    T87 Swaps

    Got one wired up, and it runs a bit cooler than an actual solenoid. Which will burn the [emoji90]outa your hand after 5 minutes on time. But my loaner T14 seems to me a bit flaky after five minutes or so running. Stopped communicating on me. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Yeah, I forgot that aspect of it. If these new bad boys don't cut it, I'll have to go dig in my buddies' transmission pile to find the rest. Have the T14 harness checked out and ready to go. Guess we'll see if it likes em or not first.. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Current record for the Oval Race Cast pistons!

    Nice info. I've seriously tried my best to kill em. Smacking 6000R's free spinning, directly into 100% load, 1750F sustained, like for several minutes at a time, sprayed down with 260F+ coolant, and I fed one engine a well shredded compressor wheel just for good measure. So maybe I didn't feed...

    If it ain't happy, we'll know it's not wrong resistance.. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Also ordered some high wattage 5ohm resistors to try and replicate the valve body solenoids on the bench. However once did the math, went back ordered some bigger 50W versions with heat sinks. My estimate at 13v is like 35 watts per unit. So we'll test that shortly. Sent from my SM-S901U...

    Picked up a couple of these nifty workbench PCB holders. Now it can't run away while I drag test leads across all these shiny spots to see if it screams... HA HA HA HA :devilish: Maybe I should first see if it still works, after hacking it outa the case..

    T87 Swaps

    Ok, curiosity got the best of me, and I exercised the T87 PCB from its aluminum case... Took an hour to figure out how they put these together. Heatsink pattern is glued to the case with the same seam sealer grade goo that holds the rear case cover on. And the 60pin connector is a 2 piece...

    Got Sludge?

    After producing and running ASTM certified biodiesel for a decade, I like this guy.. Whenever possible, I suggest running some B20 to lube and clean the system. You'll hear and feel a difference. It's just better fuel . On the oiling, my only lesson of late is never run synthetic on new rings...

    The old muddy Ohio did a double tap on us this past weekend. Went down to just below flood stage, then more rain took it back up to almost where it was the week before. However, this time, it provided some excitement. A moring of 20 loaded barges broke loose in Pittsburgh and took out a...

    T87 Swaps

    Ah yeah, I almost forgot.. I finally got the VR to square wave adapter design figured out where the T87 will accept it. Involved a cluster of jumper wires, several mosfet types, and a used headlight bulb out of my wife's Edge. But it works.. Output shaft tracks good all the way to 215mph...

    T87 Swaps

    I'm back on the T14 swap this week. I've been working on the house, doing some remodeling, and a new roof. Went all metal roofing and love it. However the house didn't, so it gave me the shingles... Was a pretty itchy couple of weeks. All recovered now, and safe to be around...

    They sell a medical sav now ya can put on welding burnt eyeballs. Back in the old days, ya cut potatoes up and held slices on your eyes for a few hours. Learned it as a kid from an old timer. Great cure when ya wake up at 2AM with what feels like a handful of sand in your eyeballs. Last time I...

    I practiced sleeping with potato wedges on my eyes, because I have first-hand experience welding without proper eye protection. Figured I'd get a jump on it this time.. [emoji24] Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Water is also headed down in my area, with all the roads still greasy today. So I grabbed the grandkids and headed off to Dayton / Cinci area to watch the big eclipse tomorrow.

    We ended up about 2ft below prediction. Or 4ft lower than our 2004 historic record. All the paved roads in and out of town are covered, leaving only a dirt goat trail up over the hills to get in or out of town. But UPS still delivered today, so I'm good for the weekend. Still no more boat...
