"Roofer Dave's" engine lives!! Ran the initial break in on Dave Underwoods 404ci turbo engine today. 94mm single turbo with W2W headers. Turbo is running out of steam upstairs, but comes online solid by 5000rpm. This is the All Pro cathedral port heads on a iron block. Kurt RPM TQ HP BOOST 4500 880 754 17.3 4600 989 866 19.82 4700 1059 948 21.7 4800 1129 1032 23.9 4900 1211 1129 25.71 5000 1280 1219 26.84 5100 1325 1286 27.6 5200 1354 1341 27.85 5300 1365 1378 28.04 5400 1375 1413 28.19 5500 1384 1449 28.2 5600 1385 1477 28. 5700 1381 1498 27.91 5800 1368 1511 27.8 5900 1357 1524 27.71 6000 1345 1537 27.53 6100 1331 1546 27.15 6200 1317 1555 26.75 6300 1297 1556 26.46 6400 1277 1557 26.12 6500 1260 1559 25.76 6600 1237 1555 25.28 6700 1220 1557 24.81 6800 1204 1559 24.63 6900 1183 1555 24.21 7000 1156 1541 24. |
HELL YEAH!i was following his thread in the dyno section way back when when he was having all those problems with his setup.Im glad he got it sorted out,but i didnt know he was going boosted too,back then he was just going on motor.:cheers: |
Hydraulic cam? Very impressive numbers :D. Is this going in front of a glide, or TH400? |
Nicely done, but which 94mm unit are you running on that engine? |
ddnspider |
ddnspider its a diff car and diff motor but same owner :D |
I'm looking to use a 94mm on my 509" BBC. What are the specs on the turbo? |
Ah gotcha.i thought he had a 427 too thats why i was suprised lol |
holy schmoly! Great numbers W2W! That must pull like a freight train from 5-7K. Is this with a GMPP carb style lower intake? Liquid or air/air intercooler? BigStuff3 fuel management? Solid or hydraulic roller? Dry Sump oiling? What rods? |
wow, impressive numbers!!!!! |
Engine dyno? |
Finally got that thing running... Now time to head to the track!!! Looks like it needs the bigger turbo after all to get max power but those numbers should be more than enough to run 7.80's and scare Dave to death!! I'll answer some of the answers for Kurt since this motor is very similar to ours, It is a solid roller,Big stuff 3,and will have a rossler th210, and was on an engine dyno,as far as the rods im not sure, and it does use a carb style intake. Congrats to Dave, hes waited a long time for this project to finally get to this point. Now lets go racin!!! |
bad ass.... More info Kurt..... How is the rest of the build coming along??? Kyle |
That's badass! |
Just some rough estimates, but if the boost stayed on and torque stayed pretty much around 1200 up to 8k, that'd be over 1800 hp. Is that around what you guys are looking for? Badass! |
hows harlans old kit coming homer |

Once I learn the car the 94mm will be coming off then it will be time to make some power.:eek2: The engine has a long list of cool parts Jesel beltdrive Jesel valvetrain rockers,lifters Del West titanium valves Mahle pistons Oliver rods Callies lightweight 4" crank Dailey 5 stage dry sump 2" primary mandrel bent 321 stainless turbo headers. Big valve race ported All-Pro heads I'm sure I'm forgetting something but you get the idea. |
