I think he means the pages you click on from google and then you click back to go back to google and it goes back for a split second and then jumps straight back to the page, never letting you leave it unless you click back really fast 50 times.

I put a clear return line on mine and those things barely do anything. They seem to just release pressure that somehow gets past the needle, the entity of the whole needle.. From what I am seeing, hardly any gets past it. This is at idle, but I am talking like one drop of fuel a minute. I mean it doesn't flow at allll. I just noticed this when I hooked everything up and had a length of the hose higher than the return lines so it had a big air bubble there and it never filled up till a longggg time later. I will put the hose into a cup though and see what happens. Maybe it had a tiny jetison that I couldn't see. Sure can't be much.

Rancherman hit me up asking about how injectors of varying sizes could make any difference when the plunger lift is always the same. Therefore, the same amount of fuel is delivered no matter the injector size, albeit higher pressure for smaller injectors. Which brought up the question as to how they can give higher HP ratings? I seem to be drawing a blank on this today. Anyone got any words of wisdom?

It's interesting how theres always 2 sides to everything. Every story has an opposing conspiracy, political parties have opposite views, we have opposing thoughts to every situation even if it's our own. I'm not sure what to think of it all. Is it a necessity to get the best benefit? Or is it merely a way to slow down the process of everything and create doubts in everyone. If there is a truth, why is it never publicized and verified. We don't know the truth to anything. We don't know what every word of the bible truly means and probably don't know what really happened at sandy hook. In a world full of doubt and greed, how do we learn from each other? How do we know what to believe? It's a very interesting world. I personally believe anyone who thinks they know the answer to that is full of ****. If we were robots then it would be simple, but stories change, memories change, everything changes. What someone says they will do one day will change the next. What the media or books portray are just as variated. So I don't know what to believe but that is why I do no idolize. You read about it and gather ideals that will benefit you or your thoughts possibly to help understand the previous unanswered questions of humanity. But there is one thing thats for sure, you will never get a solid answer

It kinda lets you form your own opinion of him. You could tell some of the things he did were a little one sided as in my way or the highway. He told a general he wanted to do something and the general said something about nothing good can come of being hasty and lincoln kinda gave him a smart@$$ comment in response telling him what he wanted done and to "not think about it too long..." I don't know what to truly think of him as I somehow never gained any notion in life to idolize anyone so I just kinda see him as having interesting causes and effects and the book just makes it so neat to learn about. Yes I hate books. Most of them don't make sense, have words that just don't bode well, they just suck. So to read something about history/philosophy/and causes and effects and to have it actually flow incredibly well while also being very easy to comprehend is something I just can't resist. But apparently I have to read 4 chapters of the right book and a chapter on some other crap in history. Who knows when I'll have time for this again.

I got a book for philosophy class called "Rise to Greatness" by David Von Drehle which is about Lincoln's rise as the best president ever starting with when he was looked down upon as a president. It starts out on new years day 1862, when the war was on but the union was losing everything up to that point. It goes into such detail about Abe's thougths and everything he said and this and that and every one of those damn politicians should read it. I have only read 37 pages of it out of 460 and it's just incredible. I hate books, but I couldn't put this one down. If you guys want to read something and have some free time....this is the book to read. Turns out I wasn't supposed to be reading it and was supposed to read this other piece of crap. So because of my ignorance, I was awarded. Cept now I have the other book to read a crapload out of and then put this one aside. Has anyone else read it?

Broken studs and compressor housing won't come off??? You didn't let the penetrating oil soak in to those bolts did you The compressor housing is just a snap ring and it pulls straight off. If it was sommmmmehow welded to the wheel, then you could take the nut off the wheel and the compressor housing and wheel woulda slid straight off. So, what was the deal with it? Sounds like you admitted defeat, I want to know why!

I've never heard of one either. Probably the same as the 89' trucks.

Eh I'm betting mine would start just the same with just the 1 battery. I'm pretty sure the other battery is toast. I wonder if this slow cranking has anything to do with your crappy mileage. As in some sort of mystery load that is dragging the engine down. I mean, it will crank slower in the winter...but what you describe seems to be on the extreme side of "slower" as in something is wrong. Does it bar over just as easily as your other engines did?

Yeah mine started fine at 30F and 20* timing (cranked and cranked) after sitting for months with a corroded to hell battery and dry cell all in toolbox far from the starter. It cranked over slowish but still started after 5 seconds or so. Being your batteries are new, you can load test them again but I would definitely be checking out the starter or bad connections. And yes the idle thing is from the load of a cold engine. When the engine is warm it idles at X rpm and takes X amount of fuel. When it is cold, it takes a lot more fuel to do X idle RPM and since the pump has no way to account for this, it injects the same amount of fuel which isn't sufficient. I have to do the same thing... Tap the pedal to start and hold it at 800 for 30 seconds ish though I have a choke cable thing I just pull out and it holds it for me. They do make an aftermarket high idle kit now that uses a vacuum solenoid thing.

