IDakota Sargent inolwazi ngezinjini zikadizili, imishini yezimayini, amaloli omgwaqo kanye nemigwaqo, kanye nomekhenikha we-US Air Force, kodwa umsebenzi kadizili olula uyathandwa kakhulu. Wasungula i-Full Hook Performance esikhathini esingaphezudlwana konyaka odlule futhi uthuthukisa imikhiqizo emihle njengale injini ye-Cummins engu-5.9-litre 12-valve turbocharged. Yibheke!
UDakota Sargent, oneminyaka engu-27 kuphela ubudala, ungomunye walabo bantu, futhi uma esegxile emgomweni, ngeke ayeke kuze kube yilapho usufeziwe, futhi ezingeni eliphezulu. Uma ubheka ukuthi akakabi neminyaka engu-30 ubudala, uDakota usevele unerekhodi elicebile nelinolwazi, futhi namuhla ugxile ekuthuthukiseni i-Full Hook Performance, ibhizinisi likadizili e-Indian Springs, eNevada, eduze kwaseLas Vegas.
UDakota wafundiswa amaloli kadizili ngokushesha nje esikoleni samabanga aphezulu ngesikhathi efunda eNorthwestern Kansas Technical College eGoodland, eKansas. Waphothula ohlelweni lwabo lweminyaka emibili lwedizili eneziqu ezihambisanayo kwezobuchwepheshe bukadizili.
“Esikoleni, ngangisebenza esitolo samaloli ngemva kokuyeka umsebenzi wami ukuze ngiqede ikolishi,” kusho uSargent. “Ngemva kokuphothula, ngathuthela eHarrisonburg, eVirginia… ngasebenzela iFreightliner. Ingxenye enkulu yomsebenzi wami yayiwukuhamba ngezimoto zamaloli ezingaphandle komgwaqo. Emuva eNevada, ngaqala ukusebenza ngemishini yezimayini, ngasebenza njengomakhenika wasensimini, kanye nomekhenika waseshabhu iminyaka eminingana.
"Njengamanje, nginenkontileka ne-US Air Force njengomakhenika futhi ngisebenza ne-Full Hook Performance ngemuva kwamahora okusebenza. Umgomo wethu ukusebenza ngokugcwele ne-Full Hook Performance maduze. Sesisondele kakhulu kulelo hora."
I-Full Hook Performance igxile kumaphampu e-5.9L angu-12-valve, angu-24-valve P, angu-24-valve VP44 futhi yenza nomsebenzi wokudlulisa ngesandla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Dakota idale isigaba se-Full Hook Performance Suspension esikhiqiza amakhithi e-billet aluminium alungisekayo kabili asezingeni eliphezulu e-Dodge kusukela ngo-1994 kuya ku-2013.
“I-Full Hook Performance iletha injini, i-transmission kanye ne-suspension konke ngaphansi kophahla olulodwa,” kusho uSargent. “Eziningi zezakhiwo zethu zenjini, asiboni iloli. Iklayenti linikeza injini futhi siyayakha nganoma yimaphi amandla adingekayo. Siyihlanganisa thina bese siyinika injini futhi ungondla ingane yakho esanda kuzalwa nganoma yiliphi izinga lamandla.
“Okwaqala ukumiswa kweloli kwakuyiloli lami, i-98.5 Dodge ene-24-valve P pump. ngokwayo izinzile kakhulu emgwaqweni omkhulu noma uma senza i-traction egcwele noma into ethile ngakho ngingathanda ukubuyisela iloli ekuphakameni okujwayelekile futhi ngiphawulile ukwehla embonini - amanani aphezulu, amanani aphansi kumaloli angu-94 kuya kwangu-13 Izingxenye ze-Suspension ikhwalithi enhle kakhulu njengomakhenika ngiyabona izinto futhi ngiveze izinkinga engingathanda ukuzilungisa Bengiphequlula i-inthanethi ngifuna ikhithi yokumiswa ukuze ngibuyisele iloli lami ekuphakameni kwesitoko ngokulawula izibhamu kodwa alikho lapho langidonsela ukunaka, ngakho ngazenzela lona mina.”
Kungenzeka ukuthi ubunomuzwa wokuthi iDakota ibilokhu isebenzisa i-Full Hook Performance iminyaka eminingi, kodwa empeleni wavula isitolo ngo-Ephreli 2020 kuphela.
