Yes you can mix and match rods.

Perfect. Now to get more stuff to measure stuff

How hard is it to port and polish these cylinder heads on your own, In your garage, with die grinders and what not? And would it be worth it

LEAVE ALONE . WE make 950+ on a stock head.

It was just a thought haha. I been watching engine masters on YouTube and it had me thinking about porting my heads lol

You cant even compare that to diesel heads. Especially 6.4 heads haha

So I'm thinking of going a different direction with my build. I'm thinking of keeping the compounds, I actually got my hands on a internally waste gated turbo off a Cummins QSX15. Measurements are 84mm compressor with a .69 AR and the exhaust is a 107mm with a 1.19 AR. My question is will this turbo be a good turbo to run for a low pressure charger? And if so what would be a good pairing for a high pressure turbo

yeah it could be decent at best , but it certainly would not be optimum. it will most likely be a cast wheel, slow spooling , journal bearing charger with a massive turbine wheel. if used with a vgt high pressure it could be okay at best. cummins designed turbo's use WAY bigger turbine sizes than any V8 common rail diesel in a light duty pickup. there's a reason most big twin kits stick to much smaller turbine wheels , and the crap head flow of a 6.4 only expose those issues more. i , personally , even not knowing the EXACT basics of that turbo , i wouldn't ever put it on a 6.4 , or even a 6.7 with much better headflow.

Alrighty thanks for the insight. What about for a third turbo?

 

[Stroked777]

Well I’m still alive. Hopefully starting the build in April this year. I took a different position at work as a truck driver/rigger/crane operator in training, so I’ll be working on it as much as possible as I work mostly on the road.

Well I got a bunch of parts and went a different direction from when I first started this idea. Got everything from Kill Devil Diesel and went with Wagler rods, KDD .020 coated pistons, new KDD heads and just going to keep stock power level for now that I have a baby on the way!
