Finally more air, HX40 is in !!

[pwknapp]

Put a PDR HX40 with a 16cm waste-gated and what a difference! I was definitely starving for air at 7300'. Even told the wife the truth about it. She also understands it will make a good start on twins when funds allow. I've heard all the pros and cons of the HX40 but decided to go that route with a Piers unit.

Many thanks to Reb Brown in Riverdale, CA for sharing his knowledge and selling me everything needed to do the install.



Also found the flapper on the exhaust brake was partially closed. Would of never thought to check this before. The PDR35 has been an awesome and tough unit for the last 10k. Temps are down 150-350deg depending on situation. Finally some air at elevation. Can't wait to go for a good run over some of the passes.

26. 5* :--) ... ... what plate are you running?

 

[pwknapp]

The plate was cut by Scheid Diesel when they did my pump. Essentially it is a straight vertival cut with a ramp about 1/3 the way up from the bottom. I have a #10 sitting in the glove box waiting to go in this next week.



I want to get the timing turned down to @ 18 or so as soon as I can. Need to take a day off and run down to see Jason at Bakers Diesel in Ogden.

Howdy Paul, I bet the timing that high hurts your teeth! Heck I've never even tried it that high.

No toothache here. When I got the motor in and picked it up from Clint @ ATS he went for a ride with me and said they bumped up the timing to where it ran the best with the cam and head they had done for it. I want to turn it down some and see what the results are.
