Quick question: Out of curiousity what is the most HP or torque that you quy's have heard of someone getting out of a 6.5L TD? Are any of you guys over 350HP, or is that just way off the radar? Not that I'm planning a huge buildup or anything. I just haven't heard anything other than the factory rated 190HP. Thanks for any input :D
Keeping it cooled down....
VERY big issue. Problem is, most folks try big mods with stock cooling, then complain about that POS so and so.... Keep temps under control and you can get away with just about anything. It's always been that way. "Marine" parts generally do mean more power, but the designers assume your cooling system is measured in acre/feet, or square miles, not gallons or liters.Quote:

Compression ratios and heat come hand in hand.
True very true :)Quote:

I saw where he plumbed the h2o injection. I did not see a thermostat in his coolant crossover pipe. I would venture to guess that his setup is making around 700hp and 1400 ft/lb of trq. From the sound of his run, I believe he is spinning well past 3200 rpms. Probably 5000 rpm or more.
The ultimate power display from a 6.5L. I want one too.......
There is a proxy that pops up when I try the link :confused: . Is there anywhere else I can check it out I'm very interested?Quote:
