Where is everyone #5

Does duralite make one for your truck ? I push over 50 out of mine and never had one do that.

 

Knife porn! Is that the EveryDayCarry knife?

 

I’ll be over at Ohio cat in Girard. I’ll give ya the finger as you ride by.

 

No they don't, and I would never run a duralite if they did.
Yes, they make them stronger than OEM. But to make them stronger they use significantly thicker material. Sounds great, but the problem is that thicker material doesn't have nearly the cooling capacity. Warmer charge gas is;
A)Not as dense, so therefore not as must fO2
B)The less dense gas doesn't compress as much to final pressures pre-ignition, therefore there is less adibiatic heating of the charge mix, not having optimal temps for proper combustion.
As diesel engines have migrated from CDI to PCCI to HCCI combustion processes, the ECM's have injection timing programmed to more and more precise controls based on expected charge gas temps and densities.
I read too much...

 

The pistons with the 1.02" wrist pins sucked. Also, the some of the III and early IV series 60 pistons were notorious for the breaking an ear off of the steel crown and shattering the skirt and scoring a liner.

If you didnt catch it in time, it would be total annihilation of the block via a connecting rod through the side.

 

The problem is, if you don’t figure it out as a kid, you will have to play catch up for the rest of your life.

If you want a house, car, toys, wife and kids in your 20s, you have to start working towards these things as a teen. If you want a quality girl, you have to be a stable, goal oriented guy.

I said Quality Girl. Not one of those stupid bum magnets that get dragged through the mud in her twenties and finally gets tired of struggling in the muck in her mid thirties, but now she got mental issues and emotional damage and kids who hate the world.

 

More boost does not necessarily mean more power. Boost pressure isn't the number to look for, volume of the turbine is far more important. An engine with a turbo that moves the same volume of air, but at a lower psi will outperform the same engine with a higher pressure turbo.
First, it makes less adibiatic heat pre CAC, so its easier to cool, making higher charge density and fO2. Second, the turbo won't have near as much lag as it doesn't require as much back pressure to push the exhaust side of the wheel. The less required energy to push the exhaust side means easier expulsion of exhaust gasses, so less parasitic loss. The lower pressure doesn't create nearly the stress on the components.
The Final CR is the important factor. Cranking more boost pressure into the engine creates higher FCR, if no other components were changed. Everything must then handle more stress BTDC, which will highlight weaknesses, as demonstrated in the mentioned engines. With the excess forces at play, the pistons "locked" to the con rods, and when the crank rolled over TDC, the piston skirt load would slam from one side of the skirt & cylinder to the other, thus snapping the pistons.
All else being equal, increasing boost pressures should require some timing retardation to compensate for proper combustion.

 

I think we're going to need to fire up the @stwik teleportation device this tarp job...

 

I remember that.
