I am prepared to let this engine eat as much fuel as it wants. I am looking forward to it. I have a credit card with unlimited cash available. I am spending my daughter's inheritance so I really don't care how much it costs. She will never know :ROFLMAO: .
I have a priming tool that fits into the vacuum pump hole and is powered off a drill. You are welcome to borrow it. It will flood the bearing surfaces with engine oil prior to start up.
Yeah I had the same thought about stacking 2 electric pumps together. But then I decided to install the passenger side tank and had the idea of having an electric pump for each tank, controlled by a manual valve and power switch for the pumps. This design will provide redundancy so if one pump...
Gimp - I currently have a new GEP HMMWV fuel lift pump on the engine. However the issue has been raised that the stock pump may not provide adequate fuel for 250-300 hp. I have not been able to find any information regarding the stock pump's flow rate. I actually thought about leaving the...
I am producing a cardboard mock-up now of the size and position if the snout. It appears that the throttle bracket will just-barely clear. If necessary I can easily modify the bracket ro provide clearance for the snout.
Keith, I will attempt to respond to your comments. Unlike a turbocharger, a supercharger will provide absolute inverse reactive power, similar to a unilateral phase detractor or a turbo encabulator, while at the same time being capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grameters of the...
DB2-4811 mechanical pump built by Huckstorf Diesel in Wisconsin. 31 mm plunger and rotary head. Calibrated to 250 hp with capability to up-screw based on engine requirements of the supercharger. No computer. To my knowledge, there has never been a supercharger installed on a P400 engine, so all...
John at Hillbilly Wizard probably has as many as you need. If not I may have an extra one in my spare parts bin you are welcome to. I’ll check when I get to my shop in the morning.
Yes. I had already mounted a new Sanden AC compressor prior to discovering the Bullet supercharger. I had set up the compressor to be driven from a custom crankshaft pulley and V-belt. Now that I am going with the supercharger, I will need to change the pulley on the Sanden to a 6-rib belt to...
Hey Gimp - where you been man? Good to hear from you.
I will not answer your first question because it would probably start a firestorm of debate which I have no desire to engage. Your second question, no I didn’t change the compression ratio because there is no need to with this P400. I uh...
I’ve got a brand new gear reduction unit sitting in my parts bin. Bought it years ago thinking I would use it someday on a super 6.5. However when I began assembling my new P400, I had an original CUCV starter rebuilt to the tune of $240. It’s now hanging beside the P400 girdle ready to spin the...