HX35W is 56/60/12 for reference...For those that want to know, 56=small diameter of compressor (in millimeters), 60=small diameter of turbine (also mm), and 12 is cubic centimeters of exhaust housing.

Yeah the flow rate you get is basically everything according to that guys site. The "mass". And if you put in a colder temp for incoming air you can run a lot less boost and still get the same mass flow. So boost and temperature go hand in hand. But I also see where VE goes in as well since it is pointless if it's not even getting in the engine. One of these books shows the effects of scavenging and it mentioned something about it being harder to calculate so they just used an engine with no valve overlap. So I have no idea what the VE really is. I do know how much the valves open but I don't know any of their dimensions so I can't determine flow rate and all that other stuff. I have all that variable so you can change it if you know it. I guess I can change it to 90% and save it there since I think everyone is going to ignore that value as being something they don't know so maybe 90% is a better standard. But I have no idea and I don't like values I just see around forums because of the constant contradictions I see everywhere. If I can calculate it then ok but aside from a huge publication (though dieselpowermag is wrong a lot too), then I kinda get weary these days.

Well if you flip a coin just right... That site didn't mention anything about it so I just kept using their 85%. I'm going to make something very fancy to give a an actual table and then you can see where the turbo would be the best. I already made one really crappy one (no variables, and I colored it myself...) which I will post on here for something to come. Excel can do it alllll automatically, I just spent most of the time I had yesterday on reorganizing that original piece of crap. But I will definitely look into what I can find for calculations on it, unless you already have an idea. So here's whats to come. Because this is always just ONE scenario, it seemed best to vary boost. I mean I pull our trailer at 70mph in 5th gear and I never let it gain or drop a mph, so only boost changes as far as the compressor is concerned. But I will add a drop down so you guys can pick what you want to change. The blue is the inner most efficient circle range and the green is the next circle out. That was on the HX30. Seems HX35 stuff is hard to find (a holset one anyways, not these homemade things).

After all this time, they finally caught us. I do wonder why sled pullers completely black out the arena. You can't tell me they make more power that way. But, don't new trucks get 13mpg? Doesn't that mean they have to get a lot more oil out to feed these thirsty trucks, which use diesels to get the oil, and hence emit smoke.... They have the technology to get 30mpg out of these things, I know it. Get rid of emissions, program them to barely haze at WOT and get 30mpg cruising and everything would be cleaner.

And a video explaining it. Crap, when I say the variable turbos are big I mean common...not big in size.

Alright I cleaned that piece of crap up so here's the updated one. Make sure you have something in every blue field that isn't optional. I haven't added any error stuff to it so it will probably still give you an answer if one of them is blank. There is a drop down list under the corrected mass header, you can see the units there. All of these charts use different units so you can just click the one you are using and it converts it over to it. Be sure to look at that on charts as I screwed up yesterday while I was looking at that chart on here. The top line on the chart above uses one unit and the bottom line uses another, so yeah it can be tricky :moon:I am going to add something really fancyyy to it soon. But until then here you go. Turbo Stuff 2.xls

Look up under armor 4.0 cold gear... It makes it summer again. Wear the shirt and the pants and then a regular shirt and jeans over them (since they sure don't seem to be for external use) and then add a windproof jacket (I don't care if its just a poncho), and a full face hat and there you have an extremely light and maneuverable outfit that is hotter than hell. Oh then socks and shoes and gloves to match. With that set up you can go out in -20F weather and be fine. Sweatingly fine.

Geez, Mike's killing me with this rar stuff lol. All RAR files are with password: mopar1973man.com

So funny cause it sounds so ironic to do these days. I'll wear it at my inauguration and see what happens. You think obama is packing under that thing?

How come they all have trench coats? I want one now.

Alright I added the excel to the last post. Under the corrected flow section, that info is listed on the compressor map. At the top of this one you see "Corrected to 85F and 14.425psi"..that is what you need for that section. All turbo maps use different standards.

I've only had 1 cast in my life which was the big wreck in 2003. Tore all my shoulder ligaments the past summer and was in a sling for a few days until the specialist said its actually better to move it around if it doesn't hurt. Went home, took the sling off, went back down and rode a 4 wheeler, killing myself over every bump. It was worth it Pain is just an illusion of the mind

This is pretty interesting. This book I have doesn't get ungodly specific on what all the variables in the formulas are but this site does so I will turn it all into a spreadsheet to make it easy. Then maybe we can all be turbo experts http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/turbo/turboflow.html Here's the excel format. All of those blue things are variables and they are cumulative meaning you have to fill them in from the top to the bottom. As you go down, it uses all the previous ones. Turbo Stuff.xls

I think it's right This thing I found might be using intercooler efficiency rather than turbo efficiency. I'll go through it today, was just looking at the pictures last night.
