Competition duramax puts down 1000 hp

[GO 4LO]

Well, I say congrats to the whole team that helped put that thing together.



I too would like to see a graph, but ease up on them, guys - the owner might not have even gotten home yet, much less had time to post a graph. To me, all the 'it won't hold up over time', 'there had to be a huge correction factor', and nitpicking away at them makes us look kinda petty.



The Cummins has been over 1k at the wheels for a long time - do you remember our excitement when trucks started passing that level? The Dmax guys have been developing hard parts to make this happen for quite awhile now, so I say let 'em celebrate. This is a big achievement for them, and competition is always good - I'm glad to see another light truck diesel engine put down that kind of power .



Congrats.

Great numbers, but I'll reserve comments for when I see the timeslip posted. :-laf

My observations, Just like their observation that the cups or what ever lifted netted me personal attacks.



My fav was "If his truck broke half track, it coast there faster then yours". . All this from a tard that has a stock truck, to scared to mod his own truck IMHO (arm chair mechanic?)



It's fun to toy with the kids that spend their lunch money on a truck, claim all this stuff and can't back it up.

If he can post the 4th and 64th comment, he could of uploaded is graph by now.

don's injectors may have fuel left, and the tuning of EFIlive almost seems infinite... but to say they KNOW there is 200hp left in the motor is just asking for a let down

isn't making more HP kinde like going down a race track?



200hp = 20sec 1/4.

400hp != 10sec 1/4

more like 16sec.



X amount of fuel = 1000hp.

X + 20% of fule != 1200hp kinda thing.

they are already claiming 1100+ already... and the motor couldnt hold 1004hp (seen by the coolant issue)

its one thing to say "we hope for more after the bugs are worked out" but to say "we will back it up with 1100 or 1200hp runs" is kinda crazy, but we will see.

Exactly. The whole "it has more in it" is speculation and to some extent, ego.



I have never met Kieth but we have corresponded and he seems like a nice fellow, and he deserves the kudos that are coming his way. I would have advised him to get on a nationally recognized, well-known SuperFlow dyno and immediately posted the results, but he did it his way and I'm not gonna pick on him for it. There was a lot of hoopla about this truck and engine when it blew, so I'm sure there was some pressure on those involved to get it up and running again and get the monkey off their back, so to speak.



As for driveability, the ability to swtich tunes in the Dmax is a huge benefit. On the street, I run a 430 rwhp tune and that's plenty. At 500 or more it's just unruly and unless you're out in big sky country, it's a pain. The twins may help smooth it out compared to a big single like mine, but I don't know for sure.



I can't see driving it around on a 900-1k hp tune. 20% throttle position = ? 300 hp?



Might be a bit twitchy!

Perfect for those slick wet roads. All you'd need is a locker for some butt puckering fun. :-laf

 

[JasonCzerak]

These trucks STOCK is almost a pain to keep straight on the snow and wet

 

[GRotman]

If you doubters knew all the big names that were involved in this build, you would know that this is not a smoke and mirrors operation.

Is there alot left? Sure the injectors were very conservative and the cp3's aren't even being taxed yet. At a 1000 hp the truck barly even smoked,so there is plenty of air available yet. Not to say that there isn't a few issues to be adressed, but that is to be expected when in uncharted territory.

Keith will keep at it, and I'm sure this will not be the last time you here about this truck!

OK. Name names.



:-laf



I think I know the list...

 

[smokinrod]

I know one name and that name insures there to be a big BOOM in that engines future :-laf sorry I am a hater



but I do beleive that a good builder will be able to acheive 1000 reliable hp from a Dmax ,I mean why not there is a mod powerstroke puller

I myself would like to see the graphs. As far as the truck owner posting the graphs he had a 2000 mile ride home or something like that,don't shoot the messenger.



If someone else has graphs I guess they aren't talking

2000? Dare I go back and re-read between the cheer leading dribble and look for that 250mile post?

 

[JerrodGlover]

Daleville, IN to Medicine Hat, AB, Canada on Google maps comes to 1,630 Miles.

TST on the Cummins has 1-9 an hp and 1-9 on TQ. Lot's of switchability.

I run close to the 400 hp mark on my box daily. I certainly don't lay 400 out daily but I like the drivability of 4/4 alot.



Hey I believe the 1000hp, no reason not too since he will be having to prove it more than once or he'll be a fool. Give him the benefit.

Well Hoot, what I was thinking is that there are no VP44 or CR (switchable-tune) Dodges near 1000HP on #2. The only ones I know of up there are p-pumpers that aren't streetable at all. I could be wrong on that so let me know.



So having 1000hp on tap and then being able to back it off to 500 hp for streetability would be a first in the diesel world, I think.



And don't read too far into that... . I am NOT one of the ninnies that cries "yeah but we drove it here!" Seems a lot of folks in the Dmax world place a lot of pride in the jack-of-all-trades role. To me, if you're shooting for the moon, don't expect to go get a load of drywall or tow an RV. That's a bunch of silliness IMNSHO.



"Do one thing and do it well" is more my style.

 

[JasonCzerak]

ohh yeah! I can back mine down to 295RWHP!



oooh k, maybe 325, if I leave the intake and exhaust in place







Then again, I wouldn't call 295hp streetable. Being slower then snail snot is not good for my book.



I wonder what my daily driven Hot juice 3/1 ez 1 does for HP. I'll have to make sure I get that dynoed one day.



flipping the EZ up to 3, HJ to 5/4 and accelerating at 45mph to merge with 70mph traffic netted me a nice drift down the entrance ramp today. . had to back out, grab 4x4 and get on the hammer boy do these 0 degree temps make some HP
