Finished the guage install last night. I put the pyro in pre turbo and was wondering what temp I should be running at cruise say 80 mph at 2200 rpm. It shows 250-300 at idol and somewhere between 750-800 cruising and will jump when I have the edge comp on 5x5 and get on it , but has never past 1200. Thanks for all the help.

Sounds like you have it in correctly. It will vary on terrain,load,truck but yours is showing normal. Goodluck,,Rick

I just got mine in as well.

@300 idle.
@800 cruising on freeway.
Had it up to 1200 flooring it yesterday.

Was surprised how much it moved around during an average drive.

All of this on a stock truck.

Well, no fueling mods yet anyway.

Same here, I fianlly broke down a installed one. It will stay around 700 at 70mph, 8 psi boost, and havent past 1000 yet. That baby will go up and down per the throttle something fierce. Kindas cool to watch

I cruise between 400-600, 250-300 idle (depending on whether it's still cooling down from smoking a ricer...) and tops out at about 1250 WOT. That's what you should be looking for. up hills you might see a 2-300 degree increase. If you have a boost gauge, you'll see that go up, too. If it doesn't, there's something wrong.
Other than that, sounds about right.

525-650 crusing 65-75 mph

You need more air.

Scotty II intake (with the cowl hole) or bigger turbo.

Or less fuel.

Smaller injectors would help that.


Perhaps a small wedge of wood under the go fast pedal to keep it from going to WOT so much.

You should consider a scotty 2. If you don't mind the noise, STRAIGHT pipe it!! A bigger turbo can also solve your problems. I'd try the scotty 2 first and go from there.

HAHA, phox barely beat me to it!!! I guess smart minds think alike.

That would take all the fun out of it.
The truck has 4'' down pipe to tip no muff
I didnt want to spend $200 on a air filter so i got a BHAF instead.
I tryed a hx35 modded turbo and still hit 1550 degrees

How long can i hold 1550 safely?

phox_mulder

You could try setting the Turbo master a little higher.

Try 36# and see if it helps.

If you're still running the modded hx35, it could probably handle it?

I'd say no longer than 30 seconds.
About the length of a drag run or sled pull.
With a looooong cool down.

I have the stocker in the truck now. the higher i set the turbo master the higher the EGT I have the turbo master set at 24-30 right now to keep the EGT down

Eat Beef

You NEED a Scotty ll ! It will supply your charger with cold air. BHAF uses hot engine compartment air. Also, a larger compressor wheel would help.

What is a scotty 2? Sorry I'm just learning about diesel motors. I take it a bhaf is a big air filter?

dodgediesel4x4

Here is a scotty 2.

A bhaf is a Big Honkin Air filter. Here are some more terms to cram into your mind.
