3406b questions

Way easier to do a decent paint job before it’s put back on.
Gets better mpgs too!

 

look better now??
What a mess

much better now

and since ford puts their engines in crooked the easiest way to accommodate is lean the truck the other way and let the engine hang straight

and fml some how we were off a couple inches on the front mount

 

cross member problem solved

it fits better than expected Even hauled a load with it today
I don’t miss that m11 even one bit Now why is there a small oil leak at this threaded hole?
Everything else is dry as a bone

 

Just mostly curious here…
I have more power than the m11 but more is always better lol
I can get 17 psi boost at 1500 rpm odly it won’t get above that…almost like it’s a gate turbo ( definitely not)
Boost comes on reasonably fast till around 15 psi and builds the last bit slower. Turbo I think has a 1.85 ar exhaust housing it’s a cat don’t know the number though.
Fuel pressure under load is around 30 I didn’t have a snubber on the gauge so kinda hard to tell
Egt with a temp gun is around 650
That removable doghouse has occasional advantages… don’t have a pyro in it right now.
Seems to me it just needs more fuel
There’s no smoke after 10 psi boost and the aneroid is disabled

 

I tried adjusting it until there were no threads left…it made a little smoke and would spool the turbo much faster. Made very little if any difference on total boost. I put a socket under the cover to hold the stem forward. Maybe that is not enough or doing what I think it is. I did test it with a t, ball valve and a pressure gauge it would take 1/2 hour or so to leak off from 25 psi and there was very little volume of air in it. I would think that would be sufficient

 

The throttle is breaking over…I did have some trouble with that at first when I switched engines.
I have not had the back of the pump off but I do know the timing advance is working ( only tested with a pulse timing light) but that will tell it’s working just maybe not to much accuracy
