John, you can get mild steel parts (elbows and T's) from most any of the steel fab shops around town or actually from Metal Suppermarket in Langley, 200th and 92A I bet. Pretty inexpensive. I made mine (when I owned my truck, Kim bought it on Friday) from 1.5" Sch 40 short radius elbows on the...
Could be your fuel control relay. My edic wasn't working a couple weeks ago, had a friend with a spare help me diagnose the problem. We put in the spare edic, didn't do anything. We changed the fuel control relay (passenger side, behind wheel well cover plate and everything worked fine, my...
Help me out if you don't mind. Why would changing the fuel setting only affect the maximum temperatures? So I turn my fuel down say 3 full turns, almost to the point of starving my engine. Less fuel in the mix wouldn't affect the overall EGT? Or the opposite situation, I turn my fuel up so...
Can't say that I agree with Dougal. If one's fuel isn't turned up why wouldn't the EGT range be lower....? I run on the flat between 800-900*F pre-turbo at 110km/hr all day long. So based on this, my prob must be broken too?
If I adjust my fuel higher, my EGT's will rise but why do that when...
I don't think his pyro is broken, he may not have the fuel turned up as much as others do. Turn up the fuel, the EGT's are going to go up... turn it down.....well you now.
Hey John, all's sounding good!!!
You can lower your EGT's by actually increasing boost but leaving the fuel setting as is. Try giving yourself 12+/- psi. It's actually amazing how much more performance you'll get when you're boosting over 10 psi. Mine is set to 14psi and climbing local...
OK, so I took a look over my glow system. It's direct glow from battery to button to plugs. I took the button out of the dash and noticed that I had to push it in just a but further than when the rubber cover was on it, in the dash.
Needless to say, I'm embarrased to think that I've had a...
I totally think you're right Kim. I've been doing some reading on wilson switches and I think something is not right with mine. I had a buddy wire it up and he knows what he's doing but maybe we got something wrong.....I don't know if it was hooked up to any of the relay's or solenoids, so...
Thanks guys for all the help and suggestions.
Greg, I don't think it's the fuel filter otherwise I doubt it would have thawed out by 11:45....but maybe? I changed the fuel filter in summer, I have less than 5000 km since then.
Rob, yes, supper glow is gone. I glow for a good 30 seconds...
I have a wilson switch and have good glow.
Air in the system wouldn't cause no starting in the morning then start 4 hours later with no issues would it?
Maybe there is water in my system but I have no idea how to check it or get rid of it. I've always had tough starts in the mornings with lots...
So I went to start my truck this morning (82 BJ60 3B engine). It was about -4*c overnight so not too cold. I couldn't get the truck to start. It turned over just fine and I ran it just 3 days before.
So, I wondered if it could be water in the separator frozen, stopping fuel from getting...
You need to know how much boost you're running. You can lower your EGT's by turning up your boost but don't touch your fuel.
You're set up seems totally fine. I run 2" pipe between my turbo and intake with no EGT issues.
The 7cm housing on the exhaust side may be a bit on the large side...
