Will advancing the pump timing lower egt? I know on a gas car you can make the headers glow red at idle if you retard the timing a bunch

I no rich and lean theary between gas and diesol are the opisit ,just making shore timing theary is the same!

Any ether ideas?

 

You could add the apropriate amount of air and then egts would be fine. Water/meth also helps a fair bit. The stock non intercooled intake horn is also very restrictive causing high egts. Stock exh is restricitive. Theres many things that can be modifyed/ improved for better flow to help cool things down

 

Does anybody make an aftermarket intake horn for us non-IC first genners?

 

no, you could either use one from a newer truck, order a 3 inch one from cummins (its not the same style as the non ic trucks), or have one custom made.

 

I sea in you discription that you are using the 16cm housing! did you have a pyro before you changed the 16cm housing? If so how much did it change egt?

Can you make your egt hit 1200*

I have bought a 16cm housing but if it won't help with the egt(esp. when pulling trailer) i'm not going to install it.

I know that i'm asking a lot of ????? but racing season is around the corner and would like to get over that d.,..m hill a litte bit better and with out wary of any damage to the eng.

 

To answer your original question, yes, advancing timing will lower EGT.

 

thanks

 

Another area that gets overlooked when EGT's are an issue is the AFC settings. There is a point were the benefit vs the side effects drops big time.
You can often ease or even make a fair bit of difference in EGT's by tweaking this thing....
Give it a try and see if you can find the middle ground were you feel no loss of performance but see some EGT improvement.

pb...

 

that just it, I bought it form the original owner and he said ether then the recall on the pump (when it was new) there has been nothing dun to the pump, and i can't get it to smoke in the day light at all?

 

At the time I installed my 16cm housing was the time I installed my pyro as well as POD injectors so I have no clue whether it made a difference or not

 

Thanks for the responce any ways!!!
