Just curious what you guys are seeing for EGTs pulling the sled. I just want to see how my temps compare to others with a Street class 12v.
I am seeing way over 1600* since that is where the gauge pegs at and I think I am actually running anywhere from 1900*-2200* by the end of the pull by the needle pretty much facing straight down.:eek:
Those temps are seen with 370 injectors, 100 plate and stock 181 DVs being pushed through an S400.:)

Thanks, Joe
 
1900-2200 here i guess too my neeedle si same as yours
 
Wow, you guys have time to look at the guages??? I guess I am too much of a newbie...
 
just put duct tape over the guage and floor it i see around 1300 with the 191 dv's and over 1600 with the l.c. dv's
 
Well, now I am wondering if I added some larger DVs to get more fuel moving across the turbo giving me more boost and stepped the timing up above my current 19.5* if I could get them down some.
Keep the references coming guys, it's nice to hear what everyone else sees.....not only for reference but to make me feel better.:hehe:

could it be the 370's not having the right spray pattern raising the EGS that high??
 
definately not helping... at 19.5* the 370's are WAY out of the bowl...

I'm surprised the S400 can't cool off 370's

get you some EDM's w/ a tight spray pattern and give it some more timing

Well to be honest the injectors are EDMs, I just call them 370s cuz the place i got them from had made them to flow more than a 370s and I am not sure exactly what to call them. I need to get some more details from my supplier on them but that is all I can tell you at the moment about what they flow. I am running the thin washers with these injectors, maybe switch some thicker ones?
What do you suggest I put timing at? 22* to 24* or more??

Thanks, Joe
 
I have "modified" DDP4s and can hit 1800 on the street... I don't know what I hit going down the pulling track..

BTW the DDP4's are a sweet 12 valve injector :)

Would love to Scott, but I think that is against the rules at most of our pull venues out here, unless I am mistaken....of course it is not for you as your rig is "modified.":bow:
I guess I could look into it as that would definately bring those numbers down some. Just don't want to spend the money on a system like that and get to a pull and not be able to use it.

do what any true sportsman would do... hide it! :D
 
Dang I wish I understood more of what you're all talking about. I was coming home from Natalie's on sunday and I usually run between 600-900 on the highway, but had the a/c on and was hauling azz at about 90 and it went up to 1200ish, I kinda got skeered lol, cuz I let up off the gas and it didn't cool down, it went up. So I pulled over and then it was fine. Needless to say I left the a/c off. But I was thinking about when I pull... I think I'm gonna crap myself it I do have time to look over there. Jeez. I think my needle pegs out at 1800-2000. Hell, I still don't even know what happens if that beast gets too hot...

I was thinkin I need to read a bunch of "How it Works" modules lol.
(OMG... I just made a 'diesel' relevant post!!! WOOOOHOOO!) :P
 
:umno:Oh yeah, it's so easy to hide those steel braided lines going right into the manifold......:rolleyes:
Sorry, Forrest I am not a cheater, I like to attempt to win within the rules as one should do. Nothing against you but true sportsmans play within the rules and win within the rules.
