I had another fun day today tuning a Series 5 ('89 - '91) 13BT on the
dynamometer for a friend of mine.  I really got a good chance to open this
one up and see what it'd do.  The only real modification to the engine
was a set of TES inner water jacket o-rings, a porting scheme that
I've been experimenting with, and a higher base oil pressure (the
Racing Beat 80/85psi regulator).

Running stock Turbo II model ignition hardware, a turbocharger from
a Cummins 10L turbo diesel truck, 108 octane fuel, and 23psi of
manifold pressure, the vehicle produced 476 hp and 382ft/lbs of torque
to the drive wheels.  We calculated it out to about 540 to 555bhp
depending on the drivetrain loss figures used.

After the tuning and power figures, we drove the vehicle home without any
issues at all.

Here's the dyno results' sheet:
