helped my friend do the evry mod on his tdi beetle last night.. very surprised with the results. pours smoke pretty nice

Pouring smoke under boost means he's not doing it right. Smoke does not mean power.

i think it just has something to do with how the mod works.. once the boost builds up enough it stops smoking. in a very nonscientific test we measured a 0-60mph time of ~10sec, my friend said it was closer to 13-14 before.

the mod consist of bridging a potentiometer across 2 pins on the fuel harness.

here's something from a tdi forum

"...what is happening is that the 10-pin connector (joining the main wire from the ECU to the Injection Pump) is being hot-wired into producing a different voltage, which alters or magnifies the ECU's signal in a similar manner that a Tuning Box does. This increases the amount of fuel the injection pump pushes and advances the timing..."

You probably trick the engine into thinking it gets more air that it actually getting. Stupid mod and no way it will shave 3-4 sec off the 0-60 time. It will overfuel whenever he's off-boost. Hello high EGTs.

Retune, bigger injectors nozzles, bigger intercooler (stock one is a joke) and bigger exhaust for starters. Now that's how you would go about modding a TDI, not with a resistor.

What he said. Not to mention black smoke (aka soot) is toxic to the lungs and the environment.

but it smells delicious

You enjoy the smell of diesel fuel?

Thanks I will give that a try on the next video.

A well tuned diesel should make none, or at least very little off-boost

The diesel we had, made no visible black smoke unless you really stepped on it, and even so it wasn't a huge death cloud.

yup; black smoke = wasted money flooding out the tailpipe

We went for 80's in the days down to the 60s 2 days ago. Not fun.

Im loving this weather.

SPL comp next weekend, this means all next week I'll be chasing 1 extra dB.

Gotta lay the smackdown from time to time

Adrian is that you driving the Kenworth?

I'd definitely drive one of those

The way it sounds and moves...MOTHER OF GOD !

And that thing is probably a workhose during the week.

actually i love the smell of gasoline but not diesel fuel or smoke for that matter.

i love helping friends work on stupid little projects, mainly because it not my shit getting broke and not me spending money haha.

meh, got some work to do on my car. tps and cam sensor.. might do plugs while im at it.

I just used the quickrete quick mix, just add water.

Drop one 60lb bag in wheelbarrow, slash a cross, flip bag over, pull up from sides and the bag will split in two emptying out. I did two bags to a wheelbarrow (otherwise I'd probably spill the shit moving it across the front yard to back yard).

Then had a spray gun type handle on the end of the water hose. Spray, lightly mix concrete around with hoe, push all concrete forward in wheelbarrow, spray more water into bottom (like a little lake), then start pulling down concrete mixing with hoe until the large puddle starts to thicken.

Then keep pulling down more concrete and adding water. Spray the wheelbarrow between each run, it'll help keep the concrete from sticking on the bottom.

The key is just to mix the shit a lot, get rid of any dry spots where it's still powder, and have a hose right next to where your mixing.

I'm certainly no pro but it worked for what I was doing. Just a small slab to go under a work table in the backyard.

Ah, I am pouring a sink/countertop and mixing the sand, rock and portland cement AND color which means I have to mix the living shit out of it. I don't own a wheel barrow either and have to have a big enough container to do it in one pour. Was hoping you had something clever that would relay to that Thanks though.

Good turn out tonight! I was able to get a couple shots and plan on uploading them tomorrow.

Sweet, I'll look out for'em.

Funny question, do you guys ever use chainsaws?

I remember going through a haunt once and one of the guys ran through the public crowd with a chainsaw. I swore it was real but seems like that would be such a liability, like if he tripped, "Oh shit, sorry I just cut off your fucking head bro."

Used one this morning Then took the kiddos in the boat.

As for your need, just take the chain off.

Yes we have a chainsaw, but there is no chain on it. The actor who carries it is 6'8" and scares the shit out of everybody.

I should have read further down. I could be that acto

For 1.7 mil you'd think you'd get a better "cockpit"

Interior is ugly IMO

No shit, its a GM.

That hit the Malibu forum a few days ago, but of course there is a Malibu Corvette boat that is WAY better looking.

I would advise you to get a concrete mixer in that case. I despise mixing concrete and would rather buy it ready for pouring or hire a mixer. Life is so much easier with a mixer.

My uncle did exactly that. Counter tops and sinks in bathrooms. Also built his entire house, super modern.

Ill ask him today and see what he says.

Portable mixer is your best bet; pour in the ingredients, turn it on and let it eat. Kinda like making a smoothie in a VitaMix Getting rid of the air is a bit of a pill also, best way I've seen besides a shaker table is to take a a bladeless Sawzall against the outside of the form until the bubbles stop forming.
