What is this engine set at? 500hp?
Hey Ken how long did it take you to make all of those changes? I enjoy work like this, you can tell how much thought you put into everything.....excellant work!!!!
Really nice work, Ken. I'm staring right down both barrels of having to install an engine in a bus not designed for it, so I'm *very* interested in the issues you had to deal with and how you overcame any problems.
Ken I may not be able to drift and spin the tires with him but a can put out black smoke with the best of them.uncle nedhave a good day. headed down to the sandlaper this weekend. come on down.
(snip) Have you considered transplanting the complete drive train from a transit bus with a "V" drive? You have a lot of work ahead of you anyway, with a transit bus drive train parts might be easier to find.

When I'm finished tuning it I'll get it dynoed for an accurate HP / Torque number. Here is a link to what I shooting for.SIZE MATTERS - Semi Truck Drift Gymkhana FeatureQuote from: muddog16 on March 01, 2012, 06:49:20 AMHey Ken how long did it take you to make all of those changes?

Cole runs his 14L series 60 in his Eagle at 650 hp and can change the HP on the go from the drivers seat his economy mode is 550 hp good luck
Cole runs marine pistons in his 14L,different turbo, different cams, different rods, a lot of different things he uses a marine ECM programmed with Jakes and cruise he knows how to get it done he was VP of Stewart and Stevenson

I just wanted everyone who is interested in this subject to know that you can't always get an extra 100 or 200 HP increase with just a program change. Ken
