Towing Test with our Caravan:
Lenght: total 9,2 mtr/Living quarter 7,7mtr
Boggie chassis.
Weight: 1940 kg
Distance with Caravan:175 km
Outside temp: 10-12 degrees Celcius.
I was very exited of how it would perform since this is the first time i tow with the new setup: New Turbo, ATA Cooler, Buddy 3 Banger, K-47 Air filter box.
1: Cruising with the caravan.
In tune pos 1(Economy) it performs nice on flat roads and climbs, but have to use the throttle some in climbs, i see IAT temp at18 degrees C on flat road in 53/mph.
In tune pos 2(Towing) it performs like a dream
. it pulls very well, doesnt struggle at all when climbing or increasing speed on flat roads. I see IAT temps from 32 - 46 Degrees Celcius climbing up to 20-30 degrees roads in about 60/mph. I got boost at 13.84 PSI on my 65% throttle test climbing.Unfortunately there was to much traffic to WOT it long enough on the best climbs, but i am sure it would keep on pulling as long as there is roads.
It was a very pleasant experience, cant wait to tow it again "it just works like a dream" this setup.
2: Empty truck.
Tune 3(Max Performance)
Finally i got the chance to test it in a 1km long climb, and all alone, no cars in sight. Started from 60km/h and WOT it 100%
, at 123 km/h still climbing i got IAT at 32 degrees Celcius, 15,36 PSI, 94,5mm fuel. I am very pleased with the temps, both unloaded and loaded.
This beast pulls like :crazy:
