Dyno big 3 canceled

[Notneb]

Hey guys, just wanted to start this thread just to let everyone know that the dyno that was happening with Mike at No Limit on the 28th will not be happening. For anyone not familiar, Jomax and I were going to dyno Sp@rtan, P!P and GH/AS tunes to get some firm numbers out to the PSA members.

Long story short I had to rush my GF to the emergency room last night, they did exploratory surgery and she's stable, but I'll be spending the duration of her hospital stay on a less than comfortable couch, lol.

To make matters worse, the exhaust block off plate where my EGR used to be, decided to come loose enough to cause a major boost/exhaust leak stranding my truck in the hospital parking lot! Gotta love Murphy's law... Anyways it's my own fault for doing a crappy mill job to the piece as it didn't quite fit *random production error, in no way is it No Limit's fault* so it lifted enough on the bolt to cause about a 1/16th gap on the back part. Here's a sh!tty pic for you:

As you can see, I'm not a master fabricator... but I did the best I could with a drill press and a lot of cussing... Hopefully Mike can get the part out today!

Sorry again guys, I know this has been planned for a month, but Murphy's Law seems to follow me around pretty hard core lately!

Shout out to Jomax for keeping me sane last night waiting on news, beers on me next time!

Update: Talking to Jomax he realized I have the wrong part. So what happened when I originally d3leted the truck, was I installed Midwest's Piping kit, which d3leted all the stock intake and IC piping, including one of the parts that requires that block off valve. So when I talked to No Limit *not Mike, can't remember who it was* I explained all the parts I was installing and had them send me the only parts I would need. Looks like we had a mix up in communication so the part that was supposed to go on the coolant block, went on my exhaust block. I didn't even think to call and ask, because I didn't even know that there was another block off plate.

So now I really look dumb! Lol, life is just piling it on right now...

I was wondering why that plate was where it was!!

Sorry to hear about all the troubles man....

 

[WHY NOT]

Hope your gf is all good man. Worry about the truck later.

 

[Notneb]

Yeah, I'd never taken the EGR off my 2012 due to smog *visual* checks in Seattle, so I had no idea that there was another damn near identical block off plate for the stock configuration.

What's funny is I've been talking to Mike over the last few months about replacing the plate, but we both get so busy that we forget, lol. The part never gave me issues so I just never really got around to replacing it. Thankfully it held together while I was pushing the throttle through the floor, really speaks towards No Limit products if a part that's not designed for pressure or heat, much less "redneck engineered" to fit , holds together in arguably the hottest/most boost that the engine has seen so far in it's life!

Thanks, meh the gf's ok, everything else is just an inconvenience!

Hope your gf is all good man. Worry about the truck later.

Thanks, she's high on morphine but seems ok, she's madder than I am about missing the dyno, she loves the truck more than me.

 

[CATDiezel]

So are you going to reschedule for the dyno?

 

[Notneb]

So are you going to reschedule for the dyno?

Yup, once she gets the green light from the Dr., I'll coordinate with Jomax and Mike. Luckily they only had to do a laparoscopy, so the recovery time is measured in weeks.

Hoping for a speedy recovery!

 

[Notneb]

Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Don't kill yourself about installing the wrong part. I'm sure all of us that works on our own trucks has done It, me included.

Like everyone said, GF first, trucks are just a bucket of bolts in the end.


As Mike said, the dyno will be another day, in which I'm looking forward to!
