Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Anxious to see governor assemblyI found out something today. The stamped metal housing for the gear on the bottom of the Hydraulic Head is not needed to run the unit. It is just there to hold the gear and shaft in place until it is installed into the pump housing. I also installed all the little side plugs and the 12 point bolt which holds in the pressure relief valve and spring.
Also, which turbo? "D" or a larger 5 ton spec turbo will get you more air = cooler, and maybe a 5 ton air cleaner. Try running with no filter and see if it helps.Winfred when you start to climb the grade are you at or close to 2500/2600 rpm?
i think its a D as its not the whistler, was thinking about a better air filter assy but don't think the stocker would be that horrible at stock power, doesn't look that bad, kinda mused about if a hx35 holset would be a upgrade as one is providing a home for spiders in my building after i went ball bearing on my mildly evil 12v dodgeWinfred when you start to climb the grade are you at or close to 2500/2600 rpm?

Yes the "Holset" HX35 would be an improvement. In fact a big improvement ! I would install a "pyrometer" first before you changed the "Turbo" though. Don't want to melt your pistons !doing about 50 maybe 52 when i hit the bottom of the bridge (this deuce is a good bit peppier then the last one i drove with a whistler turbo, that turd didn't wanna make it to 50 with all fresh filters) i've had it to 55 and it didn't seem tapped out but didn't wanna push my luck as thats a big old lump of iron built by the lowest bidder and im not ready to window the block and surf my own oil slick into the nearest ditch just yet

Putting more air in the motor will only cool it off. You only need a pyro when you add fuel.Yes the "Holset" HX35 would be an improvement. In fact a big improvement ! I would install a "pyrometer" first before you changed the "Turbo" though. Don't want to melt your pistons !
That's the whole reason for adding a Turbo, increasing the fuel. You can increase fuel but without the air to burn your just wasting fuel. So you add a Turbo and increase the fuel but you need the "pyrometer" to check the exhaust to make sure you haven't gone to far. I just assumed you knew that.Putting more air in the motor will only cool it off. You only need a pyro when you add fuel.
Bazinga!
