It's 3/8. I thought that was -6.
600hp was fun but boring. Going bigger!

yea 3/8 is a 6-an.. you need a 90* angle one right with 3/8 in and 3/8 out??
is there a tractor dealership close to you?? They might have a good one.

I'll upload pics later.
Hopefully my new tuning will fix most of the issues.

Go to an AG equipment dealer - most of them have fittings and hoses rated at 5Kpsi operating, 15Kpsi burst - and you can't tell me you don't have them around. My local Deere dealer pretty much made every hose on the top of my race motor. Oh - and I never ran that balance tube - 4 line output with a cross over hose.

I think I'll just go with a 4 port and crossover as well. I have the extral lines and fittings.

I just moved the ICP sensor to a different hole and just extended the wires..
Being in the hoser business, most adapters in the hydraulic world are forged and come with 'ANIHC certification'. The males are typically are good. The issue is the shatty female swaged swivel nut on the adapter. Try to plumb your swivels on the hose coupling end. Go to a Gates distributor and tell them you want the -6 fitting with the full back nut. It has full hex machined nut-- will impulse at 5000 all day long and spike higher.

I'll check John Deere today. Ditch witch, AGCO, Furley Coop, Kubota, and Roberts truck center all only had either straight fittings or a different size.
Why couldn't I run a line from each pump to each head. I wouldn't need a crossover line would I? The oil rail would balance the pumps wouldn't it?
Anybody ever seen the water pump leak for a minute and then quit? Mine leaked a gallon and then quit. Hasn't done it since. Any input on that? I've never seen that one before.

Technically no - you wouldn't need a crossover.
Are you still running the check valves in the pump outlets?

I... don't... think so. I have some checks in a drawer in the shop I can toss in if I need to.

Yes. My dads did that after I swapped the SD front cover and water pump onto his obs motor. Started leaking like a siv so he bought a new one to install. Then it just quit. That was over 2 years ago and hasn't leaked since.
The only thing I can think if is the water pump had been sitting, not used, for a year or more.

Yeah but this one has been used and was running before it was leaking. Crazy. I'll watch it and see what happens.

If it leaked out the weep hole, the bearing got washed. I would plan on replacing the pump soon.

I have a few good pumps. I'll toss one one.
OK so here's my TO DO list to get done by the season opener at the track next weekend.
Wastegate
Change hpop to 4port feed
Replace water pump
New chip/tunes
Fill N2O bottle
Have BTS go through the trans (won't get done)
Weld the bungs into the intercooler pipe for the nitrous and water meth
Hot retorque the studs
Reseal the fluidamper
Should be a good couple hours worth of work. LOL
