Re: TD engine oil, brand and grade.

Td42 same specs as above minus meth and a few killawasps.


Delo 14-40 or castrol gtx 15-40

I wont use penrite anymore after installing an oil pressure guage and watching it lose pressure after a bit of hard work.

The delo and castrol seem drop less in pressure and recover quicker.

Re: can you get a diode to take 30a at 14vdc?

It could be done, I see your point. BUT I'd think it would be more trouble than it was worth, all you need it for one sticky relay and you pump 24v straight back into your 12v system and melt everything leaving you stranded in bumfuckidaho. More trouble than its worth.

Another vote for paralell.

Re: bleeding off boost to anaroid.

Thanks for that. Tips like placing the bleed close to the compensator was what I was after. My gauge turns red and starts beeping when it gets to 500 deg. I just want the extra safety barrier of starving the aneriod at the same point or about 25 deg earlier. The pressure it cuts to would have to be ...

bleeding off boost to anaroid.

I have autron guages that I'm pretty sure has a switch wire that comes on when your preset max egts are reached. My question. Could you use that wire to control a two stage boost controller to limit boost pressure to the boost compensator? In turn reducing fuel and egts? If this is possible, could ...

Re: Ford v8 air filter for turbo diesel.

Look up how much air yours draws on slow wide open throttle, and then what filter is rated to. Minus about 20% for dirt and overzealousness. Its not about 25psi, its about cubic centimeters of air. Yeah I've read in a few places, CFM is roughly 2.5 times hp. so 500 cfm required. I just wanted to ...

if you dont need the full drop in height you could just get any fridge slide and make it so it tilts when you slide it out. As in, the arse end of the slide lifts away from your floor 4-5 inches. seen it done. Works well. Otherwise I cant help.

ended up with a 75-85 penrite fully synthetic. did gearbox and transfer.

First 100km no heat whatsoever.

The next 500km I think there was more heat in 4th but less heat overall.

This was loaded with a tinnie on the roof on 35's @ 110-120km/h
