P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[elkguide]

Before today i thought my rig was running just fine. It's hit 66 with no problem, maybe a tad slower than I wanted. After the filter change, this thing will fly! I could even tell the ecu was having to compensate for the extra air. After it warmed up and went into closed loop, it popped and carried on for a few seconds before clearing up. Now it revs freely and hits the rev limiter at 66 in no time.

66 MPH. Now wonder you're rolling up the miles!!!!!

That has nothing to do with it. I've had it maxed out less than 10 times since new. Most of my street cruising is in the 50-55mph range. Not too many straightaways in my neck of the woods. No swaybar remember? Lol.

Have you tried your new fan yet? Trying to decide to add another bilge fan or try the other. Rode for a while other night and my daughters feet in the back were toasted!

Ordered several sizes of nutserts (or rivet nuts whichever you prefer) to bolt my skid plate down with. Be here Tuesday. Another busy week under my machine.

Have fun with that. It was time consuming for sure.

Oh I'm sure. I had the tool for installing them but to be honest, the old bolt, nut, and 2 washers is a faster method. I never said I was looking forward to it lol. Tired of self tappers coming loose. Hey at least you have a lift. I'll be on my back lol.

My thoughts also. I rarely have people in the back. I had a a couple back there today and they said it was extremely hot. I wonder if the bilge blowers don't make it hotter in the backseat than before.

I would think that blowers do increase rear heat. It's pushing heat towards the rear.

I think we need to mount a couple of those 8" fans under your roof like ceiling fans.

What about poor ole Dimitri?? You know old people can't get overheated!! We fragile!!

Flat fan is mounted. No idea how well it'll work. Hopefully find out this week sometime. Installed quick disconnects for electrical so I can swap back to twin blowers under 5 mins easy.
