Any more progress on the kit Tate?

 

Hasn't really changed since then. Waiting for the house to become mine so I have a place to actually work on the truck. No go at the current place, and I don't really want to work in the streets at the folks house.

 

Tate, you could always come over to my place if you need a shop to pull wrenchs. You back in town again? I'm just put in a set of new injectors and just about finished my methanol injection kit install. Know I have to get enough courage to push the button

 

That is understandable. Please keep me posted. Like I have said once My bike sells Im going to be working on the same kit so im looking for all information possible. Thanks

 

Tate we have to get one of these methanol kits in your truck. I'm pretty impressed so far. Of course I'll find the limits. I'm a dumby, my old ATS intake manifold would have worked. I thought the nozzle are larger in physical size and I had to drill. I've already used a half a jug of windshield washer just on a few runs. I'm gonna see if I can make it thru a summer on one head gasket.

 

That sounds pretty neat Mike... I was considering that instead of twins.

 

I'm just running a single small nozzle 325ml and just using windshield fluid. Everyday on the way home from work, I have to use the spray. Sure wakes up the truck in a hurry. I want to put a 16 gallon tank in the bed, so when I haul my trailer this summer I don't run out. I might try another nozzle and see what happens. My neighbor get methanol from work, so I might upping the methanol percent. My fuel mile has increased from a week ago by 1.5 mpg. I'm going to Vancouver next week, so I'll get to see if the truck will survive the trip with the system active the entire trip
The tow pig might get close to the 500rwhp mark, with a small single and economy injectors. The turbo still looks like new and my egt's haven't broke 1200 deg's yet.

 

Just wanted to update everyone on our newest twin member and "I can't believe I drove a single turbo for sooo long and twins actually work"

The twins sure fit in nice and Tate did a decent twins build-up.

 

Hopefully that newest member of the twins club, gets out of bed at a reasonable time so he can do some tuning on them.

Even with the secondary gate way too tight, and a pump that still is having issues, they made for serious 4th gear traction issues last night.

 

I think Tate's smile told the story. Going from a truck that waited till 2000rpm's to lite, to a truck that starts to spool at 1200 rpm. By 2000 rpm's hard wot pull, you'll be over 40psi mark. Sure was a fun night, can't wait to build-up the next set. I even have a pic or two of Tate working

 

Yeah the 4th gear sideways at 2000rpm and 55psi, with no tuning made me giggle like a little school girl.

 

You guys have all the fun...

 

Niiiiice.
Is a longer oil feed line needed on the top turbo or will the stock reach?

 

Not to speak for Tate, but I am pretty sure both feed lines were custom.

 

Tate had a pretty whizzy drain. I have a few oil drains adapter and I just use stuff from my local hardware store to build the drain. You need metal to clear the turbo, after that you can use a hose. GIC/AN hose fittingsworks nice as well
