Wow did he just shove a rag in his Turbo to starve it to shut down? That's going to end well!Quote:

Yeah I've gone and worried myself looking at all the runway diesel youtube videos. . .😕
Reckon in the panic he's grabbed a 1 foot long rag to protect his hand and starve it:-( ! Damn thing actually digested 2/3rds of his hand protector :-) !Quote:

Yep. I'd say the pumps seized at half throttle maybe more..Quote:

No waste gate on it by the looks of it..
Tomahawk axe to the fuel line maybe:-) ?Quote:

Got me thinking but, MRTD would an emergency inline stop valve on the fueline work fast enough whilst we all muck around with donks?
Rack got caught apparently. Pretty common on those sorts of things. It doesnt really run away. He could have righted it before destroying the turbo.Quote:

Booked into Exhaust Fix to make up a dump pipe and I'm officially back on the road as of tomorrow.
I'll book it in to get a dyno next week on the 10mm pump and see how this performs.
Dump pipe on...so much quieter now...boooo!!!
I had a stupid autometer probe put into the exhaust after the dump pipe using the clamp and ceramic washer when I first got the vehicle.
I want to do things properly now tapping into the dump pipe of course so do I have to start fresh with a whole new set up or can I get a different probe to suit my existing set up, wiring, autometer gauge, etc?
My battery also finally died during this build, finally not holding charge at all!!
Had to roll start to get it to exhaust shop today..... .07 of a volt after charging for a week!
Being a long time coming unfortunately so just purchased a new Bond battery from Patrolapart.
It's never ending...lol
Yes you can buy another probe. Is there anything wrong with the probe you have? They should be able to weld in a bung to suit it and it would be a direct fit.Quote:

Nah the chances are it is screwed into a bung designed to be strapped on like you had it, you should be able to unscrew that and have the bare probe with thread ready to be install with any option. Mine was like that at least.Quote:

I kinda liked the no dump pipe possessed lawn mower sound though...lol, brought me back to my teenage days of my 351 short block Cleveland xf ute.
I took it down Yarra Glen passed the servo and pub and it definitely turned heads with wtf is that thing!!!
Haha, like when my TB was leaking from the end of the extractors and it sounded like a speedway car. Good times

I'll get a new EGT gauge on too which I'm looking forward to seeing how my temps are now!
Then off to Diesel Tec for a tune on the 10mm pump.
This will be an interesting comparison as Andy should have my previous results of ht18, ic on 4:1 with 33" tyres and now I'm on 4:6 with 35"s and the Borgwarner on same pump.
He should also have my pre IC results too. I'm sure it's on the forum here somewhere but I'm lazy!!!
Then another dyno on the 12mm pump with injectors.
Excitement! ;)
Finally got a new EGT gauge put on today.
Just got back from a short drive from Patrolapart but my temps seem to be a lot cooler with this turbo!
A hell of a lot to be honest!
Awesome. That could be the gauge too mate. Get them to check calibration on your gauge when it's dyno'd.
Note also you had the fuel wound up to suit to HT18 at full Noise, that is nowhere near the base line even of this new turbo so it will be running pretty cool, especially if your running the same boost. Glad it's coming together mate.
Thanks mate, yeah everything's the same so next step is dyno on 10mm pump hopefully next week.Quote:

The sucking sound is ridiculous from the snorkel intake right there. 100% unbearable even for the driver!
Yeah no good hey mate! That is why Amy is not allowed to have her window down... Lol.
I am going to put a ram head on it
Still enjoying it I see. Are you charging $5 a ride lol
Trucks going great, fun ride :-)Quote:

This turbo and Airbox is a whole other level of noise. It was annoying before but now is literally an unbearable sound of an industrial 3-phase possessed vacuum cleaner!!!Quote:
