oh man, one stirling? that's going to take forever on a quarry that size. why not string a few more of those lava gens together and mainline the power straight to the quarry. no need to run a BC engine between.
You can pipe lava directly into the quarry? I did not know that!
As for time... well I have plenty of that. I'm not in a hurry to mine out my Mystcraft world, but could put another engine on it or two. Just concerned if the Ender Chest can keep up with the ores

nono, don't pipe lava to the quarry.
the lava gens that you're using. use another one or two of them, and hook the redstone energy conduit directly to it. or set the gens directly next to the quarry for max speed if you can't make higher tier energy conduits yet. with quarries, more power = faster, to a certain point. you're far below that point though.
you've got a decent, basic setup going. just keep refining it, trying new methods, and see what will increase your speed/yield.

Ehm, I don't get it. Why not just make some Magmatic Dynamos?What do you think of this as an easily-powered quarry?
I have an Ender Tank connected to a Lava Generator which generates energy for my Stirling Engine to power the quarry. Seems simple enough!
Call me daft, but has there been a change in mechanics recently? I thought that the generators produced RF, and conduits converted RF to MJ. Why is the sterling engine needed? Also, doesn't the sterling engine still run on burnables?
I could just be REALLY out of touch with standard BC stuff.

You could get rid of the stirling engine completely and power the quarry off of the generator. The conduit will do the conversion.
It's not a limitation of the chest, it's a matter of how fast you extract the stuff on the other side. Two itemducts in stack mode should be able to keep up with the full throughput a standard quarry can achieve, since you already seem to be voiding the junk you might even get away with one (I'd watch that a while to make sure however). After that it's just a matter of big enough buffers and/or fast enough processingJust concerned if the Ender Chest can keep up with the ores
I use something very similar except I use a tesseract, it makes life so much easier. The corresponding tesseract on the other end is hooked up to my base's main power supply and a chest with an import bus attached. Once set, it needs no input from me until it hits bedrock.
Partly. it's also a workaround because the quarry won't eject into itemducts and I couldn't get transport pipes to connect to the tesseract for some weird reason.
They are probably needed to to TE3s intended incompatibility with BC pipes.
What I don't understand though is why have all these pipes and stuff on the quarry end at all? Tesseract for power(and a few conduits now ofc), Enderchest for items and that is all on the Quarry side. Much easier to move the quarry that way. Then all the other handling is dealt with back home at base.
it should work, but if you use lava then surely magmatic engines would do the same job but better?
It's not better to filter at the quarry end?[DOUBLEPOST=1396404799][/DOUBLEPOST]
Quite possibly. I didn't know they'd power it either, but I had a Lava Generator so tested it