“Ngiqhuba ibhizinisi lami esitolo esincane (30×25) engasiqasha kumngane,” kusho yena. “Empeleni indodana yakhe iyona kuphela isisebenzi sami, ngakho-ke yimi no-Anthony kuphela. Sisebenza amahora angu-18-19 ngosuku, izinsuku ezingu-7 ngesonto. U-Anthony uneminyaka engu-18 kuphela, kodwa lo mntwana ungumshini ngempela. Akukho zikhalazo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sisebenza amahora amangaki, ukuthi sisebenza sekwephuzile kangakanani izinsuku ezingaki ngesonto. Uhlala ekhona kimi, efunda futhi emunca ulwazi oluningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngithemba ukuthi eminyakeni emibili noma emithathu ezayo angasebenza ngaphandle kwami Ukwakha lezi zinjini ngaphandle kosizo. Yilowo umgomo ” .
Enye yezinhloso zalo mhlangano wokusebenzela ukuthuthukisa ukukhiqizwa kwezinjini ngenxa yesidingo esiphezulu samanje sokusebenza nezinjini ze-Full Hook. Njengoba lelo nani liqhubeka nokukhula, uDakotas uthe kukhona nezinhlelo zokwandisa indawo yesitolo.
“Ngakha indawo entsha endaweni yami lapho ngingasebenza khona isikhathi esigcwele,” kusho yena. “Umgomo wami omkhulu ukukwazi ukwenza wonke umsebenzi wenjini endlini ngoba ngithumela umsebenzi wami esitolo semishini sendawo eVegas esibizwa ngokuthi iHeads By Rick (HBR Competition Engines). Basenzela lokho. Bakwenza konke okwenziwayo, ama-grips kanye nomsebenzi wekhanda. Sesilokhu siwasebenzisa cishe unyaka manje futhi siwuthanda kakhulu umsebenzi abasenzela wona.
"Kodwa-ke, umgomo wami ukuba nomshini wami wokubhoboza, ukulola, ukuhloba amadekhi kanye nokuhloba amabhlogo eminyakeni emibili ezayo. Ngingathanda ukukwazi ukwenza wonke umsebenzi mina, njengoba kunzima ukuthola izitolo zemishini ezinhle kulezi zinsuku. . Ngifisa sengathi isikhathi sokulungisa besishesha kakhulu futhi ukuze ngikwazi ukuhlola yonke into esitolo sethu enegama lethu. Ngifuna ukwazi kahle ukuthi yini eyenziwe kuyo futhi ngazi ukuthi yenziwe kahle."
"Bengizama ngempela ukwandisa nokuthuthukisa yonke into ngaphambi kokuba ngishiye umsebenzi wami wansuku zonke futhi ngiqale ukusebenza isikhathi esigcwele ngoba ukukhiqizwa kwezinjini zethu kukhuphuke kakhulu ezinyangeni ezine kuya kwezinhlanu ezedlule."
Enye yezakhiwo ezinkulu zezinjini iDakota State esanda kuqedwa kwakungeyomngane wakhe omkhulu ogama lakhe linguTyler Swanson, ongumnikazi wamafasitela aseNyakatho Nevada eReno, eNevada. Ngesizini edlule, uTaylor wathenga iDodge Ram 2500 yaphakathi kweminyaka yama-90 enetekisi elilodwa, umbhede omude futhi washayela iloli elineshaja elilodwa (S369), ipompo yeFarrell Diesel 215 kanye nama-injector angu-785 hp angu-5×25. Njenganoma yimuphi umthandi wedizili, kufika amandla amaningi engqondweni kaTaylor.
“Sakha amaloli ambalwa ndawonye, kodwa ayengaphambene kakhulu namandla,” kusho uSargent ngobungani bakhe noTaylor. “Ngemuva kwesizini, wangishayela ucingo wathi abanye abantu bakhuluma naye, ngakho wayesekulungele ukwenza konke okusemandleni akhe isizini ezayo yonke.”
Injini iyi-Cummins 5.9-litre 12-valve eyakhishwa abafana bakaTaylor kwiDodge 2500 bayiletha ku-Full Hook Performance ukuze bayihlukanise.
