Turbo/hp question

[Richie O]

Richie do you think your monster injectors are causing your high EGT's, cause with my
set up ( and my sig is up to date ) my truck will hold 1250* for how ever long i want to,

I have never dynoed but it gets pretty roudy with full throttle, ran a couple of 6.7 CR's
that were probly stock and took them handilly.

Could be some what, but don't forget I am at stock timing which will show the egt's higher and your advanced timing will hide some of your egt's. Also you have the p/s cooler, tims tubes where as my 93 does not.

Ok so Im happy where Im at really I suppose, so I guess i just throw more air at it, and like I said injectors only so I dont destroy my injection pump? So my stock tube with a mutilated air box can be improved alot?

[Ptothej]

dar what are you running for power, I like the sound of your setup! What are these tim tubes

Tims tubes

Gorgeous! What gains do you guys see?

[ellis93]

They lowered my EGTs while pulling. I've noticed a little less turbo lag as well, that might just be me though. IMO it is money well spent.

[Ptothej]

And I take it you are still running the factory intercooler?

[ellis93]

Yes I am and all the simple stuff done in my sig. I tow a lot and I'm thinkin on installin a second gen cooler. I've not had time time so far to down it. Once I do, I'm adding fuel to it.

[Ptothej]

Hmmm interesting.. I think I will take their design and make my own, just cause Im like that hahahah, but I think Ill use pcv pipe to keep the heat at bay, I think the metal tubes would get more heat soaked then pcv pipe, and Im talkin the stockers too.

[ellis93]

Do you really think that pvc will stand up to the temps. The whole hot cold thing will work harden the pipe, or at least I would think. I have some conduit running in the ceiling of my shop and its been there about 6 or 7 years. With the heat there u can see waves in the pipe. The conduit is schedule 40.

Don't use PVC

[Ptothej]

Ok Ill trust my boys on the site! I will still make my own... but Ill use silicone connectors and exhaust pipe, this is far from a show vehicle.. that stainless ould look out of place!

[oldestof11]

Do not use a silicone 90* reducer to go between the turbo and the pipe running to the intercooler. A lot of competition guys see them burst right there because the turbo heats that air up to 500*+ degrees. Just food for thought.

hey-Hey!!!,
There are polyester reinforced silicone and those with fiberglass. Polyester is well down in strength by the time it passes 350 F. I have seen both sorts used by the OEM's and the polyester always goes *AFTER* the IC.
