Had a great week at Bonneville!! Saw old friends, met new ones. Highly recommend all of you make an effort to check it out next year. Need more diesel heads!!
Our journey ended rather abruptly on Wednesday afternoon when a course worker came driving up asking "is this yours?", with a WRIST PIN in their hand...
Even with that, our week was pretty awesome. Fastest diesel truck of the meet (almost fastest diesel of the week!!), and first vehicle on planet earth (needs verification) to crack 200mph on 100% vegetable oil!!
Will fill in details later, just getting back to town and starting to unpack. Feel free to check out @greenspeedresearch and @gsrfab on Instagram for more pics, if you're into that kind of thing.
Have data, will share. Our initial thought is our problem started from a bad relay controlling the Intercooler water pump, which stopped working during our 207 mph run (peaked at 209). This led intake temps to go from 120ish to 300 really quick and EGT to spike up. Took a very close look at everything after this and decided to make another run. Things got pretty western at that point.
Don't know how to upload pics from phone, will do that later today/tonight.