“Mina no-Anthony sayidabula sayithumela ku-Harvard Business Review,” kusho uSargent. “Sikhathele yi-.020.” Sikhethe ama-piston akhethekile e-Mahle asebenza kahle kakhulu aneziketi ezimboziwe. UJosh McCormick usike ama-piston. Sisebenzise ama-lobe e-Colt Stage 5. Ukususwa kwe-valve kufinyelelwa nge-valve yokusiza engu-0.080″ phezulu kwe-piston. Ama-lobe e-Stage 5 angama-lobe okuphakamisa angu-199/218. Sisebenzisa ama-tappets e-Common Rail angu-1.45 kuwo ukwandisa indawo yokuxhumana. Sine-TIG welded cams, ama-Gears nama-crank gear.
"Sikhethe ikhanda leHamilton Stage 2 elinevalvu enkulu kakhulu kanye nesipilingi sevalvu esinomfanekiso weHamilton. Asizange sijabule ngokuphelele ngokusebenza kwevalvu, ngakho sagcina siklame kabusha ivalvu ngendlela esiyithandayo. Ikhanda nalo liyindandatho yomlilo."
"Sagcina sifake ama-Dynomite Diesel Super Mental injectors. Basenzele i-injector eyenziwe ngokwezifiso. Sasine-Farrell Diesel 215 Stage 4 pump. Yayine-positioner kanye nesengezo esincane ku-Stage 5 pump. Sasine-Wagler Street Fighter balanced spin rods ehlanganiswe kusetshenziswa ama-half inch L19 rod bolts u-Adam Aquino awasakhela wona.
"Sisebenzisa ama-bearings ochungechunge lwe-Mahle H enjini yonke - ama-bearings amakhulu nama-bearings enduku yokuxhuma. Sinezinjini zokupholisa i-piston yomsebenzi kanye nama-plugs okuqandisa umsebenzi. Sinesembozo sokuphakamisa umshini wokusika esinama-baffles. Sinesembozo se-valve esisodwa somshini. Senze i-Manton 7/16ths chrome hybrid stick enebhola lama-valve angu-24 kanye nendebe yama-valve angu-12. Sikhethe izikhonkwane zekhanda ze-ARP 625. Sasine-strap ye-gorilla ekugcineni okuphansi.
"Futhi, sine-manifold ye-Steed Speed T4 ene-EvilFab Performance compound turbo kit. Sisebenzise i-parallel S472 SXE ene-turbocharged S488 SXE. Iyi-V-belt ehlanganisiwe ye-TIG, yonke iyi-stainless steel kit, epholishiwe futhi. I-EvilFab ifake ishaja engaphezu kwe-1000 hp futhi ikhamera izosiza kakhulu ekugoqeni nasekufakeni intambo."
Ngenxa yokuthi injini eyakhiwe kabusha engu-5.9-litre engu-12-valve izojikeleza ngesivinini esiphezulu se-RPM futhi ibe nomfutho ophezulu, iDakota ifuna ukwandisa isikhala sama-piston-valve enjinini.
“Ngala ma-supercharger, injini yayingakhushulwa kalula ibe yi-100 psi, ngakho sathola ama-shim amakhulu avela ku-XDP ngakho saba ne-valve eyengeziwe kuya ku-piston clearance,” kusho yena.
Amamodeli e-Cummins aphinde abe nama-balancer e-Fluidampr kanye nezimbozo zangaphambili ze-Keating Machine billet, kodwa iphampu yokuphakamisa iyinto ekhathazayo kakhulu.
“Besidinga uphethiloli omningi ngangokunokwenzeka, ngakho sanquma ukusebenzisa amaphampu okuphakamisa amabili e-AirDog 165 4G,” esho. “UKevin kwa-AirDog empeleni udlula isilawuli esisephampini ngaphakathi, ngakho baletha uwoyela ogcwele ku-GPH engaphezu kuka-300 beqonde ngqo ephampini ye-P. Wasibeka nereferensi yabo entsha yokukhulisa amandla eguquguqukayo. Buyela kusilawuli.
