I drove it to work today. I saw 9PSI at 900 degrees uphill hard at 2500RPM, and 6 PSI at 700 degrees on flat road at 55. the guage reads 15 max, so it is just fine.

It is a mechanical pyro, that is, no electronics excep the meter and probe. No amplifier. I agree about the post-turbo readings. DrFoster has suggested that I may be reading 100 degrees high due to heat soak from the turbo because my probe is 2" from the turbo exhaust and therefore could go to...

Thank you very much! Since I bought some proper tools, it's made a difference in what I can do. I still have to paint it and I'll wait till I have a guage-illuminating lamp figured out. I thought it was just my eyes, sure the young soldiers in their 20's would have less of a problem seeing the...

Ok, for an update on the boost guage (using a fuel pressure guage for the boost).. As shown in my previous images, the pyro install included a pretty sloppy mounting job for the guage. I thought about a box like a few people have done, they are very nice looking. In the end, however, I'd like to...

I just re-read the article, and also the "racing the diesel" article as well. Thanks again for finding these! These are both very good technical marketing pieces with the emphasis on "technical" and offer alot of good info for those of use who are not diesel experts like Banks and other big...

Jeff, what is the pressure at which your low oil pressure light comes on?

Thanks, that is good news! I've got the good quality fuel hose, a brass "T" block with the threads to fit the manifold plug port. That way the flame detector can 'see through' the straight part of the block into the flaming area, and the "T" port on the side of the little block will go to the...

I bought a 0-15PSI autometer mechanical fuel pressure guage. pressure is pressure.. Can I use it for boost?

Check their "bargain basement" -a -250 - 0 - +50 amp meter. could be good for monitoring charge from the alternator into the batteries (0 to +50A) and discharge from the batteries (0 to -250A) Probably such high-current discharges would be short, such as when firing a directed energy weapon...

I ended up with 1/3 total turn (2 flats) and run 850 or so on the highway. Get to 900 on hills, it's hard to get it any higher, so I should be in the safe zone. If as you say putting it closer to the turbine exhaust makes the temp indicate higher than it is, I am in good shape. My main goal was...

I have no intention of going one turn, only the 1/6 turn I did. I'll get a feel for it over the next couple weeks.

Turned up the juice today. First, I did it wrong, and turned it down one flat (1/6 turn) and the beast wouldn't start! so i'm thinking crap i broke it.. but then recalled what I did, and went and turned it clockwise as viewed from the front. Total of 1 flat increase over the original setting...

Maybe we can rename the thread to trailers and turbos! That is a nioce looking panel. On the trailer,I like the size of it. have no place to park one that big. The M105 and other heavy duty trailers actual square feet available is disappointing considering how well they are made.

RE: trailer post-turbo install pics: http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/mil/m35/pyro/index.html I don't claim it's pretty, only that it works.

This morning I mounted a pyro 2" downstream of the turbo outlet. Is there a big difference between 6" and 2"? It was a bear removing the clamps and that short pipe, they have not been off since 1991. Got the nipple or whatever it's called TIG welded on, and put it back together. I pushed the...

That! is a nice rig. sorta reminds me of one I seen somewhere.. I ride a 4WD 4-wheeler.
