We had the waste gate controller disconnected from the manifold pressure
    in the Motec software.

    This Motec stuff is so complicated and there is no good book
    on it. There is a real NEED!!!!!!! FOR A MOTEC BOOK.

    I am kind of surprised. I guess they wanted to make sure you hire
    one of their $75 an hour dealers.


    This is a 68 inch prop 50 pitch so it went to 6000 static at 55 inches of Hg

    We are really getting there now.

    More data shortly with the big prop.

    Imagine the 1.25 open hole is still in the exhaust manifold.

    The noise is amazingly painful.  Even with a turbo charger.
    Even with ear muffs. You have to press the ear muffs to your head
    and it still HURTS!!!!!!.

    No wonder my hearing is shot :-)

Congrats TTC Team, glad your moving down the home stretch...

Here is the big prop data. We are seeing 36 inches of HG at 40% throttle.
We need to run this test configuration  over at 100% throttle.

What is amazing is the water cooling system. The engine is barely getting
over body temperature :-) I am beginning  to think I over designed it.
This is the "hot" water out of the block. We may not need the spray bar.

Dan,
The smoke is coming from an oil leak on the turbo not in the turbo.
There are two nyloc nuts holding the oil feed fitting to
the top of the turbo shaft housing. Pete found one very loose.
All metal lock nuts of course :-)