“Esitolo sethu, thina i-TIG sahlanganisa izinto zethu ukuqinisekisa amazinga aphezulu okugeleza kabusha futhi sisuke ku-3/8 siye ku-1/2.” Ngale ndlela singalungisa ngempela ingcindezi kaphethiloli uma ingasebenzi bese kuthi uma sesiqalile ukuphakamisa ihlale ibamba ingcindezi futhi ingashisi ipompo. Iphakela ingaphambili lepompo ye-P, okusiza kakhulu ukugcina ipompo ipholile futhi ithole uphethiloli omningi ngangokunokwenzeka.
“Siphinde sisebenzise i-1/2 return” kuze kufike ku-double sump. Omunye wabo usebenzisa i-1/2″ return evela ku-jet pump. I-port yesibili kuyo iphakela i-AirDog bese kuba yi-sump yesibili. I-AirDog yesibili Ukubuya kwe-AirDog kokubili kunezinga eliphansi lokubuyisa ngenxa yokudlula kwangaphakathi kumlawuli, ngakho sikwazile ukuhlanganisa ukubuyiselwa okubili okulawulwayo kwe-AirDog ne-port eyodwa ku-pallet.”
Ngaphezu kwazo zonke izinto ezinhle i-Full Hook Performance eyayinazo kakade enjinini, uTaylor wayefuna i-nitric acid, ngakho uDakota wanezela isiteji wafaka i-nitrous engu-200 kuso.
“Ngingathi uma ishaja nophethiloli kufakiwe, iloli lizosebenza kanzima ukuze lifinyelele ku-750-800hp. Ngokulithuthukisa libe yiphampu engu-13mm, sizobe sincishisiwe kuphethiloli ephampini yeSigaba 4, kodwa sasifuna ngempela ukuthi iloli libe yiloli yomgwaqo ukuze akwazi ukulithatha alidilize umgwaqo uma efuna.”
Ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kweloli kusizwa yi-Reno complete transmission ehlanganiswe endaweni ephinde ibe ne-converter enamadiski amane, i-Muldoon full manual valve body kanye ne-ratchet shifter.
Ezinye zezinto eziqeda ukwakhiwa okuphelele zifaka phakathi izingalo zokulawula ezilungisekayo ezimbili ze-Full Hook Performance, ukulahla iphampu ye-vacuum ukuze kusetshenziswe iphampu yokuqondisa enamandla eqhutshwa yigiya kuphela, ukuguquguquka okuphelele kwezintambo endaweni yenjini, kanye nokuhambisa ibhethri emzimbeni.
“Isakhiwo esihle kakhulu,” kuvuma uSargent. “Ingumuntu wangaphandle, ngokuqinisekile uyahamba futhi uyakhuluma. Iloli empeleni liyi-trailer eyakhelwe ngenhloso, kodwa lisenengaphakathi eligcwele kanye nombhede ogcwele. Uzolikhipha futhi ukuze adlale ngalo. Sizofaka umoya opholile emalolini, ngakho-ke linomoya opholile osezingeni eliphezulu wamaloli anamandla angaphezu kwe-1,000 horsepower.”
Njengamanje, iloli alinawo uhlaka olufanele amandla amasha emzileni, kodwa kuhlelwe ukuthi lifakwe elolini maduze nje. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iDakota isitshele ukuthi bakhe yonke iyunithi yale injini yama-valve angu-5.9-litre Cummins 12 ngezinsuku ezintathu kuphela.
“Sifake lonke uhlelo lukaphethiloli, sahlanganisa yonke injini kusuka endaweni engenalutho, futhi sakwazi ukuphula ikhamera ye-brace yokusekela injini yami sabe sesiyibopha elolini ekupheleni kwempelasonto.”
Njengoba wazi, iDakota inomdlandla nokuzimisela ukuphumelela kukho konke akwenzayo, futhi siyaqiniseka ukuthi uzolizwa igama elithi Full Hook Performance esikhathini esizayo.
“Umgomo wami empilweni ukwenza lokhu ngaso sonke isikhathi,” kusho uSargent. “Ngiyazi ukuthi nginesifiso sokwenza lokhu kwenzeke. Uma senginqume ukwenza okuthile, angikhethi ngempela ukuthi cha. Ngethemba ukuthi ngingaqhubeka nokwenza izinto ezimbi.”
I-Diesel of the Week ixhaswe yi-AMSOIL. Uma unenjini ongathanda ukuyigqamisa kulolu chungechunge, sicela uthumele i-imeyili kumhleli we-Engine Builder uGreg Jones [email protected]
