P7100 Fuel Plate Profiles
 

:sen:

Heres a bit better pic:

Attachment 61109

what number is the plate in the picture?

I think its a "0" Tweeked what do you guys think?

Needs some material taken off the nose. Also watch your governor arm adjustment with that plate. If you slide it forward a bit then the arm could dive under.

To me it has too much nose on it considering how drastic the mid cut is.

1) Comparing the pic with the drawing, in particular looking at the position of the two screws on top, this looks to me as if the photographed plate was heavily cut below the "0" profile. Is that true, and if so, what specific function(s) has the chosen profile?

2) What would the profile of a #5 plate look like in comparison to the #0, #10, and #100 shown

3) What are the "specs" of the various plates (maybe this will contribute to the decision making for interested novice bombers)

Thanks

beat me to it whit...

:nice:

:up:

Thx @whitmore! However, question 1) and 3) remain. Can anyone shed some light on this?

The pic and drawing aren't the same plate. The picture is of a #4 plate which is the most aggressive out there outside of #0. PDR Cam plate HP guide.

i have a home ground 0 full forward and its not enough fuel for me, not very smokey my max egt's are 1200 and i have to have it to the floor for a while going up hill to hit that. but i did throw down 253rwhp with just a 0 plate and bhaf and stock exhuast straight piped. if my tranny didn't slip i coulda done better but oh well.

Nate, not trying to argue, but how is a #4 plate more aggressive than a 100? because it fuels more in/out of shifts when it comes to having an auto? or what? Explaination would be grand!

This is a good one too.

I'll say I haven't seen too many commercial plates, however, the pictured plate would be more aggressive than a 100 plate and here's why. Generally when folks make their "100", they grind the main face even with the face of the top plate, just like a "0", but then hook the bottom. The hook on the bottom is what gives it it's hybrid state bewteen a "0" and a "10"...hence "100". The pictured plate clearly is cut deeper than that. So much so, that there isn't much material left around the rivets. Don't let the the shallower portion above that fool you though, as it never sees the gov arm. This plate really doesn't defuel much once off idle. Gov arm travel is usually no more than 3/8 to 7/16 up the plate from point of contact. This also makes adjustment of the plate and gov arm crucial so as not to underdive the plate nose.

Sorry Archer I couldn't answer #3 for ya, but I tried #1.

Any new info on this topic, this is alot of good information! :c:

QUESTION: if ya grind a stock plate into a 100 how far fowaard is a safe ? and what are the dimensions of the hook on the bottom? or is it just a good guess, currently i have my stock plate full foward, oh and will you have to reset your govenor arm as well???? :voodoo: plan on doing it as soon as this hurricane passes

We ran ours with no Fuel Plate for a long time :choochoo:

isnt running without a fuel plate dangerous ? like the possibility of a runaway???:se:

Not Runaway but stuck wide open

oww, sounds expensive to me :hang:

I have read a couple time that most people that say they have a 0 plate really don't have one. But isn't a 0 plate just completely flush?

Great info for me!!! Thanks

another good one chad

how mutch power will it add by just moving the stock plate foward... and how mutch can a stock tranny withstand??

I have just aquired a '98 12 valve, it had the fuel plate removed when I got. The stock one was ground down to what looks like almost a zero. I put it back in full forward position and seems to run the same. I would like it to be just a little better than stock. Any suggestions ?

A zero plate full forward is the same as no plate.

In my oppinion the best setup is a #100

it is stock fueling for the first 1200-1500 rpm then its full fuel from there

this setup is easiest on the drivetrain especially auto trannys and clutches on the manual trannys
