Re: Anyone know how to design a gasketed joint?
Ray tossing all those ideas around. A lot of it will be dictated by packaging size. I would love to fit an intercooler between the screws and the intake. There's not enough room for one between the turbos and screws, I know that much fo sure already, but, I plan on spraying methanol/water into the a...

Re: Anyone know how to design a gasketed joint?
the snails will raise the blower pressure, but, here is where it gets weird. The snails are compressive, meaning they pressurize the air as it passes through, while the screws are volumetric, meaning they simply move whatever pressure is applied to them, and rely on the backpressure of the downstrea...

Anyone know how to design a gasketed joint?
Am putzing with the blowers again, and, am trying to make them a bit more user friendly to install and work on this time around. There were two reasons I took them off last time: The belt jackshaft drive mechanism, and, the installation and removal of the blowers themselves. I've figured out a bette...

Re: Cost of power steering conversion?
ever get your thumb caught in the wheel's spoke whenyou hit a bump or rut off road and the wheel suddenly makes a couple of revolutions? It sucks. Almost sprained my thumb that way. Vowed it would have powered steering after that experience. And yes, the Humvee leaves a lot to be desired, we can all...

Re: Cost of power steering conversion?
welcome to the board. I did my PS system for about $300, but, I made several parts myself, and rebuilt all the components myself with parts store rebuild kits. Take your time, and pay attention to what you're doing and you can rebuild the box and pump quite easily. Any heaxy truck shop in your area ...

Re: Tires
if you have money to throw out the window, the new Wrangler MT/R is supposed to be an awesome tire as well. The 17" rim makes them unpractical for most though.

Re: Project: Old Guard - lots of pictures
Lookin good Ray!
Something to consider, which I am sure you're already aware of:
you'll want to drill out that mount cast into the bottom of the 205 and rubber mount that too to help keep that beast from twisting whenyou feed all that torque into it.

Re: Tires
Lifer is right. That is why I went with the Michelins. The Super Swampers are road legal in the loosest of terms; I actually am surprised that the DOT registered them. They were originally intended to bomb around off road, and these guys running them under their lifted F450 dually diesels with 1K ft...

Re: Brake lines
Go with John, VPWs shipping is outrageous, and John is quick, friendly, and sells good stuff.
As mine is all custom, I had to do my own brake lines, and trust me, it's not fun. I even spent the extra money and got the high end tubing and tools to make my life easier.

Re: Tires
No idea if he is still in the game, but there used to be a guy in Wisconsin that sold Michelin take offs very reasonably. I happened to find his number on my desk the other day, so, good timing for you (couldn't for the life of me find it when I was trying to buy my set of Michelins!). Number is: 71...
