    Don't have any pics handy, but main journals get chewed up. Typically when they break in the front. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    Silicone hoses on straight pipe?

    I literally wore one of those out on last project. Well worth the cost. They will do thin gauge SS if ya go slow and have some else crank it while you spin the tube.. But I also found just welding a few bumps around the end of those tubes works just as well. Goal is keep the tube from sliding...

    U.S. sues EZ Lynk for selling vehicle emissions defeat devices

    When dealing with US Gov agencies, they can drag you into court from just about anywhere if they want. Just ask El Chapo , or his wife who made the mistake of stepping foot on US soil last month. And while any good prosecutor can indite a ham sandwich, this deal is a bit different. It's just...

    Yeah those carp are fresh water. Making their way up the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers currently, and hell on bass boat occupants. Source: https://youtu.be/TtfnUtm6GpI But that did made me look up what would happen if one landed in the turbo.. Source: https://youtu.be/itnT-v-Fm8Y?t=145 As...

    Next level up. Like a couple layers I think. You can still see light through em. The Race Day is the mesh only if I recall. Which for $100, I can bend a couple nice SS screen covers.. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    1 of 2 Air Raid track day filters ordered back during the snow storm finally arrived in FL today. Figured I should put something over the turbos before we suck a rag down the pipes. They also get a bit of sea spray splashed back in that area under rough conditions. So hopefully these don't...

    Not easily while on the boat. I drilled a hole thru the transom box carrier bearing assembly so if the bellows leak, any water could drain into the transom box. When doing the pressure test, I could hear and feel air coming out the past the input shaft splines or seal, thru the bellows, into...

    Computers don't delete emissions, people delete emissions. Intentions of the user makes all the difference. Please help pass reasonable laws that keep computers out the hands of crazy people... :-) Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    U.S. sues EZ Lynk for selling vehicle emissions defeat devices

    Article I saw focused on their forum that allowed users to discuss how to do deletes. Don't think the gov has a leg to stand on this time. Unless they go after Bosch for selling the MDI to shops too. Better yet, what about the aftermarket ecu manufactures like Holley then?? Sent from my...

    Drives are atmospheric vented into the transom boxes, so no way they can pull a vac. Also pressure tested them two weeks back and can't find any leaks. Gotta be getting in around bellows [also now vented to upper boxes] or rhe case half seals are leaking under heavy loads. Both previous owners...

    Have one nagging issue holding up progress this week. Once resolved, a trip to Cuba, or at least Key West and back is well within reach. The lower units keep getting water in em. And after full day of running, the synthetic 75w90 looks like CNC cutting oil. 6qrts per unit per day, equals...

    Once we throw these drives in the junk, but some Merc 6's back on it, and make at least one run to Cuba and back.. Then I'll call it done. For now, still debugging a few things. Seem to have the CCV resolved, but after setting on the bench for a week, the port turbo is spitting up some oil in...

    Yeah I was actually surprised to see it in there. Had sending unit out a couple months ago and it was all good. Only bought fuel at two places here in town. Gonna suck it all out and dump some in there to kill it off. All my years of running biodiesel I never ran into it. Even washed all my...

    Logged another 50 miles last couple days, fuel issues seem to be resolved for now. Gotta run home for a few, so put the boat back on the trailer yesterday. The old bay was a bit choppy, but that's where this setup really shines.. Source: https://youtu.be/Xq7F245WiNc Sent from my SM-G892A...

    I have some buddies who always run two stroke oil, or quart of transmission fluid as fuel additive. Have also seen a couple LLY trucks with sticky FP regulators that made it a few extra years with a little biodiesel every other tank. Then I quit producing, and they had to finally change it out...

    Was unable to find any Fuchs 762 locally, so I used a permatex 80335 on the mating surface of turbo v-bands flanges. Its rated 2000F, and similar to the stuff I used on the up pipe joint. Then coated the clamps in antisieze and cranked the fuchs outa the T-bolts. Ran it 5 miles at 50, and...

    She's back on the water, and such a watched project, my weather man buddy even spotted it at the boat ramp. And I checked the hour meters, 30.6hrs since on the dyno. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    There is some good papers out there on biodiesel power and mileage studies. Some of my favorites are by college students who did biofuel mixture studies with old 10-15hp single cylinder diesels on a dyno. Couple even dumped some nitromethane into the mix, which added some nice kick. But main...
