Scotty II... Sweet!!!

[Lil' Dog]

For all those on the fence about the extra noise of the Scotty system, well here ya go. The new upgrades to the Scotty system will make you throw stones at your BHAF and tell K&N to take a hike. . With both the side and cowel inductions open (those with mental power) we have seen a drop of up to 250°F on the Pyro.



With just either the cowel end or the side induction installed you still will see a 150°F reduction over the stock systems. .



Take a look at the new system and see if its for you. Also coming soon is the Gen 1 Scotty system, still under development and test...



Scotty II





J-eh

Can't wait to make enough power to need one of those babies! . Scott's got a special one coming yet that I'm waiting for... ... I can't wait to see one in person though!

Lil' Dog:



Thanks for the report on the Scotty II!!



I am VERY happy with his Scotty I, but I am definitely

going to purchase his new one! I need all the help I

can get in the EGT area!

Ok who's sellin them and how much? Can I ask that??

 

[JHansen]

Of course you can get them from the man himself-there's a link to him in my signature... ... . There's others that are dealers for Scott-the 1st two that come to my mind are Piers ( www.piersdiesel.com ) and my good buddy Rod at Wildcat Diesel (again link in signature)..... I know there's others on your side of the border-right now I can't think of them so please don't throw rocks at me guys! If I do come up with their names I'll post them here.



As for price I haven't even discussed that with Scott-so you'd have to get hold of him or one of his dealers to find out the lowdown... ...

is the AFE filter a paper filter or oil soaked??

where can the filter be purchaced when its time to change it??



i need some serious egt dropping





if i could post my profile on the '01 the way i had it you would see why

 

[JHansen]

The AFE is an oiled filter similar to a K&N----but quite a bit higher quality according to Scott. You clean and reoil it just like a K&N-if you wanted to have a spare (probably the way I will go when I make the plunge) I'm sure you can get an extra one at the time of purchase-or I'm also sure Scott will give you the part # for the filter if you want to get another down the road.



I'm not the best fella in the world to answer a lot of this stuff-but I'll try to get the answers to fill in the blanks as best I can!

[John_P]

One thing that I didn't know is that you can use the

K&N cleaning solution and oil on the AFE's. Might save

a few dollars!

I have been suitably chastised..... do I get a HP penalty applicable in July too? Please let me know ASAP so I can look under the couch cushions here at home to find some more before I go!



In doing some more poking around the 'Net I see that HVAC sells them as well through his business Performance Diesel-sorry Nowel my bad for missing you-you have one free head slap to use in July as well... .



Still researching... ... .

Ya know what, I think my truck is gonna be home to one of these filters real soon.



Sure look forward to that EGT reduction!



The new look is just superb!

Scott, has done it again but this time he made his own design even better.



I have been running the AFE filter in my Scotty 1 for almost a year now and it is a great filter. I just got a cleaning kit from AFE and it is almost exactly the same price as the K&N cleaning kit.



I have been more than pleased with the Scotty 1 and hope to be running even cooler with the Scotty 2 shortly!!!!





That new cone that goes over the end of the filter is too COOL!!!!

I'm sorry but........

I find it hard to believe that an air filter could give you a 250° drop in EGT's. I'm basing this on temperature testing I did with a remote thermometer under the hood. At a stand still the temps under the hood are quite high but as soon as the truck started moving they were only a few degrees warmer than the outside air. The probe was mounted near the turbo so that's where the most heat is. Granted better air flow will help EGT's and anything is better than the stock box.



Don't get me wrong I'm not saying this isn't a sweet set up for the oiled filter crowd, I just think your claim may be a little high.



I'm also basing this on my mildly modified truck. DD2's & EZ so EGT's haven't been a problem for me. When you get to the higher horsepower ranges, hence way higher EGT's, even slight temp differences in air flow may make a larger difference.



