DPC Round Two: Going for Broke

[powerstroked08]

Man this is coming along nicely. Keep up the good work guys! Just remember sleep is overratedLOLLOL

Actually no - the setups that are used to make these axles live in say the pulling classes where its a "one ton or less" rule and have high power are trussed not "top and/or bottom" like that - but go out the rear of the axle - think like a triangle welded to each side of the back of the rear tubes and then a cross brace (all thread is used often) that keeps the tubes "straight" when under power. I'll see if I have any pics.

So the cross brace is mounted horizontally in line with the axle? A bracket on each side like a triangle so the all thread can connect the two without hitting the diff cover?

Thanks for the tip, I will look into those. Something like what OUO makes?

That set-up would be legit for Papa Smurf........however, that does look heavy as hell

Thats it, Thanks bro!
And a weld or two to keep the pig from going skyward. Saw that happen in person once, not pretty.

Anthony welded the tubes to the carrier last year before the challenge, so that's covered at least

Well that is a lot simpler and priced pretty good too.

No room for the oil filter on top of the engine, so here's the new one^

Running as hard as this setup will, the crank case really needs to be able to breathe, even with gapless rings. Two 1" baffled vents will go to these venturis mounted in the exhaust, near the transfer case

I really like that filter relocation kit. But on the crankcase breather set up, is the exhaust pressure going to be a factor. What I mean is the exhaust pressure being greater than the crankcase pressure there for having a negative effect.

Bingo - except they get built beefier than that around here.

Even evacuating into ambient?

No I'm referring to it being vented into the exhaust via the venturi set up Wayne posted pictures of. I do not believe atmospheric ventilation is that great of an idea on the 6.4 due to the higher boost/crankcase pressures, I think it needs to have a draw on it like a venturi,turbo suction or vacuum pump set up. That being said though it would be cool to see Elite do a vacuum pump set up that vents to the atmosphere.

 

[jimdawg185]

I meant the exhaust evacuating into ambient, sorry. But I guess I can see your point, to a point.

as long as they each pull at least 1in of vacuum they should work perfectly. plenty of dmax guys have done it

I just have no experience with that set up, I understand the principle of it just wasn't sure if the exhaust pressure would over power the venturi effect and pressurize the crankcase.

 

[Erikclaw]

With the angle and the shape of the pipes it should create the needed venturi.

10-4, I was just curious. I can't wait to see this rig beat up the competition.

non emission trucks like mine came from the factory venting to atmosphere fwiw, most dmax trucks that do a ccv reroute dump to atmosphere

yes but I've seen a few that did like you guys are doing to Eriks truck

How are they connecting it...heater hose ?

Stainless hard line.









































LOL, probably heater hose
