I wish we could talk more in terms of foot pounds of torque and where in the rpm range. That is the measurement of force that is really getting the work done on this truck.
@Ezrider3593 жыл бұрын
That's kinda a loaded statement. Hp is a mathematical formula of tq/rpm. Same horsepower will pull a grade at the same speed but less tq will be in a lower gear. Average power across the curve has a lot more to do with how two engines will perform different at the same horsepower. But that relationship of tq/hp and how it relates to performance could almost be a 20 min video all in itself
@Ezrider3593 жыл бұрын
Any time you increase HP in the same rpm range you are also increasing torque
@GNX1573 жыл бұрын
It would just be nice to hear the torque this thing puts out and what the increase would be from your mods. I’m more impressed by the torque numbers on any engine, and how flat the curve is.

Its a Bosch inline 6 and I do know its underfueled big time because I get about 20mpg on a 20.000lb bus. (Sounds great, but no...it has no uphill power at all). But one thing at a time...still have to find a leak..and then modify the brake cylinders. I have a hunch its one or both of them...and these brake cans look nothing like on a US rig...theyre like 18-20 inches long, and 8 inches round. Huge things...Why couldnt I get a 359? Why? lol

I adjusted idle at pt pump, I've turned down 3 times, and each time idle at 600 then jump up, adjusted again, idle at 500 then jump up on its own, adjusted again, idle at 500 and jump up to 1300 rpms, i can shut truck off, start up and idle at 600, then 20 seconds it jumps up to 1300 on its own and stay right thier.
