This is for a turbo charged diesel 4 stroke engine in a marine application. This is from the outside of the engine room to the turbo.
The calculations I am coming up with using a k values for the bends is obnoxiously high. I want to figure out the psi increase through the 3 different styles...
Man my schooling has failed me. I am trying to build a spread sheet that encompass the about of restriction a 45 and 90 degree elbow will place in an intake system. I have the engine intake air velocity and all the variable but for the life of me I can not get a number that makes sense. The...
Dgallup:
The legislature failed to get the 2 stroke banned, but you are right on the emiissions issue.
ETEC has received the highest rating from the EPA for an outboard engine. Ultra-Low Emissions status.
The only thing Ficht and ETEC have is common is computer controlled direct injection...
The Evinrude ETEC is the most modern 2 stroke set-up. They are not forced inducted but achieve better fuel economy and emission standards than their 4 stroke counter parts. These engines are not FICHT engines but a new design (obviously with lessons learned from FICHT)
The big issue now is...

yeah, the trouble with the internet ... once it's there, it's there for good "
...but if Al Gore invented the internet, can't he just delete all this so he can continue to profit from it?

All have mentioned great answers. I will add one more. If doing government work, it is highly favored.

Really rough guess here but are you loosing electrical current into the boat? Maybe a bad bilge pump wire.
I know that can do it quick, just something to check.

It could be an over running clutch system, we use similar systems in some products at work. With the drop at the wheel I would guess this is what it is.

I was in the same boat.
Wife and kid on the way at 28.
Graduated when I was 31.
It actually helped when I interviewed!!! A few places looked at it as a negative and you could see it when they were looking at me, but most looked at it as a positive. You have the ability to work. Most kids...
PS.
cibachrome's response is very accurate. The only point of contention is the OEM's knowledge.
Every single point was a problem to overcome in the project. We did an SUV vs a sports car.
I think it would qualify as a Buick.

GregLocock, I didn't realize that I insulted anyone in my post. I just tried to give a quick synopsis and a point of contact for information without writing a diatribe. I tend not to give long explanations without data. Hence the "I don't have my notes." The only facts given was the OEMs...
GregLocock is right, you have changed the architecture completely. If you did a block-under-spring style lift you are completely out of luck. That style of Jeep does not do well over 1.5" without complete suspension re-work.
Simplest solution would be to drop it back to 1.5" over factory and...
Contact Jesse Black Ph.D. student at Clemson University. I was on a research project with him and we did all of this. I would give more info but I do not have my notes available. Truth is the OEMs know very little about "feel." We did synthesize it accurately in a drive sim we built. There...
Was this on a Honda Dual Sport? I know there was a recall a few years ago due to a poor batch of forks.
Not a very engineering answer but the point is that the issue was known.
