Hi... Bruce here from Billings Montana... I sure could use a new set of manuals. Lost mine on the road from central California to here. . Imaginengineering@gmail.com
Cheers & thanks in advance
Ashamed to say.. but I haven't hooked up my new coolant sensor.. ugh.. but going old school never got above mid gauge on the oem.. that was one reason i kept pushing it harder.. kept waiting for high coolant temps... must be the "water wetter" stuff all the cruiserheads talk about... maybe the...
Gents.. thanks for your replies... I also will be adding a 2nd egt sensor.. but I'm going to locate it at the exhaust end of my 3" super shorty exhaust ... the higher the delta "t" the less efficient my system is.. just gotta figure out how to take the 2nd Zietronix sensor reading & get it to my...
While I was waiting for the new alternator to arrive I met some hard core diesel fanatics.. they told me max max max meltdown temps of 1500f EGT.. I dunno about that but I'm real comfortable at 1200f now... cant wait to unhitch the trailer & see how it performs with around 3000lbs less..... I'm...
NOTICE... THESE COMMENTS ARE FOR MY UPGRADED 2L-TE ONLY!!!!!
Your comments are important...
Just reached denver.. whew.. yesterday drove the 400+ miles from west Wyoming here... still towing (7560lbs gvw).. ran over 3 hours above 1100f & above EGT.. one stretch of 20 mins over 1200f topping out...
your EGT will give better info if it is installed upstream of your turbo.. I actually left in the stock downpipe, and installed the 3" exhaust as in the pics.. one bend & about 6ft in overall length.. I installed an O2 bung for Lamda sensor.. I am going to be installing a 2nd EGT sensor to...
I found a 3" I'd x 4" of glasspack.. with a 3" steel exhaust.. sounds sweet :) total run is 1 bend and around 6ft long.. I've got a 2L-TE.. but exhaust is exhaust.. are you putting on / fabbing up headers???
Cheers
Cruiserheads.. couple days ago I was hitting my head against the wall with my pooched 78 alternator.. when I installed a new battery backwards it fried all the alternator electrical bits.. thought some might find this helpful.. went to junkyard jims & found a wrecked 1994 celica.. discoed the...
RNG. this project is scheduled for December this year for wrenching.. so it's still in the conceptual design stage.. so I haven't run any software simulations yet.. I need to receive the modded head & manifolds to reverse engineer all the mech kit..
So the 250hp is a goal, as the phase II mods...
Thanks for sharing..I feel less bad!!! . I'm in the middle of junkyard Jim's here & it looks like I found a donor alternator.. from a celica .. anyone know what year it is??
