Thread: The new Because Racecar/DD setup...6265, sidewinder, and more!

Yeah, i love the way they sound. It sounds like a semi or big turbo cummins just sitting there driving. I absolutely love it. Its loud with open downpipe. Yeah id say at the 14psi by the way it was pulling its very similar to how my old det 60 trim turbo pulled on 24 psi which was 461whp but a little stronger, so maybe closer to 475-500whp i would imagine. I think it will hit the 700whp by about 32-34psi, maybe less. We will see.

I had a little freak mishap and had to pull the pans back off the motor. The #2 rod bearing looks like it didnt seat right and over crushed causing the bearing to bulge at the bottom and spin. The tabs didnt even break which leads me to believe it wasnt seated right. It chewed up the layers of the bearing but it was still all in one shell, just spun and out of place. It didnt do any damage to the crank and rod. They cleaned up like new. I caught it when it was just a very very light tap from the bottom end that started at 3k rpm.

As of right now 14psi was showing 68% duty cycle on the ID1000's. Which is right on line with about 475-500whp Not bad.

Yeah the autometer gauge is an oil pressure gauge. When the oil is still not fully warmed up, im seeing over 100psi by 4k, 75psi by 2500. When fully warmed up, 80psi by 4k and about 50psi by 2500.

Whoa good save man, that could have been verrrrrrrrry bad.

And that video makes me excited in the pants.

Yeah, it could have been. I know im a little hard on my motors right off the bat but hey, its what I built the thing for...to perform....not to sit there and baby. This is something ive never seen happen ever in all the motors ive built and assembled. But no harm done. I took out the #3 and it was still immaculate so definitely something that happened on install. Just gonna throw in a new complete set of bearings and throw the pans back on. Ill probably drive it easy for a while on some thin conventional oil to make sure everything is as it should and to help the rings seat a bit more. Getting more blow by than id like to see but most of that is due to the large ring gaps im running.

what kind of catch can setup are you running? how is it plumbed.... still got the pcv connected to your intake?

running a -8 hardline to catch can from the factory pcv and breather location. Breather from the block goes to the head like normal on the front of the motor. Both feed to a catch can and are vented through a filter. Ill take some more detailed pics later of everything.

Yikes!! Good catch indeed!

Did you install that little baffle that bolts inside the block under the breather pipe? I had a guy come to me once with a lot of blow by and that piece was missing.

yes, all the baffles are there. Although i dont see how that would reduce blowby though lol. The blowby is strictly exhaust gases getting past the rings and since mine is open vented with no pcv its pretty significant. Nothing I cant live with but gonna see if i can get the rings to wear in a bit better with some thinner oil and easy driving low rpm heavy load and heat cycles. Then change it back out to the brad penn 20w50 oil.
