    EFILive Make Your Tune Choice

    Why is it lack of sentence structure and love of oraling the coal always seem to go hand in hand?

    Jkholder's dirty laundry (cleanup from EPR bridge thread)

    And I have screwed stuff up, gotten behind and not finished jobs on time. Why don't you see people online bashing me? I called them as soon as I saw things were not right, and I did my best to uphold my end of the deal. I was honest with them. If I messed something up I told them (like one dodge...

    Jkholder's dirty laundry (cleanup from EPR bridge thread)

    Then why did you charge that guy so much to do that 6.7 kit? Why didn't you take it somewhere else to fix it for you? You keep saying that was in the past but what have you done to fix it? I'm sick of this new American mentality that goes all the way from the president down to the bum on...

    Picking an A/R for primary/high pressure turbo...

    Really you need to dive into thermo to understand this, at least how I'm explaining it. You need to understand the difference of mass flow (mass flow is the derivative of mass moved over time). What CFM is, how temp and pressure affect a flow. Enthalpy and entropy etc...

    Jkholder's dirty laundry (cleanup from EPR bridge thread)

    JK, if you run a small backyard shop just say that. I want to do the same thing, working with Rob and Scott at SDP doing installs for them (once the Air Force lets me stay home long enough to actually build a shop). But you have to know your limits. I can't weld like Scott, so I only weld what I...

    Picking an A/R for primary/high pressure turbo...

    First off, any numbers I throw out there are off the top of my head-I'm a jet propulsion guy and not an expert like the well known kit makers... You low pressure turbo(s) will set the maximum flow though a setup, if it is set up close to correctly. As far as how a turbo works-"work" done to...

    Picking an A/R for primary/high pressure turbo...

    And you want to size the LP turbo(s) so that they are not too hard to spool, but you already have the HP turbo spooled up so it makes it easy. Therefore you size the LP turbos so they are optimized at a high power setting, and therefore do not need a wastegate on them

    Picking an A/R for primary/high pressure turbo...

    You want to size it based on the optimization of where the kit will spend the most of it's time. A race kit will not have the same setup as a DD kit. I would talk to one of the well known kit makers about what your goals are. The high pressure turbo does 2 things. 1. being smaller it spool...

    Hate thread!

    I hate when UPS and FedEx take your zip code, and let you ship stuff here knowing damn well that their days to ship are always off by one because Minot is remote. Just tell me when I ship it will take an extra @#)$*$)*@#$)*(*( day if you are going to ask for my zip code to calculate it!

    Does diesel fuel gel these days

    Just remember the 911 stuff is really hard on the truck, so try to avoid it as much as possible. I had 50/50 jell up on me a few weeks ago. I always travel with at least one extra set of filters in the truck. Really should have 2 sets since you can count on fragging out the 1st set if you still...

    Sump Location suggestions

    I cut the line with a few inches left on the airdog oem hookup and just put a 1/2 plug I made into the line and clamped it. And yes I have had a lot of issues below -17F even with treatment and a 50/50 mix

    Budget build opinions

    I can see reusing the LB7 pistons, but you will have to be really smart with tuning if you use the LBZ rods and will limit yourself. I'm horrible about waiting till I have the cash to do it right, but I would still do a good set of rods so you don't have to think about that every time you romp...

    Anyone own a Volt?

    It sounds like an electric motor with a generator. And a way over stupefied explanation that the gas engine can turn the wheels by powering the battery which powers the electric motor which powers the wheels. Why can't they just say that? I wonder how it would do in the cold, this weather is...

    Headers vs Manifolds

    Most of the time it is the end user not being able to correctly set up a before/after test that skews the data. Sometimes it is the engineer not accounting for all the variables. But unless you change one variable at a time in a controlled environment with enough test equipment you are just...

    Budget build opinions

    So you are not paying for any of the machine work? Then might be worth it. But you only gain a little bit, and risk taking the engine out. IMHO only reason I would do that with LBZ rods is if I hurt the engine, and needed to get it running again but couldn't afford the rods

    Headers vs Manifolds

    With all the restriction of the turbo I don't think headers help nearly as much as they do on NA or low drive pressure setups. I want to upgrade my manifolds and up pipes but they do just fine with my setup. Other than the LML drivers side manifold I could not justify the cost to put that in...
