Who's better than you to have the engines sound just as cool shutting down as the do spooling up!

Again -amazing job. Hope the rest of the install and testing goes well for you.

We all could have used a couple glasses (maybe even a couple bottles) Saturday night as well.:cool-smiley-011:

Thank you for your Support!

Once I get the N2 tach working on starboard we
will get some video of how the caliper functions to stop
the rotor and actualy make a shift.

I think this should be pretty cool to see!

Stay tuned.

casale is very much in business. Gear sets should be no problem.

[QUOTE=KNOT-RIGHT;2416887]Ron removed the ps belt before ignition.

These are the Aeromotive fuel pumps. Nothing to do with Turbines. Kinda acts like a lift pump in a deisel truck.
They were mounted down in the bildge below tanks when
I ran the Blower motors. I had to move them . Too close to
Turbine exhaust. They are now above the tanks by a foot
and will not hold prime. I ordered some -10 aeromotive
check valves. Will try them.

Gerry did you get the check valves ?? i have a few brand new in the boxes # 10 that were too small for mine .let me know if you need em and i'll shoot them out to ya :cool-smiley-011:

KNOT-RIGHT 01-30-2008 09:34 AM

Damm brother!............. I freakin got them already.
Thank you for the offer dude!

I,m running the Aero2000 drag pumps.
These are what fed the PSI blower motors.
I didnt require any check valves. I mounted them low in the bildge. If you removed the feeds to them they would have actually siphoned the fuel from the tanks.

They are no longer in that position. They are now above the
tanks approx a foot. After having conversations with Aeromotive they recomended the ck valves.
They are in, However we still had a holding prime issue
with port.


Thanks once again for the OFFER Man!
