What would that be? 20-45 psi? Who knows.

With too much oil BB turbos spool worse than journal bearing turbos.

Failures from too much oil are because those balls dont roll anymore , they start to slide on top of oil film and then starts to vibrate , vibration at higher shaft speeds kills turbos very quickly.

For extrene shaft speeds journal bearings are better because oil dampens vibrations. Just need to keep backpressure in check so that you dont burn thrust bearings. Only benefit of ball bearings is they can take much higher thrust forces.

Maybe new Scania with 770 hp and

Can I get that with a hood with the engine under it or they all still stuck in the 1960’s as cabovers? I could remove a couple injectors and keep up with it or I could remove 3 and a turbo and run with your vulva.

We used to have cabovers Leiffi but just like living in caves we have evolved, maybe one day your country can too. Now guys run them as toys, like driving a Ford model T on weekends.

First were hoods , then came cabovers , so you have gone backwards like always.

But yes , you can have a hood , but it costs 50k extra because no one wants them.

Yes, this design is much better to work on. I guess you need short trucks when you can’t drive.

We only had cabovers because of length law, when it was gone so were the days of chit riding trucks. One day you might evolve.

770hp? Hell, even our little Kitty Cat made that...to the ground even. Faulkner's is just a bit more than that.

That’s only 400 euro horsepowers though. Everyone knows Finland rules the world in truck design and production, and let’s not forget the fine automobiles they build from the big 3 Finnish auto companies....oh wait they don’t build chit.

He thinks his euro chit rules the world and his entire country is 1/2 the size of Texas. So what’s big and popular there isn’t a drop in the bucket here.

Yeah, I always forget that. We just really suck over here. I think I'll call Rob and have him drop a Scania or Vulva in that Pete of ours!

I was in Finland in 2005...everyone I met was super friendly, so obviously I never met this cat.


I understand why they have cabovers, but his complete lack of ability to understand or accept that our conventionals have some advantages in this country is just him being a complete moron. Also, when the Eurotrash is better just because, also a complete moron. If it works, it works, I don't care how it looks or runs.

You need 190” wheelbase to get around with roads like this.

What about a stock 711hp 1991tq C13 Leiffi? Scania who? 400# heavier and 2 more pistons, what a joke.

[J-Pipes]

Seems accurate...

That’s the first thing fleet and drivers and Amish ask when they show up at our place. I just point towards town.

Good idea, no one can kill a toilet like a fat azz driver.

Sorry haven’t been around in a while lol

That setup in Manitoba would be good for 153,000 ish lbs. and on a couple major roads 156,500.

And then if I need more I’ve got a tandem jeep I can swap for the single. I haven’t moved any nine
Axles yet though.

Garrett is going to replace the turbo. It wasn't clearanced right.

And I suppose he’s going to do nothing about his high oil pressure issue?

It should be fixed already.
