Thank God I have coated pistons.

That areomotive 10 micron filter, is it a paper element one? If so ditch it, its not rated for diesel fuel. I had a problem with them when I first installed my RR system. After a while, they become a restriction and make the pump work harder. I was melting fuses it was working so hard. If you have to have something, run the 100 micron stainless one.

Meh...

Cruise set at 75mph, drive/boost were at 10 psi, egt's were from 650-750*F, almost got to 1000*F on a couple hills.

Couldn't bag it if I tried...it can't hold ICP pressure above 1700-1800 psi.

Just needed to get home. (kinda like having stage frieght on a strange toilet...."gotta get home, so I can poo...")

Thanks.

I would like to see it run at it full potential as well.

I had an injector that looked very similar. A bit less of my tip went missing however (75% nozzles). It blew out the center as though the holes played connect the dots. I was towing a trailer when it happened.....no collateral damage and have almost 10,000 miles on the replacement tip with no issues.

Dzchey21 · May 15, 2012

Did you look down at the piston with a camera or something to make sure it didnt hurt the piston?

Sucks for you man, frustrating i know

Extended Power · May 16, 2012

No. I don't have anything like that to inspect it.

If you didn't look out the side mirror and saw all the smoke, you wouldn't even know anything was wrong.

Doesn't mean that it didn't hurt a piston tho. I've seen bad stock injectors take out pistons

Extended Power · May 20, 2012

Looking for a camera that will fit through the injector holes of the cylinders....

Finished the crank pulley, and pump mounting bracket for the second hpop.

And then I pulled the threads out of one of the holes on the stock dampener.

Holiday weekend...need a heli coil. Not gonna happen.

Oh...also changed the DAHL 200 2 micron filter...wasn't bad at all.

Also working on the electric fans...

strokin6L · May 20, 2012

how the heck did you pull the threads on one of the holes for the dampener? Hopefully the flex-a-lite fans work out good for ya Ivan...so far so good for me.

Extended Power · May 20, 2012

The first time i inserted the bolt, it was tight...so I chased the threads out with a new tap.
(paint inside the threaded hole)
The second time I tried the bolt, all the threads were wrapped around the bolt when i pulled the pulley off to shorten up the pulley shaft.

Not too big of a deal...but I really don't wanna pull the balancer off again, as it such a pita to torque up...and I used the bar that I used to hold the engine from turning over for some of the new brackets.

Extended Power · May 20, 2012

Jesse said he got my injectors on friday, so I hope to get them back by the end of the week.
Should have a lot done by then.

Also, I don't think I will need the quick spool valve for the primary...as both connection ends were not sealing that good. The HX 40 flange warped pretty bad, so I gotta get it and the other v band squared up and sealed properly. But if I remove too much material off the HX flange, then the v band won't tighten up properly.

Round and round we go....

Extended Power · May 22, 2012

Heli coil installed on balancer, as well I got the second hpop mounted up.
Get a couple of belts for it tomorrow.
Waiting on an inspection camera and injectors...ehem......waiting on injectors....

oke:
