Amen Russ! But they gotta spin em up to get the power to the prop. Lugging is extremely detrimental on Forced Induction motors vs NA.

Torque is nothing but a cylinder pressure... running a motor in the peak Tq regime especially on a turbo will shorten life substantially. Gotta roll it over and let the motor make HP Just like in a truck... reach down(in this case your pocket for gearbox cash), grab a deeper gear, and put the power ...

But if he direct drives a turbo car motor it is a big mistake... torque is useless without RPM... the prop needs shaft horsepower to convert to thrust.

Dual overhead cams in a V8... seems like Ford did that already... Coyote!

Thats the right one... it's not plug and play... you need wiring diagrams and it's a lot of cutting and splicing

You confirm E39A... which is a Regal and ATS 2013-2014... E92 is very similar... stay away from Camaro and 2015+ ATS E80 ecms Best harness to start with is a 2014 Buick regal manual trans... bout $300 new from dealer... much easier than dealing with torn pullout harnesses the salvage yard destroys t...

What ECM? E39A Or tell me the car and year model you purchased the engine from... For E39A G13 - 2 pin alternator plug should wire direct to ECM X2 (Black) pins 55 and 53 - your circuits are 23 and 25 - wire colors vary by year and car Ill check my wiring for cars that have stop/kill programming to ...

The VSS signal is very easy to manipulate. You splice the crank signal and feed a Dakota Digital SGI-5. Then feed the ECM with the Output of the SGI. You adjust (divide) the signal in the SGI so you get a 0-5mph feed when engine is idle... I read about near 0 mph at idle and it tops out ~20mph which...

LOL... well get the unscented!

buy the cheap laundry detergent which is biodegradable like XTRA or usually the store brand. Its nice to get a blast of clean mountain freshness when driving around in the funky marsh anyway.

Ill usually mix it to like 10:1 - 5 gal water to 2 qt soap

what reduction ratio?

He drives a Hamant now!

TX and LA folks do not frequent here much anymore... I check in time to time to talk with the Ecotec guys...

There is a huge ride planned for POC August 25th. Sponsored by Huk and Diamondback Airboats with a few drawings and giveaways.

Join Southeast TX Airboats on Facebook if you have social media.

We will be building some in TX Im pretty sure. Working on these small engines has become a hobby and Ill help build one when our group gets moving on building complete boats

all factory tunes are TQ limited. (transmission life extending) all these turbo motors can make much larger TQ numbers and have more of a curve than an flat line... if the heads can flow the air the turbo can be tuned to run outta breath. GM limits airflow to make those nice flat TQ curves they disp...

lol.... lb its all good. i aint no cry baby, just love a good debate with the oldschool bb and sb guy every so often... if you run a carb this day and age ill give ya shit. its all about fun to me also, dont start thinking my panties are in a wod. these motors can either make you smile or piss you o...

lol... ive been a member of this site about 8yrs more than you for a total of 13yrs now. but what does that have to do with it. and i dont work on my own truck either, no time to deal with it since thats not my day job. yes i live in the world today and obviously you do too. i can change a tire and ...

hey ladyblackwater... can you read... it makes more TQ than the 5.3 Gen 4 and Gen 5 on 87... put 93 or E85 and you will even surpass it more. Also I agree with you to a point... if all you can work on is a carburetor and you have to bring your vehicle to a dealer just to diagnose an issue they maybe...

2.7T will swing bigger prop than Gen 4 or Gen 5 5.3L... just saying... under the curve 2.7L makes more HP.

at 3000 its only about 50HP lower than stock Gen 5 6.2L L86... lots of potential

I highly suspect this motor will become the fleet vehicle motor of choice vs the v6. So availability in the aftermarket come 2020 or 2021 will be surprising. I am an EcoTurd fan though and share Russ's opinions bc I know what these motora are capable of doing. I can turn props designed for twice the...

Yes... saw it just the other day... that 2.7 looks promising... but

Delete the DFM
the 10:1 is a bit high so may not have much to gain over stock boost levels.

Yep we try to only run our lighted whips when running switch cane and tall trails. Public waterways its nav lights only. We only run headlights and LEDs when not in the main channel to help navigate. Any light other than nav lights on the main channel will get you a ticket here in LA and TX.

Has a heater circuit designed to get me to optimal operating temp faster and force the mechanical thermostat open. not really controlling that much but just pumping heat in to make sure i dont run too cool and not the fact I am an Ecotec guy... the sensitivity you feel is the engineer talking to som...

never understand why people ask for help then argue... your mind is made up so just do it... my radiator is 8-10 away on the backside just like yours but my computer controls temp. so cant help ya anymore
