NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Check with Boeing. They are slightly faster than government getting back to you about a job but that should have a position to keep you working on or near turbine engines.

 

Were you at 32ND street? Only been to the exchange there but have spent plenty of time at nasni and point loma.

 

I'll be in downtown seattle that day for work, how long does it take to get from downtown to everett at 4-5pm is the traffic really bad?

 

Probably ~1.5 hours

 

Ehhh, i might pass then, still have a 2 hour drive home from downtown.

 

Agreed you will be hitting boeing traffic through Everett

 

I want to meet up but traffic around there always puts me in a bad mood

 

There is the Boeing 737 Max plant at Renton Landing.
There are also some additional plants in the Auburn/Algona areas.

I would look for a headhunter that can place you in the job based on your quals.

EDIT:
ok, that was a duh moment for me as I read only the "jet engines" part not the ship propulsion part..

 

Love my g20

 

Careful you don't lean out the motor without the cats. More flow is useless without more fuel plus you loose low end tq. You do get more power, just in the higher rev range.

 

Wanna go but I have to work. I'm free Sun-Tuesdays. Have fun guys

 

I would... if it was closer. Long drive home after a few drinks.

 

I'm in

 

and possibly the OP too...

My plan was to install the ucon ems which comes with a cooler t-stat so the ems can throw more fuel at it and exhaust cam gears which allow less exhaust scavenging. They are mostly for supercharged applications, but they have a n/a tune for guys with intakes and exhaust etc.... Could see "up to" 50hp with just those mods.

I held off on buying a used ucon, after talking with urd they said to not buy a ucon without the cam gears. They wouldn't give me a reason as to why I couldn't just buy the cam gears separately. I'm guessing it's just that they want me to pay $1500 to them and not pay half the price and pickup the cam gears separately, which they didn't say yes they are available separately, but they didn't say no.

 

I'll be there, but it'll probably be closer to 7:00 for me. Depends on how early I can leave work and how many idiots are on I-5.

@mutilatedjak (David) should be able to make it as well.

 

Let's make it 7pm!

 

You plan on retarding the gearing? How many degrees?

 

The exhaust is retarded 3° via the cam gears. I'd have to double check. The ems would control the intake/spark etc.
