Duramax diesel X-80 Re Power has begun. Forum help needed.

PPE is building the Harness now. We will be using the LBZ throttle by wire, modified for this project.

Here is the pan back from powder coat and installed. A fresh coat of black paint has been applied. Head studs and heads going back on tomorrow. Followed up by the V-drive and going back in the boat.

ARP studs are in, and heads back on. No better time to do this than now.

Curious about the optimium RPM range of the Duramax?

How low can the RPMS be while still pulling good power?

Whats the redline on one?

zvery cool build, I don't envy trying to shoehorn that thing into a V-drive configuration at all.

All depends on the tune, this build looks like it should handle a stout tune if the fuel is there

Optimal RPM for the Duramax is 1800-2000. We will probably set a max RPM at 3300 although redline is around 4k.

Motor,V-drive, and valve covers installed. Starting on injection and harness next.
