    M1070 Tech & Tips

    Power and mileage In stock form, the engine is detuned in military applications. Again, this is also where the DDEC computer is valuable. With those unlock keys and codes, the user can get in to things such as fuel pressure and cut off values, requested boost, speed limiter/governor, and fuel...

    checking in from FT Hood by way of Afghanistan

    Thank you Tony. Hood seems to have lots of personnel that have spent some time there. Personally, in my 8 years I have been stationed at camp eagle south Korea and Hood. I don't mind that though. You can do quite a bit there and never leave post. Plus it's not as crowded any more; it's down to...

    checking in from FT Hood by way of Afghanistan

    Unfortunately I can't share much information or advice on this issue. I don't have that much experience with the engines in these things. I have a good deal of knowledge on turbocharges and late model diesel fuel injection systems. Where I excel is motor blue printing and building. I've dabbled...

    checking in from FT Hood by way of Afghanistan

    No, I have never and will never pig hunt with a knife. I enjoy my life to much and have spent to much time already in hospitals due to my own stupidity and lack of sound judgment. Pig hunting with nothing more than a knife falls in both of these categories, in my personal opinion. My tool is an...

    checking in from FT Hood by way of Afghanistan

    I appreciate the positive comment on my son. It was a very rough road. He was born with cerebral palsy; more specifically spastic diplesia (sorry if I spelled that incorrectly). Before the operation, called a selective dorsal risotimey (again, I probably miss spelled that), it was extremely...

    a few turbo and exhaust questions

    Not hardly a max effort build at all. Power wise, if I could get 400-450 LB-FT to the ground, I would be ecstatic. Boost is nothing more than a measure of restriction. In every build I have done, I try to have an attention to detail in terms of efficiency, reliability, and safety. The raw...

    a few turbo and exhaust questions

    Thank you so much for this good quality read! I have been doing my research as well. The turbo I have selected to use is a GM-8 for the N/A to turbo conversion. Also plan to go with a HMMWV intake manifold. I think with some port matching, removing some material internally, and smoothing it...

    checking in from FT Hood by way of Afghanistan

    I've never had a bad experience with Miami. It was Fort Sam Huston/Brook Army Medical Center that I have not so pleasant memories. But he is doing much better now and I thank god every day for allowing my son to have this surgery. I grew up in Volusia County, right between Daytona and Orlando 5...

    checking in from FT Hood by way of Afghanistan

    Miami, not that far from where I grew up. It's unfortunate that you have a Mustang! Just Joking around with you. That thing Looks Beastly! Ft Sam, I don't ever want to go back there. My middle son had to have neurosurgery there, not a memory I would like to recall. But San Antonio is such a...

    It's not taken hard at all. quite literally this is the second time with in no more than about an hour that the same mod hit me up in 2 separate threads. Ive got think skin, but this really side tracts the point of my being here. simple enough, I came here to share my technical knowledge and...

    checking in from FT Hood by way of Afghanistan

    I guess this is how new members are treated, A moderator forum stalking? something as simple as a finite grammatical error, common in most internet forums, has begun to give me a bad taste. It's internet policing such as this that discourages knowledgeable individual's from even taking the time...
