Turbo Readings

[roadranger]

Have had a request to post turbo readings on new Pyro install, so here they are:

Stock ETH, 62* ambient temp, 7000 ft altitude, running empty.

65 mph- 600*, 8 psi boost
75 mph- 800*, 10 psi boost

Pulling Monument Hill, started at 65 mph then floored the go pedal. Got almost to the top
going 92 mph and hit 1300* and had to back out of it.

I'm hoping the EZ install will change the timing enough to get the WOT temps down...
or maybe it's going to require a 4" exhaust system?

Doug, What side of Monument did you go up ? and where did you start the run at ? When (if ever) my gauges arrive I will have to try the same hill and see if my twelve valver will do it as well ! #ad

Doug, I had similar results when my truck was stock with just gauges. I could easily hit 1250F pre-turbo while pulling a steep grade. I did my testing on two grades in town, 17% and 25%, unloaded. After I installed the EZ I found that, while my egt's cilmbed faster, I could not obtain a egt. reading over 1100F. My exhaust, turbo and injectors were also stock at that time. Hope this helps.

I just put my pyro in over the weekend. My post turbo readings are 400-500 at 70mph. I found that shifting out of OD (into 3rd) will drop the temps. - even on an uphill grade. Lower RPMs (under 1900) under load = higher temps. Higher RPMs (like around 2200) = lower temps. I'm still learning about it. This weekend will tell me more when I tow my trailer.

Bigsaint- Glad to hear that about the EZ install. Was getting worried about towing with one. I wonder how DC protects the stock
engine with high EGT's ?

ROCKYMTN- I was going northbound past the truck scales.

Keep yer Cummins Hummin!

I had the same question. I could not believe that my truck was seeing high egt's with no load and stock. How much would it cost DC to put in a pyro gauge. On the same thought, what's up with a turbo equipped vehicle not having a boost gauge. My little Phord Probe GT even had one of them( I think it maxed out at 10 psi). BOMB sensibly and you won't have a problem. See the sig. below, still don't get over 1050F with the bigger injectors on the same grades.

You hit 1300 post turbo going up monument hill empty. OH ****! I hope that was just a misprint and you really mean pre-turbo. I can top monment at near triple digit speeds and never get above 750 post-turbo.

My bad, I just read your post again. Haven't had enough caffine yet!

stakeman , i'm with you ... doug , is your probe before the turbo or after ???? 1300 after is like 1700 plus pre ... . ouch ...

 

[roadranger]

Gonna put the EZ in this week, run that test
up Monument hill again, and see what the temps will be this time...

Good thing have the gauges mounted- I thought
that DC had these Cummins running so that any dummy #ad
could run them.
Apparently NOT!
