start of the new build

[popcorn popper]

Ah but what if he keeps burping the throttle as he rides to build boost ? Ah it's getting oiled?? Not really that hard to figure Bingo!!

Yep, always knew that but I wouldn't do that to mine. Do you even own a turbo and know how to drive one? Glad to know that your estimation of the lubrication needed is somewhat different that the engineers that tested and developed their requirements.

 

[popcorn popper]

Don't own one and never will! But have been around the odd engine! It is surprising to me how two guys are so knowledgable about someone else's stuff!! Fred doesn't like to argue but I do!Ive got a few builds under my belt and understand fully what the oil requirements are otherwise I wouldn't be arguing!

Now Look here just one minute !! Were here to help Fred ! :dI agree with Deh Popper that will work and Deh Popper knows the know ! I am glad Fred is running good now! I may have to go out with him and poach his track to see if he is not over cheating!

 

[fredw]

I will stay out of the oiling buttle, but seen it first hand work, but not over the course of a year... out last few days and all well again at 5lbs, 60mph on the display or 69mph corrected, straight pump fuel...

 

[fredw]

how would one go anywhere with you with out a little cheating

out the last three days in fernie, over 120 liters used, had some sweet new snow and sunny days, found a few hills that needed a few attempts to make and was finally able to look at gauges, seen a/f at 12.5 .... ran pump fuel and had strong track speeds...................time to turn up boost FILE0023 - YouTube

How's your summer going Farmer FredW? You do any changes to your toboggan over the summer? Any plans for this upcoming season?

 

[fredw]

Been in combine mode for last month and will still be for a while, plans are to add snow/air this fall to turbo sled and enjoy it, was running well this spring

Would like to carbon the 880 as well this fall and try a new skid under it
we have to get out a few times this year as well

What's your plans for the new season

 

[E-Zmoke]

Figured you would be stuck inside the tractor eating cheesies and dreaming of winter...

Yah looks like you had her dialed in the last few vids.

I'm just doing some cosmetics this year no major changes, might change skids also but so far just a chromoly bumper, powder coating some parts. Put on some new A Arms in the off season. Next will be some decal work and she's basically ready to ride

 

[fredw]

Looking for machinist to make me a few titanium jack shafts.... Any one know who would do this, local machinist don't do titanium

 

[pistonbroke800]

MVM machining in Calgary works with titanium all the time. 403 236 8666 Steve Vetter is the guy to talk to. Hopefully they can help you out

 

[fredw]

Well put order in today for carbon chassie from c3 for the bb880, c3 also sending out carbon fibre gauge and shroud holder for turbo sled... Let the fun begin

ordered two titanium jack shafts

 

[pistonbroke800]

Are you getting the shafts through MVM? Just curious because I get them to build downhole tools for me. Might be able to get a titanium jackshaft from them on the cheap.

 

[fredw]

no they were not sure if they could, I found a guy in California that thinks it can be done, let you know if it can happen, building me a few titanium helixs I hope as well

received the 880bb, from splitsecond today, new crank and cylinders for this year

 

[deaner]

Holy cow you must have an understanding wife!

 

[fredw]

received carbon fiber hood from c3...fit and finish is as good as it gets, came with venting and led light and compared to stock parts removed it was 9lbs lighter

well the turbo project is winding down and other than a few minor jobs and snow/air installed we hope to have a reliable year with it..

should have carbon chasie in nov for the 880 build and plan to do a few things different and hope to be lighter than this build

 

[deaner]

So what do you figure you ended up at for wieght on this one?

 

[fredw]

ordered a digital lift scale today so I will grab a few pictures soon...

put on a 40mm wide chain case belt over stock c3 35mm, hoping for less stretch and longer belt life
