i think so, hahaha, especially if you have PT in the morning. i hated that ****

 

Always - been doing 2 a days for years. Goes with the job.

 

Hmmm. OK, I'm thinking now of pontoon outriggers. Make this thing a true amphibian. Paddle tires or a PTO for a screw drive. And you may as well arm it. Can the Navy spare a torpedo?

I'm seeing Pentagon contract possibilities here, Kane...

 

oh i know

 

HAHAHA I lol'd at that

 

HAHA - I could mount some DPV's under it for insertions.....


Off topic: We might be getting some DPV's - I love those things!!! Talk about fun.

 

Would a pressure regulator from an air compressor be available? Much lower pressure ranges than diving equiptment.

 

We do have a bunch of air compressors - but they operate from 150 PSI to 5000 PSI. Same kinda deal.

We do have a small AC for tires and stuff - but no junk parts.

Good idea though - I can ask around some other places.

 

What a day!!!

Well things are moving along nicely now. We have some fitment issues with not having the correct threading and flange pieces for the oil lines - solution? We have a welder and it is free!!!

Here is me welding the oil sending line fitting to the turbo - Hope we don't have to take that off....


Then we had to find an oil outlet to send oil to the turbo - solution; oil filter and 2 pounds of JB Weld... oil changes are going to be a bitch now.

Then we mounted the turbo - and GASP ran it today! This thing sounds mean - and is OMG ridiculous!

If you see this in your rearview - you know it is time to get out of the way!


And yes - that is the final location. Video shortly!

PS. My weld had some seepage so JB weld backed me up!

 

The story behind this video:

John the videographer was too smart to stand close to the car when I turned it over (). So he is like 20 feet away convinced we are all about to die from impeller shards. I am behind the wheel - then once it is safe he comes closer; and then when he sees the oil seeping from your custom filter / oil send line; he yells "Hold" which is diver slang for the "merde has hit the fan". I kill it and he forgets to shut the camera off - the vid is like 2 minutes long of all the bugs we had first time out; but my net isn't fast enough to load it all. Still sounds cool!

We fixed the leaks and will work on the cold side soon!

Good stuff!!!!! HAHAHAHA

 

I'll have to check the videos when I get home. Lookin' awesome Kane, grats on getting it started up. Put a 50 cal on that badboy and you'll be set.

 

Mark 19 - If your going to be a bear; be a grizzly!

 

I prefer polar...but whatever...

I keep forgetting to subscribe to this.


I'll have to check out the vid in a few.

 

When you have too much under the hood bling - to keep it under the hood.

CAI anyone?

PS. Oil leaks fixed.




How is this for a hoodline?

 

That's simply pimptastic...

Now see if you can attach a snorkel with some pantyhose to prevent large amounts of dirt from getting sucked in...

Paint the snorkel pastel blue or something...heh

 

We'll be mounting an air filter soon.

And we were going to run the exhaust up the roofline - but I kinda like watching the turbine spin while I am driving.... or I am losing braincells - or both.

 

I'll do a DIY if someone wants to do it to their 8......

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA - breathe - HAHAAHAHAHAHA

 

yep,

and good for you....

beers

 

Meh....braincells grow back right...

Cull the herd!!!

 

Since I will be driving mostly - I guess I shouldn't worry right?

Soon we'll all be so dumb - we'll have to become SEALS (wa wa waaaaa)

 

Haa...

 

that thing is awesome, i would defintily route it to trailer stacks, that would be even more badass!!

 

Trailer stacks has been mentioned - now to find some of those cool caps....
