We know who got what now....jus sayin

Lookn good.

Thanks. I'm having a fuel issue of some sort. She's stumbly in the middle. Idles great, screams like a ***** wide open but the middle needs some help. I think I'm gonna take it to sosabees when I get it back from having the interior done and get it dyno tuned. I'd like to have a little of the aggression taken out of the bottom and leave it at the top.

Re:

Should've never told us you were gonna put it on a dyno. Now you can't make up imaginary horsepower numbers without somebody asking for dyno sheets. That loses horsepower by itself!

Ah I think Patrick isn't unrealistic when it comes to what he has got , at least from what I gather from being on the trail with him a time or two. He definitely has some hp's though. thumb.gif

 

[pholmann]

I don't think the real numbers will be disappointing. No matter what they actually are, it's pretty scary. :****: I'd like to have it dyno tuned then when I tear it down for powder we will dyno the engine on the stand. I'd be curious to see what kind of loss there is on one of these rigs.

About a 22RE 8) :P

 

[pholmann]

I bet your about right. Normal cars are what, 20% loss. I'd bet they are at least 30% due to heavy, large tires and all the big heavy parts. Wonder how that translates in low range.

Re:

I thought I've heard 40-50% in a trail rig.

I'd say your probably more accurate than I am. Everything we use is heavy **** meant to take a beating. All of that ****= parasitic loss.

 

[pholmann]

Well she's gone for a week or two for interior and engine cage. Maybe I'll get some other **** done without it in the garage. I only want to work on it when its Here. :****:

 

[wimpykid]

I'm interested in the losses as well.

But seat of the pants is where it's at. I get caught up in the numbers game at times, but if it goes like you want, numbers don't matter.

 

[pholmann]

Seat of the pants u tuned is scuuuuury. Can't wait to get it tuned right.

Any more updates??? drool :dunno: Tony will have one next!

Re:

Highly doubt it.....the tubey things look nice but I like a body'd rig.

Realistically I'd build an all weather 1ton wheeler with heat-AC. That takes Pholman money though so way outa my reach.

 

[pholmann]

It's getting the engine cage and interior sheet metal work now. I'll post up a pic or 2 after while.

 

[pholmann]

 

[86chevota]

Hell yes

 

[tonybolton]

It's probably just the angle of the picture....but that steering looks WAAAAAAAY off!!!

 

[fordcontraption01]

You must have a lot of faith in that powerplant not to make the engine cage removable :flipoff1:

 

[pholmann]

Oh no it'll be removeable. I asked the same thing. Lol. It's barely towed out a touch. Still haven't adjusted. The picture makes it look way worse than it is. I guess he builds it that way tacked together then puts the bushed ends on. :dunno:

Guess I've been slacking lately on updates. Got new switch panels since the other one sucked. Got these from 12voltguy. Dressing the interior up and working on gauge placement. I have a little to do before beat down time. But I'm close. I'll get some pics today.

 

[Beerj]

what was up with the switch panel? Thought everyone said they were decent.

Toggle switch was stuck...

 

[Beerj]

Hmmmm, wonder if they make any with a middle position

 

[tonybolton]

Re:

That's what he's installing

Nope. Junk. Sent it back for a refund.

Hope to have the gauges placed tomorrow.
