I'm in Hinton right now, won't be back until late Saturday night.

Guess I won't be making this one.

Jeff

 

I will also not be making this one (as one may have already guessed looking at the time). I'm up in Edmonton again, so Dave and Mike, I wasn't ignoring your calls, I was either sleeping or at work. Should be back in 2 weeks or so.

 

Well, it was fairly small and fairly uneventful-but a good time nonetheless. Always nice to put faces to names-and a nice afternoon weather-wise. Mike, thanks for the hospitality. Meant to ask you-but managed to get sidetracked-about your aftercooler-that thing looks sweet...

Jason, you have one sweet ride bud. I like the front bumper. Next time your in Airdrie, stop by and we can chat some more. Tate, no probs, I kinda figured your out of town. Once you get back in, I show you the new turbo set-up. Your gonna laugh but I think my VP is going, just after I sold your old VP to Luke.

 

The old girl is in bad need of a polishing/detailing and maybe fix an oil leak or two...but for 415000 kilometres it's not too bad I suppose. Pretty gutless compared to everyone else's.....

 

I know you want a SO but I have a brand new HRVP44 for sale Mike???

 

call me or PM how much you want for it. I don't have money till mid April, so it kinda limits how much fixing I can do. I'm interested.
Jason, your show be able to hold your own against the new stock rigs. A few mods we could get you into the 500+ area and still drive it daily.

 

Yeah, I know....I'm more into mileage now than power-but I do have a dyno sheet floating around somewhere from a long long time ago at PAAL for 468hp....
Should still be capable of north of 400 with the Mach 1.6's, DragCOMP and Smarty stack if my poor old-school PDR HX40 can keep up-I'm pretty sure the stock lift pump cannot for any period of time. The OFE clutch limits my power output too...

 

Mike, if you decide to get Jamie's IP, let me know. I'm gonna be picking up that engine from him, I'm sure I could haul a VP as well. That will be after I fiinish on this unit, so somewhere between 14 and 18 days or so.

 

Jason, if the old PDR units dumps on you, I have a decently priced for new HX-40. I picked up two cheap off ebay. We just have to recycle the turbine housing off the old PDR unit and wastegate pressure actuvator. I'll let you have one for the same price as what I paid for it. I wanted to buy a set of mach 4's for daily commuting, but with the new twins I might be able to live with the 6'rs. Save the money for a new mach sticks. I just took the rig out for a turbo breakin. I got 10 feet on the 1-2 shift, I thought my Dana 70 was done, as there was a loud clunk from the rear of the truck. Well I haven't bought a dana yet, so finger crossed that doesn't happen. This thing is gonna be stupid a$$ if I can pull some boost. I can pull 20 psi in 2-3 seconds, from dead stop. I'm gonna baby the girl, till I go to Mission.

 

Might be time to upgrade to an 80...? I am hoping my 40 lives for a while yet-I sent it back last year (?-maybe longer than that now) to be refreshed as I had a noise I thought was the turbo dying-turns out it was a loose bolt in my intake plenum left over from the lift pump change I had just done.....
I would really like to try something ball bearing for the spoolup-or a VGT if there was a controller readily available-but that will probably wait for the next truck.
