Later
Randy

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

Are you going someplace and leaving HMT after every thread you post on Randy for the need to say "later". lol. :P Reminds me of that noob that kept on posting his whole name after every post.

I he gets some mean F&F style frame twisting action like Torreto's Challenger coming off the line? That's pretty sweet! Are you able to run a diesel setup with megasquirt or any other standalones or if he's just running the stock ecu?

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

im pretty sure the older cummins used mechanical injector timing.

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

lol thats interesting but cool :6

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

That'd be pretty sick. I'd love to see a video of it run.

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

:o :l :S i would like some more pics if you got some .

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

That's 1600lbs.
Who cares about the engine. Im more interested in the ------- frame. lmao!

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

It's strange to see that in there cause the same engine is in my dad's truck.

I always wondered what that engine would be like in a car....I can't even imagine. I wouldn't think it would be fast either...that truck is a ------- dog but it builds 15psi with the quickness.

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

:o Wow that is ------- bad ass :y Any more info on this car or a site hes on?

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

a few of my friends have those 12 valve in their trucks and they turn the pumps up and pinch the wastegates and some other mods like intake and exhaust and whala 500 hp and 1100 ft pounds

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

yeah they are pretty easy to make power with but im not sure how fast that could be

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

i have seen vids of a cummins powered ram running mid 11s, and ive personally been beaten by a trailered and heavily modified cummins in a ram, so the possibilities are there

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

If you'll notice he's not the only randy that does that. Iceracer does it to. if your names Randy and your writing some thing you put "Later Randy." at the end.

Re: Interesting Turbo Swap
 

that particular cummins is all mechanical. no computers. just more fuel and air. and pretty hard to blow up they wear out after like 300K and when you start makin a lot of power you just have to stud the head and seal it up better. but my friends are makin excess of 50+ psi on theirs.
