TORSPD: NEVR

Thank you sir. We finished up about 9:30-10:00 PM on Saturday. Had to get up early to head out a few hours away, on Sunday, for a Rally-Cross half day instructional course. My will power was pushed to the limits, to not work on it yesterday, when we returned home. I might not have shown it, but I was fighting it like a little kid impatiently waiting to open presents.

 

pretty excited to know the feels you're
gonna have driving this thing around. Everything about a built motor/truck/car is sex... My favorite is the smell close second is the sound of boost building

 

Cams sound good at idle man. I'm pretty jealous. Ready to see this bad boy on the dyno at low boost already.

 

How could I have forgotten about the smell?! I only caught a whiff, as I was in the truck the majority of the time. Machine Musk -by Old Spice.

I will get another video today. It should be much easier to hear since the idle has settled.

 

I'll be waiting haha.

 

How has there not been another vid update yet? I think this calls for a ban hammering ;p

 

Just creating suspense. Lol

Here is a little better video.

 

What electric fan setup is that?

 

She's sounding nice and healthy Mark. When are you getting tuned?

 

Dual SPAL fans. Comes with the Ron Davis radiator. Which is a dual pass radiator.

Schedule is set for next week. We ran into a big problem yesterday though. Severe lack of oil pressure. Was perfectly fine on the first fill. One the second fill, it slowly tapered off to below 4 psi. Very dangerously low.

 

WHAT! All that time and money and you didn't spring for the oilless bearings. Wow, just Wow.

 

WHat did it cost you?

 

Doh!!! Actually, I am extremely happy that I had all of the bearings coated. A saving grace right now.

~$1000 for the radiator with fans, and temp control with fan wiring harness. It had to have tabs welded on to mount to the truck though.

 

Mark, do you have any type of traction bar on the truck? Your old video showing compressor surge had a ton of axle wrap in it. Just curious.

 

I think that was also when he was lifted, which would cause axle wrap

 

Good point. Still going to need a traction bar to keep from twisting the leafs into a pretzel with this new motor.

 

Probably, or need insanely stiff leafs

 

That was such a great video for those reasons. Couldn't have gotten a better view, to explain.

The axle wrap actually became worse when lowered it. Possibly due to the one piece driveshaft. Seeing as how Toon didn't have near the wrap with the same Tundra Racing kit, and his two piece driveshaft.

My rear has since been modified again, and I have Calvert Racing traction bars. No more axle wrap to deal with.
