Good Luck with your Dad Jake.

we'll talk at you on Friday...

It's a shame you still won't post any pictures of the Type IV DTM internals.

Maybe you could offer an up-grade kit?

I hope your dad's eye sugery does well.

IT APPEARS NO UPGRADE IS NECESSARY. THE PREVIOUS GUY SAID HE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH HIS DTM. THAT ENGINE AS YOU CAN SEE IS 200 HP AND RUNS COOL. WHAT IS YOUR DEAL? GET OVER IT IT WORKS GREAT.

You see, Jake swiped the ice maker off his refrierator and put it inside the DTM. Now if everybody started doing this, no one would have ice makers on their frig anymore. So the only responsible thing to do is keep it quiet. Now if you really want to see the pics you gotta be nice. I mean if it were me, I'd only show them to my friends.

Crimson, I'm glad you finally are enjoying your ride. I don't know how you can stop driving long enough to post! Stay cool.

Crimson, I'm also glad to see Nickies set #002 finally on the road. I'd love some pictures and a testimonial for our upcoming revamp of the LN site. We can all see now that a DTM and Nickies are a perfect (and proven) combination!

since when is 250 a good head temp. i thought it was between 340 and 380 degrees? not cooler the better. bump that CR up and hear it thump as Jake puts it lol.

Yep.... well thats with cast iron cylinders... Optimum temps that I see for power are 285-325 degrees on the dyno..

for cast iron or nickies? do nickies like to run cooler?

do nickies like to run cooler?

Thats a severe understatement! This combo with cast Iron clunkers (big bore 103s" would probably run 375 degrees all the time. They have in the past on a combo very similar to this.

i guess im all screwed up from taking some time off from this place lol. i thought 375 would be an ideal temp to run with cast iron cylinders. i run between 350 and 410(when flooring it in 4th at 2000 rpms) on my 2513(74X104mm) engine. ive never had a problem with it running funny or lose of power when it gets that high. please fill me in.

At 375+ with a big bore cast iron cylinder, they like to start egging and doing all kinds of wierd stuff that eventually ends to loss of compression. Nickies can run reliably at 375+ temps, but do tend to run significantly cooler and thus make more power per cc than a similary configured cast iron cylinder'd engine.

Yep......

Cooler = More HP and better MPG! My 912E won't run over 325 on the heads and I get 36-38MPG all the time.
