Old hot pipe and the new hot pipe...

what is the pinning procedure that you're waiting for from fluidampr? They are only a few miles away from me

They were concerned about the rpm that this engine will see, and said it should be pinned to the crank if spinning over 3500 RPM.

 

[strokin6L]

gotcha. So they are now actually doing something about the fluidampr being the cause of blown LPOP gears when installed like many have been through?

 

[Extended Power]

I don't think so...the only pin kit they offer is for the Cummins fellas.
And the only time they suggest it for them is when they rev higher then 3500.

Honestly I'd stick with the stock one or the ati

Ivan where did you get that plastic intake tube from?

Has anyone proven the ATI damper to be safe for the LPOP gears??

 

[Redneck6.0L]

I got one on mu dually. Testing it out on there before it goes on the race truck lol

 

[windrunner408]

Sweet! How long do the LPOP gears typically last with the fluidampr? Do they get destroyed pretty quick? I know Chris (strokin6L) has one on his truck.

How long do you want to run it on the dually?

What are you referring to?

 

[Extended Power]

Well, the engine is in...
Grabbed the Diverter valve to put it on and it's seized up...awesome.:fustrate:

May just have to go with something else yet...

The one on the fourth pic... I need a 5.5 intake tube

i say just get rid of it, this isnt the first time its seized on you right?

that secondary wont even need the valve

 

[strokin6L]

ive heard of a few guys having issues with them already seizing up. Dont think i'd ever use one.

 

[Extended Power]

It's too much heat for the bushings I think.
Took it all apart, cleaned it all up...still tighter then it should be. Sure glad I decided to test the opening pressure again...
Wonder if the RCD adaptor flange is the same size?
I might just remove the flapper valve and weld the holes shut on the top and bottom.

It's not plastic...it's a rubber 90* elbow from Racepartsolutions.

[smokinstroker]

ivan you can get a cheap adapter flange from BD.

Yes, it's the first time it's seized on me.
I had a bugger of a time trying to keep the hose from blowing off before.

One without the Diverter valve?

 

[smokinstroker]

yessir, im almost 100% positive its from BD. its just a t3 to up pipe adapter.

you wont like the industrial adapter so don't go that route.
