Where have you been ?

[InstaGator]

How is it you get so much done in a week and my simpler jobs (at least I think they are simpler) take just as long or longer? I'm jealous!!
Lator.......

[FATB0Y]

I know wot you mean... need to replace the release bearing in mine and I haven't takin' the time to do it. Mabe if I'd stay off of here I could get something done.

[Willy Mammoth]

I had ordered some weldable pipe fittings to use for the exhaust manifold, but as always they didn't show up when they were supposed to. 

I remade the motor mounts with the mounts from the buggy. Now the engine won't move at all. I only hope the viberations from the diesel aren't too bad.

cant wait to hear that thing with 20-25 psi of boost 

[Willy Mammoth]

Yea, I know, but it will have to wait. I need to have it together for next weekend and there isn't enough time to deal with all the little things. I had hoped to have the exhaust manifold done this weekend and now that isn't going to happen.

[79coyotefrg]

The wheelbase is 100" and the tub came from Vintage Jeeps out of Texas.

Well (short pause).....don't We (Me&Glen) feel dumb who da thunk Mr.W would have bought something that he could make himself

My parts showed up today for the exhaust manifold, but I feel like  so I'm not going to work on it tonight. Those Tetinus shots can take it out of you.

I was working on the seat frame when the grinder wheel came apart in my hand.

I still need to shorten the back of the seat frame and drill some holes.

I bet that felt good

[Willy Mammoth]

I put off the turbo install for later as there is a trail ride this Saturday. I got the seat frame modified for the extra gear box and will finish the floor tomorrow. 

I still need to make the rear driveshaft and extend the air locker line. Then we go 

[Rocksurfer]

It's coming along nicely, hope it wasn't that taco that's gotcha feeling down.

[Willy Mammoth]

I pulled it out of the garage tonight and put it in low low, Wow it barley moves  600 rpm x 4:1 x 2.28:1 x 4.7:1 x 5.29:1= 26.3' a minute.

You should know all about viberations from a diesel with solid motor mounts.

oh duh

It's OK Glen

  it was a blonde moment

Time for an update.

I finally got the good air filter installed Friday before swimming in 4 feet of water on Saturday.

I cut the oil bath out and fitted a paper filter cartrage in to the housing.

This worked really well as the motor is still running.

[Willy Mammoth]

I also played with the injection pump today and increased the fuel rate. It really puffs black smoke now and has a little better pickup at slower speeds. At higher speeds it just pours black smoke, but doesn't have any more power for more speed.

I am making the exhaust manifold for the turbo. The flanges are done and I am going to take the manifolds off tomorrow to start building the exhaust manifold.

[Willy Mammoth]

Here is what it will look like as I start putting it together.
