    Velocity Stacks and Science

    Stumbled across a couple interesting reels by a Dub shop testing 3d printed velocity stacks on small CI non-turbo applications. First noticed his cool new Twist concept. Then I went back a couple videos to find what he's actually attempting to resolve. Making air spiral down the tube, and remove...

    LML VATS - 10 Years Still On

    I was ask the other day about a standalone bin with VATS disable on the LML. To which I replied, "you can't disable VATS on a the LML?" Guess my LML work ended with the block and oil pump mods.. lol So I do some reading, see that 10yrs on nobody has solved it in the bin. And when saw the...

    2019 Turbo Actuator Going Rogue

    I've heard this is not uncommon, so what's the deal with the L5P turbo actuator waking up at odd hours for no reason, thus draining the batteries? A quick search, and think I see possible link to a corrosion in the NOX modules connectors. But not familiar with that actuator, guessing it's CANbus...

    Interesting Finds At PRI 2024

    Had a great time at PRI this year. Always a good spot to meet up with old friends from around the country. Plenty of cool diesel tech, and even a few Duramax advancements caught my eye. Would like to hear more about these rockers and bridges if anyone has data. Please feel free to share...

    LB7 Fuel System Issues - Wagers?

    Ok so my buddy picks up a FB special, 03 dually, mostly stock besides a lift, with 280k miles down in FL last week. Then 2 days later, hooks up to his 5th wheel camper and heads to Ohio. Truck did great, until about the I95/I26 split in SC when it limped for Low Fuel Pressure. I've never been...

    A50 TCM Inspection

    Powered up this TCM on the bench. I don't know the history. Has no codes, so left it powered up for an hour, monitoring the raw canbus data for anything unusual. Seems functional. What else can I check before tossing it up for sale? Stick it in an oven? And what's the deal with this funky VIN...

    L5P Weakest Links

    Had a customer hit me up recently about possibly marinizing an L5P. Looking for a solid 750hp setup for use in a lightweight pleasure craft. After considering the cost of bullet proofing a LBZ/LMM to hold 800hp for 1000hrs, I had to consider that maybe it's time to finally test waters with the...

    L5P - ECM Swapping Options

    I'm gonna toss this here since it's currently a technical study. But hopefully this helps with stand alone and engine swaps going forward. So please add anything of value along those lines. Last year I had the change to check out some "stand alone" L5P's being controlled by E35 ECM's. When GM...

    FLIR / Thermal Imager

    Played with one of these Snap-On thermal imaging units a year ago, and fell in love with it. So kept watching eBay for a good deal, and picked up one used for under $400 last week. Several affordable FLIR camera styles on the market now, some that just connect to a cell phone. And for under...

    Cold start tuning for big injectors without glow plugs

    Need some advice with cold starts / no glow plug setup tuning tips. Getting these puppies to fire up in a 50-60 deg shop first time is a real pain. With the 200% over sticks, I've finally got them firing up and holding a good idle on first try once they have a little heat in em. But when...

    LMM (NQG) Tune VS Standard

    As most of you know I prefer the E35B over the E35A ECM for stand alone swaps. And I thought I knew it pretty well, until I started looking to assign some normally unused signal lines for other uses. That's when I stumbled onto a pinnout difference between two build version under the same LMM...

    Mechanical Oil Pressure Adapter

    Purchased one of these while back, then spent an hour searching for the part # again. So posting it here. If you have an LML blocks, then your aware the oil pressure sensor and block thread is different from previous models. In my applications I run LMM wiring, with LMM oil pressure sensor in...

    Crank / Cam Signal Emulator

    Built this cool little Arduino project I found online a while back to generate E38 ECU data. https://www.facebook.com/ardustim/ It basically allows you to generate a matching 5v crank and cam PWM signal of any common wheel types. It has a couple 60-2 crank wheel options like modern LS built...

    500HP Marine on Danville Dyno

    Big shout out to Mark, Dave, Larry, and rest of the crew over at Danville Performance for a great past Friday on their engine dyno. Needed an exact HP@RPM figure on a customers marinized Duramax to supply his jet pump manufacture. Engine is setup for higher RPM longevity, and nowhere near...

    Digital MAF Scaling

    Working on a way to run dual digital MAF units on a E35B. Basically taking two MAF sensor signals and combine those values into a single output with a total fed to ECM. To do this, I plan to use the new style [and cheaper] GM 15865791 MAF. Some guys over on a Corvette Forum thread mapped out...

    -6AN Turbo Supply Mod

    Since I'm on a AN kick this week, decided to post this on up for review. Needed 2 turbo supply lines off block. Rather than pull off the oiling main ports with 4AN lines, I just modified the PPE remote filter adapters. Welded a -6AN bung to it, now not robbing a main bearing supply. Wasn't...
