RE: Location for pyro
since there is no back pressure, i fail to see how larger exhaust is of any use. there is a limit to how much power you will get from a engine with such poorly flowing heads. redesign the heads, add oil cooled pistons, larger oil cooler, bigger turbo, more fuel........ oh...
RE: Re: RE: m35 with rear winch ever been done ?
i would use hydraulics to power the winch even if i was putting a stock winch on front. several advantages including no shear pin to worry about, system pressure can be set to act in place of shear pin, pressure gauge on system lets you know how...
i think you may have missed one important clue. if the compressor gets too hot to touch, it is working pumping air. sounds like the air had no place to go as in a line froze or the check valve between tanks froze. a common problem for those check valves to be full of rust, i always replace all...
i have run it in hills of pa on I83 with 11 deuce trans (220 lbs ea) in back and a 150 lb fuel tank enpty, so about 2500 lbs. plan to run it tomorrow with a real load on a 2.2% grade. i am making an indicator to show actual real time fuel rate setting from 0% to 100%. not where the throttle is...
you can put a butterfly valve in the intake and have about the same effect as a gas engine, (with a blow off valve) but the multifuel has no valve stem seals. when using a exhaust restricter you should have a switch on the throttle that prevents it actuating except when the ip is at idle...
gear cutter came in last week. main shafts are back from heat treating and are at shop for grinding. needle bearings are made. 2/3 hubs are made. blanks for gears are being made this week or next. gear production schedualed for middle of febuary.

so far you are all wrong. never tap into the engine fuel system for a heater. the port on the tank pump is for a test gauge only. the heater uses a pickup tube that goes in the pluged port on top of the tank. the tube does not go near the bottom of the tank for two reasons. 1 clean fuel. 2 if...
engaging the clutch is sort of a learned thing which involves letting it out so that it fully engages just a millisec before you apply any fuel. there should never be any 'slipping' of the clutch done. if you feel you need to slip it you are probably in to high a gear for the load. level ground...
is this all the friction there is?? this is a heck of a lot more than an organic disk, all that pressure is focused on 5 small spots. learn to engage clutch without slipping it and you will be fine.
change the axles?? mine would run 74 with stock transfer and axles..........
that's a smaller engine than the cat v8 isn't it? it fit just fine. you will have to lift the body for the trans.
the plastic warps and changes shape so parts that need to move do not move. the metal motors seem to last forever. i had a set of metal motors that were over 30 years old and they still worked great. you do not see plastic motors on OTR trucks, they seem to be smarter than the military.
glad it's going back home again. douglas adams could have never imagined what his babelfish would become. i wonder how many people other than you brits, really know what a babelfish is!!!
i doubt if you would be able to tell, but you want the hot water to enter the heater on the connection further away from the fan to get the most efficiency
OK, 3 in hg = 1.5 psi and 6 in hg = 3 psi so there is some pressure. my unimog U1300L has a muffler and it is as quiet as any car, but is a 366 cid turbo diesel. i guess i should measure the pressure on it. i just want a starting point to work from, i have several ideas and prototypes one of...
ok, i start this topic because i am interested in back pressure only and not really the type or kind of muffler involved. that is to say i want to scientifically experiment with various muffler systems, but want to start with knowledge of how much pressure is ok and where the power will be...
