I almost hate to jump in here there has already been vids and time slips on this website showing a 14 6.2 CC 4x4 running 13.5 with a tune at sea level. Ive read a mag test that shows a 6.2 in mid 13s with 0to60 @ 5.3. 12s with a blower at sea level, easy. Bolt ons, some persons bound to bolt on some gas and get into the 12s or better.

13.5 with tune only? 5700 pound truck(curb weight) runnin that with a tune only?

 

I don't know man. Like I said if I see it, I'll shut up forever!!

Just to stir the pot more, here is more internet information. Not sure if this is just a untouched magnacharger with a catback, or it has headers, more boost, etc. Either way, its gotta move.

I'm not making shit up buddy, I've been in blown 13's,

 

You say you're not making stuff up then confirm in the same sentence you have zero experience with these engines.

 

I realize the new DI 6.2 might have a little more, but really? THAT much more? I can't see it happening,

 

See, that's making stuff up. Nobody cares what you can or can't "see happening." We care about reality, not your biased made up stuff.

 

Maybe I am a little bit off on my first prediction, but you are too jon.

 

Again, making stuff up. We're talking about future events measuring engines with future modifications--you have no clue how my predictions will stack up with actual results once enough owners and shops have played with these engines enough to have a good idea of their potential with various mods.

Yup, he says he'll shut up if he sees a timeslip. Unfortunately I don't think we could be that lucky....

Nice. 472 RWHP, no surprises there. No cam required. And assuming it’s their standard TVS1900 kit that’s without headers and other bolt ons as well.

I'm not makin anything up lol I live in a place that's full of young guys with fast shit the one I was in was a Denali. The other was a 13 silvy pretty sure. 12 or 13 for sure anyways, just randoms I met street racin in ft Mac. You're making just as much predictions as me...so how is that any different?

I thought you were done with this thread?

Mine are based in reality given knowledge of these engines and actual results people have had so far and will likely turn out to be very accurate.

 

Yours are based on nothing and have already been proven to be laughably wrong even with the little info we have so far (just look above) and will only become more laughable as time goes on and more and more results come in.

 

Other than that they're pretty much the same....

Oh so you're the resident pro on DI injected engines now? Let me ask have you done any tuning with it urself? Any mods urself? If you have let's hear a lot about it?

 

These results you speak of...let's see?? You even say we have little info? You contradict what you say also.

 

That video has a huge Dynojet banner in the background LOL. Wonder what the baseline was?

 

Mine predictions are based off of racing trucks of this caliber on the street.

This thread is like old times. If only Chevyboy knew he's fighting a losing battle...

Lololol hey, if it wasn't for the village idiot how many good threads would be here?

 

Real trucks don't have spark plugs anyways [emoji48][emoji33][emoji110][emoji110][emoji110]

So, the new 6.2 is rated at 420hp. High side drive line loss is about 20% I believe. Putting approx 336hp on the pavement. Can 64hp be created with tuning, exhaust, intake?? Is that what the big argument is here?

Bone stock 5.3's on E85 are puting down numbers right in that area 330/355, on 10% they are around 310/330, that is factory stock. These transmissions are either very efficient or the engines are underrated. I haven't had the pleasure of Dyno-ing the 6.2 when tuning and it's hard for me to speculate numbers because the trans tunes alone feel like 50hp gain.

 

Very interested in hearing how this turns out, I'm curious how they overcome the knock retard these things are plagued with from factory with 6lbs of boost on top of it.

The shift points in this thing are for sure all over the map. Thought it was just me, but this truck seems to have a mind of its own on how, and when it wants to shift, and run. I swear some days it feels like it has 50 more/less HP than others, must be I got the female model.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
