I finally got my 87' Bj70 dialed in with the AXT turbo. The water temps, boost, and pyro are doing great, and it has plenty of power (I would have to say it is my quickest 70 series I own).
Temps = 180 - 195 degrees F
Boost = Max boost set to 11psi
EGT's = normal is 400-800F and under heavy load or big hill goes up to 1100F max (usually around 1000 - 1050F)
I am still running stock gears (3.70's) with 33"x15"x10" tires on this 70 series.
I am really pleased with the performance after dialing the turbo in and if that was not enough I have been getting 23MPG with this truck. For me that it pretty good, I was shocked and waited until I went through the second tank and calculated it again and it was again 23mpg (ok a little higher second time than first but I rounded ot even 23mpg)
I know that there have been some posts in the past on what people were getting with the 70 for mileage, but I am not sure if that was running a turbo as well. How about it, what are you getting with your turbo'd 70 series??
Thanks,
Michael
