Congrats antennaclimber!

Don't mean to hijack this thread. But I've only shared about it on my facebook page. I might spin something up here in the mess hall if anyone is interested. Cliff notes: 8.8 big block that will make 1K hp+ on pump gas with low boost under 6K rpm. I'm even going to have AC and all the...

Yes, that'd be the primary use of it for me. Yes, I could try to run cords off and load other things exclusively to the 3rd phase leg, which I've tried to do as well. But in my mind, I'd rather employ two transformers in open delta to simply tie that 3rd leg in and get the single phase output...

No, that wouldn't address the concern of balance. And rectifiers would produce a unclean output. I'm thinking two buck transformers wired in the way the power company would wire a 3ph run into a single phase open delta setup with two transformers.

I'm thinking something more agnostic that wouldn't require any changes to the gen head configuration or ECU. Simply tapping out of the leads from one or more of the breakers to feed into a pair of buck transformers in open delta that then you'd establish another breaker box setup.

You can ask, but I'd be certain if they're building the HVAC side of it, they're only interested in the 3ph power from the genset. I'm trying to devise a way to have a easily "switched" output from 3ph to single but still retain the HVAC/3ph if/when needed.

The only thing I can add is the fact a gen 5 454 was weak sauce from the factory. 230hp new and 385ft-lbs. The 6.5 in question is only 160-170/290-300ft-lbs NA. But if you added a 6.5 turbo setup to it, you'd get closer to the 454's factory power at 190-200hp/380-400ft-lbs. And you'd be able...

I realize many of the military gensets can be reconfigured at the head to single phase. I've got a DRASH trailer, but as I understand, it will not easily be converted to single phase without causing some grief due to the control side of it. What I wondered is if anyone here has employed two...

You don't. It's not allowed.

No. I'm not. I've never owned a M1087. You've got the wrong guy. Chris is the other admin. But he's also not in Texas. Sorry.

No.

Either with the contact us page on the website. Or starting a private conversation with me here. Or if it's nothing sensitive, I can answer it here.

It's certainly cheaper to do it that way. I'm lazy though, I might do this to my truck one day.
