Lowered my EGT 250DEG C, time for more fuel!!

Post by Big Will »

Hi All, a couple of interesting things happened over the last few days, firstly I upped the boost on my LN130 form 13 to 16PSI and apart from a little more power (very little) I noticed my MAX EGT had gone from 670DEG- 520DEG Celsius, while this was all good and well I was thinking about turning up the fuel to get a bit more power..

Anyways, while trial fitting my water to air intercooler I noticed that my Air intake system needed to be moved so I put my 3" Pod filter directly on the front of the turbo (with adapter to fit). This evening I took it for a trip to fuel up and i sort of thought, "shit this thing is going really well" it was then I looked at the EGT gauge and it was struggling to get over 400DEG and it maxed at 420. It has quite a bit more power!

Now im eagerly anticipating getting the intercooler plumbed up!!
5L+GT35@21psi= 223RWHP
5L+GT35@30+psi= 287RWHP....

Great tow Vehicle!

you will know if its needs more fuel by looking at the exaust under full load in like 4th gear should be a light haze of black out the exaust if it clear az wind the fuel up
