First strawberry frost night when it's running under heavy load all night I'll know. I expect to see efficiency gains in high load not as much low. Not much boost at like.... 1600RPM. My EGR is running the vent tube into the intake line... sealed with JB weld. Works perfectly

That's the funny part... it glowed before the turbo but not now. Previous owner probably cranked up the fuel so now with a turbo it's correct. I don't want super high EGT because this likley doesn't have piston cooling jets. Very successful build. Perkins are beasts anyways

No that's well below danger. It's not but it's ran many hours before this so I'll definitely be able to tell when I get using it more. Always scares me when my experiments work that well

Too early in the season to tell. I'll know once we start watering more. I suspect it will get most gains at higher load

Last winter I turbo charged my perkins 6354.4... Basically because google told me incorrectly that by it's serial number that it had a turbo from factory. Once I realized that I just got a few extra guages to make sure I don't cook anything. There aren't a ton of differences between the 2...

Btw turns out my exhaust pipe is too restricted, too small. Leave the end of the turbo strait open and it screams. I need a bigger exhaust pipe because obviously I have back pressure issues

I know the Irving nearby has diesel but no DEF, I have never seen a DEF pump in NS Canada it would be interesting if theres any near me

True although I have never seen a DEF pump around here anywhere

That's some crazy RPM, I'm going to take off the outlet pipe for a test to see if the turbo is too big and can't spool to the efficiency zone. Also need to find a way to fix the couple leaks. Hardest part is finding the source, the engines cooling fan moves so much air I can't feel a little...

So improved air quality.... well that's good but that can be done with just a well tuned modern diesel without fancy stuff correct? Even just a high pressure rail.... Seems that we really don't know if it's helpful to the environment as a whole or just makes us feel better

They weren't high before, but now they are what I would call cool. Why would this happen? Great side effect though. Now I just wish I had more boost.... I have a few very small exhaust leaks pre-turbo... can't imagine that doing much because they are so small you can't feel them just see them...

Lets avoid any politics but I am genuinely curious if any emissions systems are actually better for the environment. Some seem maybe and some I can't see how.... I am genuinely curious of this. For example my forklift is just an expensive fuel filter and otherwise nothing weird to cause...

Will do thanks!

We have been fixing up this old white 2-105 tractor and bit by bit we're getting everything buttoned up. New issue though, when you put the 3 point down it just comes back up when you let go of the lever and so does the lever... why is this? Otherwise it's a good tractor, old stuff was so...

Weird side effect, my EGT went down... it wasn't too high before but yea it went down. Yeehaw for unexpected positive side effects

It evens out to basically neutral when things warm up, perfect

I don't find alot of oil makes it out the vent tube, I set it up and it puts a noticeable but not excessive vaccume on the case

It's a water pump, it dosen't move unless I'm towing it to another spot so running roll overs are a non issue haha. In my case I just have it blowing into the inlet of the filter housing. So it won't put much suction on the crank housing but it'll deal with the vapors while still allowing an...

So yea..... fixing the vent was definitely a big help haha. I also am lucky my valve cover has another spot for a vent that's capped and 2 smallspots with caps that I'm not sure what optional things they are for.... so if I needed more venting I don't have to use the fill cap spot. I may just...

So turns out the old crankcase hose had collapsed and the engine could barely vent.... so that's easy to solve. We actually caused the blowby.... when we attached the water pump we forgot to remove a spacer and it jammed the crank forwards putting a ton of sids force on atleast some of the...
