Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) High EGT's now what?

[RRamsey]

I would like to know if going to a different plate or dv's could change my egt's. I would like to get lower egt's and a little more power WITHOUT having to run the water/meth. was thinking of doing something with the AFC and a different plate. Maybe more timing?? so many people are telling me different specs from 15* to 18. 5* who is right? Need some help, Must get more power, Must get lower EGT's. my sig has my info on truck. how do I get my info to display?

With the fuel you are dumping now, I don't know how you can get more power and lower egt's. Timing might help some. Twins maybe.

Give it about 16* of timing. Get a bigger turbo like a ht3b on top of what you have. Remove the fuel plate. That should satisfy your dreams!

I had a similar setup as yours. 370s,191s, PDR HX40, 10 plate and AFC housing full forward.

The HX40 is what is killing you. Not enough air. I couldn't even pull a small 14' enclosed trailer over 55mph unless it was under 45* ambient temps without EGT issues. Haven't towed at highway speeds with the new turbo yet, but so far the EGTs are good. Even with 15k on the trailer at low speed.

The HTT HTB2 64/14 spools only slightly slower than the HX40. Real easy to get a used to it. Should be a good match for you. If you have 3. 55 gears, the 12 housing might be better. Thinking about getting the new SS 13 housing for mine.

Thank's for the info, I am going to go see Pius from Bell turbo and look at one of his units, he swears its better than the hi-tec and industrial injection units? hard to believe but his turbo's are on the worlds fastest powerstroke (oop's did I curse in here... . my bad). Wide-open perf. uses them, plus his shop is only 15min from me.
