A brick on the throttle pedal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brick on the throttle pedal? I can lift the idle no worries mate The 6 x 6 banks of LTO's will go a long way in buffering the alts anyway , we have ran more power / current demands on less and been fine knocking all day As the system fires out the back doors it will only be in use when stationary on idle ... so i have had undersized pulleys made for the Alts and add in an external adjustable regulator that i can adjust from the drivers seat. We tried & tested and dont forsee many issues mate , will find out soon enough I can also switch off the alts independently for when not in use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFord Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 (edited) A bit more progress on the old bucket ! Finally got all the sound deadening in This will stop the bitch rattling and ensure only the musics heard ! Its Pro Matt deadening 4.2mm thick and you can literally punch the panels and they feel like jelly We have intentionally left the inner frame work exposed so i can tie the stel box section frame to the vans skeleton for maximum rigidity. The panels were all steam cleaned m degreased , and blow torched to ensure maximum adhesion , the deadening pads were warmed in the outdoor pizza oven Again to ensure maximum adhesion Every deadening panel has been treated to a massage session with a pneumatic metal working air pad , designed to shape metal by the old whacker plare action , this ensure all air bubbles are removed and its on for good The panels are heavy aluminium coated with a thin black foil layer on top. Steel frame has already been made , its out being blasted clean at the moment , the. It will be fitted next weekend. Over 150kg of deadening !!!

Not the free air beast we were talking about, just a little 250 watt ported "Fli" that I took out of Mrs soups fezza. Wasn't expecting much, but paired with a pioneer double din and a wee bit of tweaking on the EQ, Xover etc it's absolutely singing. Proper shameless G bot antics . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
