DB2-4811 mechanical pump built by Huckstorf Diesel in Wisconsin. 31 mm plunger and rotary head. Calibrated to 250 hp with capability to up-screw based on engine requirements of the supercharger. No computer. To my knowledge, there has never been a supercharger installed on a P400 engine, so all...
John at Hillbilly Wizard probably has as many as you need. If not I may have an extra one in my spare parts bin you are welcome to. I’ll check when I get to my shop in the morning.
Yes. I had already mounted a new Sanden AC compressor prior to discovering the Bullet supercharger. I had set up the compressor to be driven from a custom crankshaft pulley and V-belt. Now that I am going with the supercharger, I will need to change the pulley on the Sanden to a 6-rib belt to...
Hey Gimp - where you been man? Good to hear from you.
I will not answer your first question because it would probably start a firestorm of debate which I have no desire to engage. Your second question, no I didn’t change the compression ratio because there is no need to with this P400. I uh...
I’ve got a brand new gear reduction unit sitting in my parts bin. Bought it years ago thinking I would use it someday on a super 6.5. However when I began assembling my new P400, I had an original CUCV starter rebuilt to the tune of $240. It’s now hanging beside the P400 girdle ready to spin the...
The GM part number for the original glow plug temperature sensor is 10045847. Occasionally a NOS unit will pop up on Ebay. You might want to do a search on there and see what happens.
That's what I would do. There's nothing wrong with swapping leafs as long as they are the same type/length from an identical spring pack. Sure beats paying for over-the-ocean shipping. Besides, Swfb will probably need all new spring packs when he gets that Supercharger installed. :p I...
It would certainly be helpful to everyone on SS to see details of your custom oil lines. As you probably know the OEM lines were discontinued years ago and rubber deteriorates constantly. I believe you were fortunate to get your engine shut down quickly before serious damage was done. Think...
Yeah I hated to see that crash. But to be honest, If I had been a passenger on that flight, I would have demanded to get off after one of the engines would not start, and then the now-deceased pilot, who I will not name out of respect to his family, attempted to "blow-out" the stalled engine...
I wouldn't be too concerned about a few gouges on the crank snout. If you filed those off and polished the snout with fine emery paper, you should be fine. Installing the new damper will require a longer M16-1.5x70mm bolt because the 50mm OEM bolt is not long enough to safely engage the...
