Tire speed is only an issue in mud. Not normal wheeling.
Traction and torque are king.

And some snow conditions.

I'll agree traction and torque are key in wheeling, but so is horsepower, you are not always going to get the good traction, and will need some wheelspeed.

Really Josh I would like for you to explain how exactly you accomplished what you did so the rest of us could understand......one more question I have for you. How do you turn the sbc in question off?
QUOTE]

I have kinda tried to explain.

How do we shut it down? It's still running outside... it's like a solid fuel rocket, it goes until it's out of fuel... OR would you like to hear that it's mechanical injection and fuel is cut with a big ass valve? :;

But, no it's EFI with a crank trigger ignition, so it's pretty basic.

This may all be a major thread hijack but it's nice to have some real tech discussion here.:awesomework:

I agree! I love good tech and this has DEFINETLY spun out of control! :rolleyes: BUT that's one of the reasons I like this board, there is usually some good local tech mixed in here. :awesomework:
 
But seriously, do think that an hx35 turbo (from a 5.9l Cummins) can make 35PSI on a 5.9l diesel, but not 15, 20, 25, 30 or 35 PSI on a gas engine? Do you think the same turbo can do any of that on a 4 cylinder under 2.5l? Not trying to be a ****, I'm just wondering what you think. Thanks, Josh.

It's not a loaded question. If you turn it off by cutting ignition only then it must not be preigniting because the spark is no longer required to keep it running. If you shut it down by cutting fuel then it could be preigniting.

Na, we cut spark.

I don't know that much specifically about different turbos so I don't know. My argument is the specifics of a gasoline/ air mixture and what happens when it's compressed too far. It doesn't matter if it's compressed by a turbo or a giant jumping up and down on a can of gas the principals are the same just the outcome is different.

Oh, I just figured I'd see what you said because that's what I run on a 2.3l Ranger motor and it runs killer. I have a 255lph fuel pump, a Quarter Horse tuner and of course an intercooler. 12-14psi all day long on pump gas.

Then again I'm guessing that at idle it doesn't have all that boost so it probably would turn off just fine.......

There's a load of **** if I ever saw it. :haha: Go climb 5 fingers at Naches or any of the shale faces at Rimrock at an idle and see how far ya get. I'll hit them with some gusto and be waiting for you at the top.

Ever put a wide band O2 sensor on the SBC? What's the AFR?

Between 12 and 12.5 under boost. every now and then it dips into the 11's, but that's pretty fat. It's been a few years since it's been together. The owner has just been SUPER BUSY.

Yup! boost comes on at 3,000 if you're in it, or you can spin it clear up to 5,500-6,500 and stay out of the boost if you're gental... but then what's the point! :redneck:

If the car is under boost you're breaking the law because you're either sideways or speeding! :redneck:

I crawl the right line on 5-fingers...gets a little loose toward the top, but not bad...what's so hard about that???:D Wet on the other hand....fugetaboutit!:haha:
 
Wow, this thread blew up...looks like I need to do a little splitting up.(Just gotta figure out how!!! :redneck:)
