So, beed driving the truck.for a year. Very happy with the streetability and power.
Note: this is a very mild build with just a HX40.
Only issue is EGT on the top end (over 3300 rpm)
On a hard 6th gear pull (or a good whack on the throttle in 3rd gear to get the back end loose in the dirt) I dont see EGTs over 1300F till 3300 rpm.
Timing is at 18 degrees, and wastgate set for 34 PSI.
Would bumping timing to 21 degrees help any? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a turbo that can feed the engine better and allow the headroom to run cooler to 4k?
Not really a complaint as the powerband that has zero EGT "issues" is 1200 to 3300-3400...would just like to be able to run harder to 4000 when screwing around offroad as the truck has decent carli/thuren goodies under it now.
Pump is a stock 215, 4k gsk, DFI mach 6 injectors, custom ground plate (kinda like a #6) stock DVs.
