TORSPD: NEVR

Wire brushed the area clean, then sprayed Steel-IT over the exposed area. As well as over the whole of the gusset. Prior to welding.
What you don't see in the above picture, was the spray paint coat, after it cooled down.


Probably unnecessary, but going to try the primer first, on the driver side.

 

Next small project

 

Wuzzat?

 

Beginnings of a rocket furnace.

 

If you start a band, its name should be Rocket Furnace.

 

Hmmmm

 

That primer arc starts extremely well.

A little bit closer to finishing this welding practice/rocket furnace. At 175 amps, these welds are taxing the limits of my Diversion 180.

The side vertical passes had to be filled twice. At the end of the two sides and bottom, the machine took a long time to cool down. The little engine that could.

Side note, I was able to do a little tuning the other night. It is considerably better. Need to review the data logs and get after it some more.

 

Great updates lately! Although I still don’t understand what the square tube is for....

I found this image, could be a good way for you to save some space, and money too!!

 

Preventing turbos from catching the 'rona..... we're all safe now.

Square tubing is for a rocket furnace/stove that I have been working on. Just for fun and more welding practice.

Looks like I have gotten the VVTi all sorted. Still a dog off of the line, due to the crazy gearing that I have, but a much quicker dog. 2.66 1st, with the 3.73, and 295/45 R20, makes for a looooooong first gear pull.

Change the sensor on the AEM due to heavy fueling or whatever else, causing it to read 28's then blank. Fine tune the fueling, and up the boost past 11. Maybe swap back in the Kelfords intakes too.

 

He we are for the curious.

9-10 psi. Speedo is 12% slow. Verified twice.

That sounds great m8

 

That was actually mind blowlingly fast. Are you sure you weren't trolling us and just revving it at a standstill?

Edit: totally joking, because if you're the most modified 1GRFE on Earth, I think one should expect you to be that fast.

 

Thanks mate!

Stroking 9 psi in neutral with revs alone. Ima need a bigger turbo.

Funny thing is that I know it moves quickly, but it doesn't feel like it anymore. I've been velocitized it seems. Need to up the boost and a longer stretch of asphalt.

The torque delivery is quite linear. Having it graphed would be really nice to see. I wonder how it compares to the N/A graphs that I have?

 

So 0 to 60 in about 4-5 seconds?

 

I have not even calculated. Possibly. Did you account for the speedometer being off? 2nd gear is not a open door gear. Takes some time to persuade entry. That slows down the time as well.

 

It was a quick estimate on the video. I didn't account for the error, so maybe faster? Yeah, that 2nd gear shift did take a 1/2 second.

Either way, very impressive

 

Thank you sir. Not too shabby for a 4060 lbs truck.
