Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Still no fix for my milage drop: Question about EGT's and just DD III's

[JaMan]

Have been running on just my 275's with the Ez unpluged for about a week , doing some milage tests and love the smooth power of just the injecters. What would some DD 3's do without a box other than a boost fooler do? Will the Egt's go up or stay relevently the same as with 275's and a Ez? And on a ETH, how much Hp. will the 3's make is it more than 100Hp. like the claim on the ETC's ? And will the stock clutch like the overall smoothness of just the injecters better than a box? Sorry for the multiple questions. Milage drop of 3mpg still sucks need more help with that also.





Thanks a million (or at least a 37,000 sticker price )

DDIII's will be over 100hp in an ETH motor.



Injectors and boost fooler will be fun, but those injectors plus EZ will be alot more fun. However your clutch might think otherwise. The EGT's "shouldn't" be any higher if you run 30 to 33lbs of boost, might actually be cooler coupled with the EZ. With an EZ and III's you would be floating around 360 to 375hp.

I think you'll be right on the borderline with your clutch and 3's alone. I did one pull with my (ETC) 3's only and got 296/621. My stock clutch would hold the UFM at that level, but then it was the itty bitty clutch. It would NOT hold 340HP.



Mileage? I dunno, mine keeps getting better.



I had moved up from 18's to 19's before the injectors, and expect to get back up there when I calm back down. The 3's ain't been in long.



No problem with EGT's on 3's alone at 32# or so of boost.

DD3's, a boost module and a PDR40 on my ETH made 341HP

DD3's and the Power Puck with the stock turbo made 345HP

DD3's, an EZ, and a PDR40 made 369 HP



expect to see over 1300F @WOT with the stock turbo/EZ/DD3 combo