Just my opinion, if you feel the need, flame away... ... ...

i too have an underhood temp gauge, and with it mounted by the master cylinder, the underhood temps at freeway speeds are anywhere from 20-30 degrees hotter than ambient. this is unloaded, going 80mph down the freeway at see level. This is on the wrong side of the engine. i am going to put it over by the air cleaner and turbo, to see what temps are like over there. but for the sake of argument, lets say they are the same, which i kind of doubt, i bet they are considerably higher considering the pyro is reading 750 degrees at that speed and just inches from the air cleaner. what effect does 30 degress hotter air have on egt's. I know 30 degree warmer intake air has got to be more on the egt than just 30 degress increase. remember, we are compressing this air, so the warmer it is going in, it is only going to hurt as we add heat. now as far as 250 degrees cooler, i dont know, but i am betting that on a long hard pull towing a load with that turbo sitting 6 inches from an open element air cleaner (like i have now, and all of you BHAF boys), it has to help tremendously. havent decided where i am going with filter set up yet, just too many new ones out there, but i like the ideas behind this one the best so far. may be ordering soon

 

[illflem]

I agree with you guys about underhood temps not being that critical. I've had an temp sender mounted in my intake manifold for a couple of years, here in the frozen north the problem more often has been too low of intake temps. Ideal range for a diesel engine is 50-90°F, I've seen temps as low as 20° even after driving 100 miles. Temps rarely go over 90° and only as high as 120° towing on the hottest days of summer. Though I have a Scotty 1 and love it but the factory airbox goes back on in the fall. The turbo whine can become obnoxious after a while with the Scotty 1, the new version looks like it addresses that problem. How much $?

 

[RHARVEY]

I have been running #1 for 18 months or so and it has worked great. I soon will be running the latest design and am expecting to see the EGT's to drop even more over the #1

As far as the whine. . in my family I think I would get strung up if I got rid of the whine. And thats not just the kids. . it my wife also. .

Another great product from the north. .

[jbone]

Guys, Bought one year or so ago--do believe that it helped the temps--don't believe advertised temps!? You do get some turbo whine in the cab, but lets me know turbo is working!

When it first came in the mail I thought what a cheap POS, but I installed it and was lot happier.....

Question I have is--could some one out there sell us a product with decent markup?? Realize things are more expensive in Canada, but D*** that piece of plastic couldn't have been that expensive--I think we are bombing someones truck up north... .

My 2 cents worth... ... Yes I would buy again, but looks like they increased price again?!?

 

[Lil' Dog]

If you think its expensive I guess you can say that. Build the mold and price out forming plastics... I bet the way that Scotty is getting it built is far cheaper that the common injection molded plastics. If it were injection molded (like your dashboard) the price would triple!!!!!



Hey, you'll spend up to $800 on your exhaust system for a minor savings in Hp/EGT, say 5%?? But you won't spend a few bucks on your intake for maybe a 10-15% boost??? Sounds hypocritical to me.



AS far as the underhood air issue, there is also a benefit to the Scotty from the positive air in the cowel. . Ever notice that even with your heater switched off, you get air in the Vents??? Hmmm.



NASCAR uses the same idea for where to draw the air from, can't be that bad... Also there are more and more [censored] out there building their own versions... Wonder Why???



Its just too bad that the big money guys can skirt the Patent Laws and step on the small guys (in this case business size only LOL) trying to make an honest living selling an idea.



IMHO J-eh

 

[drawson]

I like Bill(illflem) have an air intake temp gauge and I see alittle hotter temps than Bill. Above 70 I see between 20 - 30 deg above outside temps. Today it was 73 or so and I was seeing 91 - 93 running 70 MPH and this is with the Scotty housing in place.



I took off the housing this winter to try and increase the intake air temps. and running down the freeway empty I saw an increase of 100 deg EGTs. I was seeing 700 deg EGTs running 75-80 w/o the housing and 600 with.



I know this system works!!!! Piers ran this Scotty 1 on his truck when he was working for BD. Yes there is more in cab noise but right after my Piers SUPER HX-40 the Scott air system reduced EGTs the most.



In reduction for the buck the Scotty 1 Is a really winner.

 

[JHansen]

I don't know the wherewithals of Scott's testing..... but if he says 250F drop in EGT's I believe him. He's a straight up guy..... in my opinion anyways which in these parts is worth about as much as a Canuck buck :{ .....



As for the cost-I didn't think it was that bad. However I managed to sink $17K CDN into a perfectly good new truck last year so perhaps my idea of inexpensive is skewed just a touch compared to everybody else's... . I'm thinking if I post a price on here somebody is gonna send me to my corner for a timeout similar to the one a more-famous Canadian received earlier today-but I will tell you that Wildcat Diesel has an introductory special on them (www.wildcatdiesel.com -top right side of the home page)- as does Scott himself I believe-could be wrong about that... .
