anyway.

That sucks about the cylinder scoring. Any idea what might have caused it? Were your cylinders bored before, with overbore pistons installed?

[DVST8R]

That is sweet! :twisted:  Too bad about the cylinder damage though . Props on the fab as well that intake and downpipe, as well as the turbo setup is straight PIMP. Looks like it might be time for studs and some Edelbrock Gasket goo for the HG.

That's pretty cool. Very similar to the concepts I had for a compound setup, but that just goes to show how few fitment options there are for cramming 2 turbos back there. Good work though.

Looks nice.

That was a .5mm oversive Bore/pistons :cry:.We actually went a half thou
over spec for the bore already.I hope another half thou will clean up 90% of the damage.I could then just get new rings and slap it back together hopefully.I was running my EGT's a little past 1500 for a little too long  :twisted: .This occured when I was using a G meter to check 1/4 mile times which BTW with some traction problems in 1st and 2nd got 14.88@97mph :wink:.2700lbs+14.88=159hp I believe.

Hey Andy whats you oil feed/return detail like?

[fspGTD]

Thanks for the pics, Andy... very nice work indeed!  :twisted:

Sorry to hear about your wall scoring setback.  Did you eventually figure out how much to torque the 12.9 bolts?

man i like you pic...sorry about the block and piston damage..i was jsut going to post hight egts as the culprit ..scans down the thread and thats what you said too ha... piston swelling up  etc..when you mention rehoning and new rings..did you get to save th epsitons?..that looks like a lot of psiton scuffing to fix with scotchbrite and a razor?...i had to taek 3 engines apart to  build this last 1.6 TD as most of em were scuffed ..and other engine problems..but heck 1 from 3 isn't too bad ha...what head gasket are you running?..the 1.9L metal one? . it blow at 37psi huh?..let use know..as i know of at least 2 compound setups that will be running before the spring..mine and blakes hopefully... thanks

Pistons are all reuseable :wink:,Just need to rebore and get a set of rings.

The oil returns both go to the oil pan,and the supply is pretty neat.We put a 14mm thread where the 12mm thread was in the housing and used a 14mm banjo fitting for the bigger line then drilled and tapped 12mm ontop of the 14mm bolt for the smaller line :wink:.

If I'll stick with the capscrews I would torque them down to 110ft lbs they are rated for 118ft lbs max.

[935racer]

Any pics of the oil reurns? Where did oyu tap in for an extra oil feed? Are you happy with the k24 turbine and k14 compressor to the holset hx30? Were you worried about the k24 compressor not spooling quick enough? If you were going to do it over again would you change the turbos or positioning? And last of all does that turbo clear the rain tray? Sorry for all the questions that looks like a pretty fun setup :twisted:

[andy2]

I added some more pics for you guys.I like the way this setup works and I wouldn't change a thing it fits prefectly and as mentioned before has good firewall/raintray clearance.Theres a company "PDR" that makes 3 different sized twin setups for the 5.9 cummins as DVST8R probably knows.Anyways in comparison I would say my setup is medium in size.It could be done smaller or bigger than mine in reality depends what your HP goals are.If you want a very streetable daily driver my setup is perfect IMO.Bruce AKA QuickTD helped me size it up so he might take a guess on what psi this setup is good for,ID say probably 40-45.BTW The intercooler in the pic is from a 6L powerstroke,I may fab up some endtanks for it :twisted:.

[DVST8R]

Yup I know PDR, and there twin setup's well  :wink:, I think the ford intercooler with "proper" end tanks would be a sweet addition.
