    During the dyno run you can literally see the air filter element moving during hard acceleration like the engine is trying to breathe through a tiny straw! Definitely a major air inlet restriction! Good call on going with the open element filter. Way better than the previous restrictive setup!

    This may have already been stated by someone else, but as I watched your initial runs, the intake tubes would move abruptly at around the 5K RPM mark--at first I thought you had some sort of dynamic motor mounts, but then realized the rest of the motor wasn't really moving. I think this also supports your theory as to restrictive air draw. It was as if the air filters hit their limit and then the boxes would deflect simultaneously under that kind of max vacuum. Hope you had fun in Indy--I'm a former Wheaton guy but was born in Indy and am a huge motorhead--you are living the dream buddy. Best, PK Pilcher

    Watching you over the years has been amazing! To watch you become more knowledgeable after every show, to watch you tear apart complete engines; V12 or otherwise and then put them back together again, to watch your total fearless approach to all things mechanical and I mean ALL THINGS has been truly wonderful and inspirational to watch and learn from!! You have such a fantastic personality, mind set, work ethic, moral code and boundless integrity that you should be required viewing for all folks wondering what they want to do in life. To see all your hard work pay off as the number of fans and subscribers grow close to a million and that this fact has led & allowed you to purchase dream cars and fix them all to levels only dreamt about years before. You’re an inspiration to so many, myself and my son included, and I wish you continued success knowing that you will continue to grow in both knowledge and business acumen. I’m 75 years old and you will outlive me by many years and it is with much regret that I will miss watching your continued success on your show and in other avenues of success as they open up to you. Good luck my friend even though you don’t need it as you have everything you need to obtain phenomenal success!!!

  • @speedtweaked2540
    @speedtweaked2540 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Noticed the intakes moving a lot in the higher RPM so I focused on the y-coupler on the throttle body and it was collapsing which is what was causing the engine to fall on its face. Obviously removing the air filters created less of a restriction but the coupler collapsing is the main issue. Since it’s doing it with the hood open the coupler isn’t heated up as much so with the hood closed that will make it much softer and will collapse even easier.

    I was at the 2008 Indy MotoGP race and it rained like crazy. I remember being blown away (not literally) by the jet dryer trucks. Didn’t know they were a thing, at the time. Was really impressed how fast they dried the track.

      ​@LC's Garage I can tell you why some manufacturers don't have access to the fuel pump. It's because they want you to bring them to the dealerships better know as steelership.

    Enjoyed that, love the E55, and always enjoy seeing Travis's love for the Australian cars I grew up on. That VE ute reminds me of one I owned, was a bit older but also black and had those same GTO wheels on it. And going to Indy must have been a fantastic experience. Hope you had a great weekend!

    Looking at the piping that goes up to the intake manifolds, it looked on the first and second Dyno runs like the pipework was moving, when it cut out, could it be that there's some tubing that's collapsing under the vacuum? That would cause the cut out and the rich running. Just a thought. Though I'm sure you've figured this out already - cos you guys a bloody legends!
