Nightrider O2 IED's - Field Test
#3023
You're welcome!
With a ship that big, 5 acres of flight deck and personnel, you can go weeks without seeing a buddy! My entire time on that thing, I never did see the entire ship! If you ever see one in person, up close and personal, it is a incredible sight to see, just the massive size of it all! Flight deck to water line, 90'! Then another 5-6 stories on top of the flight deck, known as the, Super Structure!
Have a look around, I think you may find this interesting. Aircraft of my era.

On message for the thread. I put on O2 IEDs a couple of weeks ago after a frustrating year of never being able to get my PC III to work the way I thought it should on an 07 RKC. What a difference with the IEDs! Smooth power, never a hiccup, lost only about 1 mpg overall. I'm a believer now.

Xieds
Interesting. I'm the guy that posted a few days back about dyno-ing before and after installation of Xieds. As I noted at that time I got a little more torque & HP, but it did not cool my engine.
Today I took a 250+ mile ride with a new windshield on. It enabled me to hear the motor at high speeds. What I found is that my engine is still pinging when I get on it.
So, still pinging, no cooler, and don't much care about 5HP... I'd concluded on the ride that I was going to sell the Xieds, and put in a PCIII. Especially since I am going to put a new air intake on it soon.

Gotta tell ya, I like my bike a lot, but this whole lean fuel, pinging business is just stupid. I don't think it is too much to ask to have a $12K bike perform normally. And if we just have to give a hat-tip to the leftie loons who think this is going to keep the planet from burning up, then at least have a simple fix.
OK, got that off my chest...

OK, I'll bite. What fuel management system(s) offer ping-free, rich fuel/air, low heat and smooth power regardless of throttle position?
