egt?

[Shanley]

A few months ago, I installed an isspro pyrometer Pre turbo. I was shocked to see that with my milage miser 50hp chip I was reaching up to 1500 degrees pulling hills at full throttle empty. I took out the chip, and it only made about a 100 degree difference. towing my toy hauler without the chip I can reach 1400 pretty easily pulling hills. Half the people I ask, say this is normal for an 05, and the other half say I should never be over 1100-1200. any suggestions?

05 it is normal. Factory out of the box, stock will get 1400* with out trying. I have had no problem at all, I have run 1400*+ many times with out a box. I have very steep grades all over and pull them daily with a load.

Yep, that sounds about right. If you want to bring those temps down, try a boost fooler of some sort or get a Smarty.

Second for the Smarty. My Smarty Jr lowered my egt's 200+ degrees. Plus I am seeing a 1. 5 mile per gallon increase. Great product.

With the Smarty I am seeing no decrease on EGTs or increase in fuel mileage. but it does put the power down and black out the sky when hammered...

are you running the newest software release? Thanks

a good air filter and a modded box and either a boost fooler or something like a smarty jr will do woncers for egts. i hit 1300 on only the hardest pulls so far and when it was all stock it would hit 1450 easy.

I am. Tonight I saw a minimum of 200* drop. Where I would hit 1400* before, tonight I barely broke 1100*. Some of that is probably due to my wastegate staying closed, but the Smarty is responsible for that too, I think.

And yes, it will darken the skies over central MN if I allow it.

Thanks for the help, I just bought the smarty jr. It sounded like the answer to my egt problem, we'll see.

Is the isspro pyrometer right? I just put one in my truck pre turbo. I have 60 hp injectors with a stock turbo and I can get 1200 degrees when I hammer on it. Pyrometer goes up and down with my throttle. Is this normal for isspro ev2 gauge? Or is it just reading the heat from the extra fuel?

Pyro will go up with adding fuel and or load
