Making Of The Willy Mammoth

its my understanding that superchargers dont help boost a diesel, like a turbo. like on a 2 stroke detroit they're supercharged and turbo charged but the supercharger only scavenges the air for the turbo

what gears did you install in what case? v6 case takes a bunch of shims to run the SHP("4cyl") gears in them..

They were supposed to be "V6 gears" It says 8" on the box and the PN is TOY/571.

I wonder if they didn't just cross the numbers so they didn't have to make extra gears?

First one I bust they will get them both back.

I should have insisted on Yukon.

I just found this: http://www.precisiongear.com/toy8v6.htm

TOY/571 is 4cyl and TOY/571T is V6

Sorry bastards sent me 4cyl gears and I was dumb enough to install them in the V6 housings. Actually it took quite a bit of genius to figure it out.

So maybe I should do both.

Mark, find out what the pulley size for a gas engine with double the displacement of your engine, and run that size pulley, you cant over feed air into a deisel, they wont ping

my old cross country rig was turned up to 600 ponies, with 40 psi of boost, that beast would scream

do you already have the gears back in the axle, or just in the carrier??

Willy Mammoth · March 10, 2006, 07:06:58 PM

I do have the gears in the axles and have about 500 miles on them already. We drove to Jacksonville that Sunday and out to Kissimmee last Tuesday.

I have been able to get up to 62 mph in 4th and 5th gear. That's better than 55 in third at 4000+ rpm.

Still needs better pick up though, so back to the supercharger.

On the rear high pinion. Randy's Ring and Pinion have a way of oiling the front pinion bearing. Talked to a guy that has been running one for a couple of years and about 9000 miles on a dd rig and has held up just fine.

Willy Mammoth · March 13, 2006, 03:38:19 AM

Now someone just needs to make a rear cut for the HP and I would go back.

Thanks

Ramrod · March 13, 2006, 11:11:07 AM

your not worried about the strength issues of 571 gears?

Willy Mammoth · March 13, 2006, 06:25:32 PM

yea, but the only way to know if they will hold up is to try them. Besides I will have a spare.

So worried? No. We will see how it all turns out.

Willy Mammoth · March 25, 2006, 04:58:07 PM

Today we made some progress on the supercharger nose cone.

Started off with a rough measurment and started trimming the foam.

Willy Mammoth · March 25, 2006, 05:12:12 PM

A little more trimming and some finish sanding.

79coyotefrg · March 25, 2006, 05:18:58 PM

this is for pushing the air into the intercooler right

Lady Di · March 25, 2006, 05:33:02 PM

Yes Glen, we need the insulation value of the foam to keep the air from getting too hot

Willy Mammoth · March 25, 2006, 05:34:15 PM

Time for a little 101 here?

hopefully as we want it to!

79coyotefrg · March 25, 2006, 06:04:46 PM

i know thats the proto for making a mold for the real deal,

Lady Di · March 26, 2006, 06:58:16 AM

Mark will have to explain exactly what it does, all I know is it will connect to the engine at a couple points, there will be a shaft running through it from the front of the engine, to the supercharger, and a belt will turn the shaft to run the supercharger,

something like that.

toybuilt · March 26, 2006, 10:56:03 PM

Well if anything it will look cool

Lady Di · March 27, 2006, 04:31:40 AM

He got the box made to put the mold in, and we went to bass pro shop and picked up a big cast iron pot. He started melting the aluminum yesterday afternoon, he's going to make some sort of lift to get the pot from the fire to the cast, it'll be about 6-7 QTS. of aluminum in the pot.
I can't wait to see how it turns out

RHG · March 27, 2006, 05:35:04 AM

OMG you are actually going to cast this thing in your garage? Your the mad scientist. I love it. cant wait to see how it turns out. From the turn out of the mammoth build and the clevor bellhousing work I have no doubts that this thing will turn out just as great.

Soon he'll be looking for a victim to remove his brain and transplant it into the Mammoth Buuuuwhahahahaha
