Absolutely stay AWAY from the maxtow series. On their dim setting, they are bright in sunlight. Unbearable at nite. There is no way to dim them due to their design, and glowshift says they are working on a new series to replace them because everyone is griping they are too brite.
Otherwise, I've...
Ok. So I had 8 of the.75 nozzles with a 250psi pump, running 15psi boost. Water came on @7psi and full on @15psi.
Bringing water in sooner resulted in severe condensation in the oil. Also, adding more gph gave the same result.
When I went to the centermount turbo and more fuel, I got a...
Yep! Modified hx30 over a modified hx52.
Just hooked up a boost gauge. One wonders where there is room for over 60psi of boost in the 22.5:1 compression engine!
From time to time we run across a business that sells a great product, and has awesome customer service to back it up. We try to pass the word along on who is good, and who isn't.
As most of you know, I got the optishift trans controller for this project. I installed it, and it worked great...
Well, maiden voyage has been successfully accomplished! 50 miles. No problems. Just need to fine tune the trans for my driving style.
Cruising egt 600 - 750. No boost gauge yet.
VERY happy so far!
Is it dragracing season yet?!!!
Oh you just hold on to your fenders there! I got a bit of tuning to do before i video it! Wanna get a 1/4 mile timeslip sometime too! This should be fun!
Trans tuning... Oh what fun! Timing adjustments... Runs smoother and better!
Peak egt so far: 1380. Unknown boost or drive pressure. More gauges needed!
Happy so far!
It runs, and it drives! MUCH trans tuning is required. But, it appears to be holding the power quite well! It isn't totally done, but it is done enuff that I can motor it around on its own power, and can get the trans tuned.
Also need to change timing. A bit too high for my liking.
I took a...
VERY pleased to announce that it does run! No intake, no water. Just a test fire to make sure everything is still ok. Renewed inspiration to get this thing done and rollin!
Lots of little odds and ends to tie up yet. But, at least I can say it runs, and sounds VERY nice! Can't wait to go boost...
