CRITICAL MASS MOTORSPORTS SCREW-BLOWN DIESEL-POWERED 1937 CHEVY COUPE PRO MOD

On October 31, 2017   /   All Wagler News  

Las Vegas, NV – October 31, 2017 – WAGLER COMPETITION PRODUCTS, the innovators in performance diesel engine technology, and EZ LYNK, the frontrunners in vehicle diagnostics and control, teamed up to form Critical Mass Motorsports (CMM) with a mission to push the limits of diesel-powered drag racing.

The nucleus of Critical Mass Motorsports is the Wagler-powered EZ LYNK 1937 Chevy Coupe Pro Mod, which was unveiled at The SEMA Show in the Premier Performance Products Distribution booth (#21641). The screw-blown diesel Coupe (name pending fan submissions) will be used as a test bed for new product development for both parties, and it’s equipped with cutting edge technology from some of the biggest names in motorsports.

The heart of the beast is a new, lightweight version of the all-billet Wagler DX500 diesel engine, which is force-fed air from a massive PSI screw blower. Nitrous and water/methanol are on tap courtesy of Nitrous Express and Atomizer Fuel Systems, and both are electronically calibrated to the S&S Diesel Motorsport fuel system.

The DX500L internals consist of Ross pistons, Total Seal piston rings, Wagler aluminum connecting rods, Trend wrist pins and pushrods, Comp Cams roller cam, Wagler roller rockers, and it’s all held together by ARP fasteners. Additionally, a custom dry sump system delivers the JR1 Racing Oil life-blood to the DX500L.

The Wagler-powered CMM Coupe sits on top of fat Mickey Thompson slicks at the perfect height thanks to a Ridetech adjustable suspension system.

The CMM team’s primary focus for the 2018 racing season will be real-world research and development, in the form of 660- and 1,320-foot sprints. Look for this potent screw-blown, diesel-fueled couple and various gas and diesel drag racing events nation-wide.

2017 Wagler Diesel Competition
The strongest, fastest, and best looking diesel trucks swarmed Southern Indiana for the third annual Wagler Diesel Competition in Elnora, IN on June 9-11, 2017. It was a fun, soot-filled weekend for diesel enthusiast from all walks of life. The Wagler Diesel Competition 2017 had plenty of action on tap, from sled-lugging torque monsters, to nitrous-huffing horsepower kings and alcohol-chugging pro mods racing against diesel-powered hot rods.

The performance diesel industry’s best manufacturers were on site to display their innovative technology and to offer helpful tips and tech support to the diesel community. Great food and good music was the final turn that locked the WDC 2017 in as great diesel event!

2017 Wagler Diesel Competition
The manufacturer’s midway was the equivalent to a gearhead’s comic-con where grown men had a boyish gleam in their eye as they planned their ultimate truck build. Expert advice and cutting-edge technology was the topic of most conversations being had along vendor’s row.

For some, looking good is not enough, and power is what really counts. These types got as close to the dynamometer as the barricades would safely allow watching trucks strap to the rollers in an attempt to gain horsepower glory. There was plenty of nitrous on hand for those brave enough to use it, and trucks without kits could partake in the form of a very brave human nitrous controller who would crack a bottle directly into the intake pipe for a little HP boost.

Press Release: Wagler’s Twin-Charged, Nitrous-Assisted DX500 Billet Duramax Unveiled at SEMA

On November 1, 2016   /   All Wagler News, New Products, Wagler News  

Las Vegas, NV – November 1, 2016 – WAGLER COMPETITION PRODUCTS (WCP) continues to push the limit of diesel motorsports with their DX500 billet Duramax engine. Unveiled at the 2016 SEMA Show, the DX500 is built to handle extreme power levels and every piece is held together by the best fasteners on earth. It’s only natural that the DX500 is on display in the Automotive Racing Products (ARP) booth, #22525 in the central hall.

WCP’s DX500 is the first-ever all billet Duramax engine. It was designed and machined in house by Wagler Competition Products specifically to meet the extreme power demands of top level diesel competition. The WCP DX500 will be offered to the public with many different options to choose from, but WCP held nothing back for the very first version by using every power-adder at their disposal. At first glance this may seem like overkill, but this particular DX500 will be the same engine Wagler installs in their 2017 Ultimate Callout Challenge (UCC) entry called “The Shop Truck”. The Ultimate Callout Challenge is an invitational contest of diesel glory where the only rules are the laws of physics – there’s no better venue to push the DX500 prototype to the limit.

The 500 cubic inch DX500 utilizes the best components and technology available in the racing industry. The billet Duramax block, billet heads with ductile iron insert, and billet intake assembly were manufactured by Wagler Competition Products. The rotating assembly consists of: a Winberg crankshaft, WCP rods, Ross pistons, Trend wrist pins, and a Total Seal ring set. The DX500 uses an innovative Comp Cams camshaft with a roller cam bearing and Trend pushrods. Everything is held together by ARP fasteners. Fuel for the DX500 is provided by a custom system from S&S Diesel Motorsport, the leader in electronic diesel injection, and includes triple high pressure CP3 fuel pumps, precision calibrated injectors, media honed fuel rails, and a Bosch Motorsport ECU with S&S calibration. The UCC edition DX500 also has a methanol injection system by Engler and a Waterman pump to feed it. All of that fuel needs plenty of air and Wagler has chosen to use a combination of the best power adders in existence: a PSI screw blower and twin Precision Turbo & Engine Pro Mod 102 turbochargers. The screw blower will get things going and the turbos will feed generous amounts of air through the Vibrant piping into the custom intake, post-supercharger. Power management will be of utmost importance and Wagler is utilizing twin PTE 66mm wastegates to keep the air under control. As if that is not enough, the UCC-version of the WCP DX500 will also be nitrous assisted. All of the power adders and different injectables must work as a system, and that will be handled by the Bosch Motorsport ECU and the wizards at S&S Diesel Motorsport.

General production DX500s are not available yet, but Wagler Competition Products will put the UCC DX500 through the wringer to make sure all the proper testing has been done before they become available for purchase.
