Nothing to be jealous of here in flatland.
I need to finish building my front brakes and get ready to play.

I got the intercooler fan wired up and made some progress on front brakes. It is hard to find front brakes for combo spindles.

Re: Woodsbuggy1 2276 Turbo Build
I finally got to go play in the woods last weekend. I soon realized that the TD04 13T is way too small for a 2276 when you want to climb hills in woods. I had to back down one of the hill that is fairly steep but only about 100 yds long. As soon as I passed 2K rpm she would go right to boost and spin the tires, everything worked fine on flat ground but being at a 45 deg angle loads the engine too much.
If anyone has a subie VF30 to sell or trade, please let me know. Next trip is July 5th, I am considering removing the turbo until I can find a larger one, boost needs to happen at least 1K rpm later than what I currently have.

I am running a dry sump system with 7 qts of oil so always have good oil supply and pressure. I am probably the first guy to complain about making boost too soon but it all depends on the application.

Mike,
I am running 33" super swamper Boggers cut to the cords on beadlocks and 5 psi I don't think my rear tires are the problem, It is hard to understand how much you can load a steep hill can put on a motor. I fairly flat ground it is great and boost is easy to control, I passed a buddy on the trail like he was sitting still when be both grabbed 2nd gear and hit the throttle, he was still laughing when I slowed down enough for him to catch up. Even at only 7 psi 2K to 5K rpm happens in less than a second on a decent hill. My thought process for an offroad turbo is changing.

I switched from 30" dia. paddles (http://www.sandtiresunlimited.com/1300plus.html) on 15 X 15 steel rims to Desert Tracs (https://www.kartek.com/parts/sand-tires ... ridge.html) on 15 X 12 AL rims. Tire pressure went from the standard 7#s to the recommended 5#s. A very, very noticeable difference on the sand. Desert tracs are good for both surfaces.
The side wall an the Desert Tracs are much stiffer than the 1300+s which is good for rougher/firmer ground conditions than the paddles.

Bogger are Heavy tires for sure, even cut they still weigh a ton Lee might have a solution or like u want a bigger hairdryer try a cheapie-flea-bay t3/t4 .63 a/r for a $100 can't buy tires for that

Sadly, we're not gonna make it up your way Mike. Just plain run out of time.
Looking forward to some buggy love in Indiana though.

My .63 t3/t4 doesn't wake up until about 4000-4500. It get real fun right about then, but its pretty lazy until that point. Kenric, just through that td05 on there. Its a little bigger on the exhaust side, should spool a little later I'd think.
