gruntguru You might try digesting what the OP said in his original post. "We then drop the engine to 1900rpm, no load, increase the load, and we find we can only reach about, say, 325 Nm until the engine speed starts to drop off."
This points to precisely what I outlined.
Assuming you are lowering the no load speed to 1900 by backing off on the throttle, you have not stated what you do with the throttle as you apply more load. I'm not highly familiar with that particular pump, but some will not reach full fuel on part throttle. I believe catserveng is spot-on in...
You might take a look from the other side, where these concerns have been thoroughly addressed. For heavy use, nothing compares to a remote reservoir. These are used around the world for just what you are doing, Dakar, Baja, and a whole lot more.

If you need something robust, you might look into flipping one of the many Dana high-pinion front 4WD axles. When placed at the rear, the pinion will be toward the bottom and turning the wheels the right direction. The gears and bearings will be fine, but the axle housing will likely need to be...
Just wondering if anyone has heard of or experienced separation issues with any of the new push-to-connect hydraulic fittings? Also wondering how to approach something like this if it were to happen more than one or two times with the same type but different sizes and pressures. Being in a...
We had a large purchase of large vehicles with Brand X Diesels in them. The OEM turbo blades were ceramic, and very responsive. In this case the desired response was less puff, not more pull, but the requirement is the same. Two problems came with the improvement. One was very definite...
We measure this constantly on all of our on-road Diesels that have exhaust particulate traps. There is a high temp 1/4" ID braided line about 30" long that runs from the exhaust pipe to a small, chassis mounted pressure switch manifold.
A torque converter can multiply torque up to 2.5 times. The actual amount is dependant on many variables but you can count on a minimum of 2x. Whatever shock a torque converter can absorb under normal conditions will be nullified by being in a high-stall situation and using a trans-brake...
A majority of high performance single cylinder motorcycle engines have separate ports and separate head pipes. These often converge into a single pipe about midway between the cylinder head and muffler.
Assuming the deflection is always the same direction, you could insert a solid or hollow bar that is fastened on its first end relaxed and its second end with preload. If well thought out, it could be simple, cheap, and failsafe.
The spacing and lateral location of the balls on the new uprights, as viewed from front or rear, will have to be a close match to the Mustang II'S. Otherwise you will have problems getting the wheels statically aligned, keeping them dynamically aligned, and keeping axle plunge under control...
