Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 0 plate picture

[NHays]

Does anybody have a picture of a "0" plate.

 

[wildmanben]

its just a flat plate.

 

[Cooker]

its just a flat plate.

He may be trying to get an idea of just how much material to take off, assuming he wants to grind his own #0.



Not all #0 plates are the same.

I run a #10BD plate right now, and am really happy with it. I cut my stock plate down a long time ago, I just wanted to know what the profile was of a 0 plate looked like. Does any plate have a fueling curve that is cut behind the actual leading edge of the top of the plate. Like if the plate was squared off from the top down, and then you have a crescent shaped curve that is cut deepest about an 1/8 of an inch behind the top edge.

I ground one like you mentioned and found that the motor ran smoother than my #10 she pulled good but it never had quite the aggression of the #10. I ended up using my # 10 again. Maybe when I get a better turbo I will try it again as I think she dumps a lot more fuel.

Nhays:



For the best MPG and smoke prevention, try making a #100 plate, which I believe is almost like a #10, except the upper portion closer to the screw holes is ground flat like the middle of the plate. That fuels low on the low rpms, but gives it the juice past that.



When I upgrade my turbo I will be doing that. (I have a homeground #10 also)

a 100 plate is they way to go, ive got it in my truck and i love it, granted ive got alot of fuel, more than i can burn properly, it does very good smoke on the bottom, but makes day turn to night on top

Yes, some plates are cut deeper.

I designed and built the first 10, 0, and 100. Dimensions are important, and pictures aren't exact enough to duplicate them well.

Which one of these plates will give the highest PEAK HP?

would you be interested in sharing the measurements for the 100? I work in a machine shop so I could cut it myself

Ah, Wonderful, just what I needed. Thanks

 

[NHays]

Now I have a plate sitting on my toolbox that has a half moon shape cut in it. If you start with a 0 plate and cut back a half moon shape to where the deepest part of the cut is at the end of the last Zero is on the "red = 100", what kind of plate would that be.

If your gonna cut a plate that deep, there is no point in running a plate.



Im not even sure that the pic of the #0 listed would act as a rack stop if slid full foward.

Ditto ... as a matter of fact, PDR took off my pump & had the pump shop tweak it with the #0 in it. Optimum fueling was back some from full forward.

Cool, Thanks, I will stick with my 10 plate and leave it alone, I am finally getting about 18MPG. Did not want to switch plates anyways, just wanted to figure out what this one was, I just threw it away.

 

[pwerwagn]

Ive heard of another method of setting a plate up for position. Seems some folks put some sort of marking compound on the plate, and go run it WOT, then check and see if the gov lever was traveling smoothly up the plate. If not, move, remark and check again.

anyone ever heard of this???

FWIW - I found a pic of a TST #0 and it does not look like the green one in the picture. It appears to be cut deeper.

 

[pwerwagn]

You are correct, the TST #0's (the ones designed by Joe D) are not cut like the green one in the pic... .

and the 100 in the pic isnt the same as a true 100 either.
