So people have been telling me different things. Will EGTS rise with a timing advance?

 

EGTs will drop with more timing. The combustion event happens sooner so more power is extracted. Lower egts. Cylinder pressure is higher however and in extreme cases contributes, along with high boost to head gasket failures.

In a mildly bombed engine a little timming is good, helps with egts and fuel economy. When you start seeing 40+ lbs of boost is when you need to start being concerned with timing and head gasket issues.

A note: Adding timing often will drop your peak boost a few psi. This is normal and just shows that you are getting more usefull energy out of your fuel and not sending as much un-used heat out the tailpipe.

 

Like Brainfade said. But also be warned...you keep more heat IN the engine, so if you have an iffy cooling system a timing bump *could* possibly push it over the top edge under heavy load.

 

i have a giant radiator, with an electric fan. I am in the process of getting the second stage part of the fan to work with a bigger relay. The fan is off of a taurus and is supposidly capable of flowing 4500 cfm according to many people. it is also mounted in the front of the radiator because of room issues. Is there anyway to make your coolant run cooler? like with an additive or anything.

 

Do you tow with it? Most people recommend letting off sooner, Like 1100* with the pump pushed to the head.
The pistons will be hotter at 1100* with advanced timing, than with probably 1300* and stock timing.

 

no i mud with it so the truck gets stuck and is stationary sometimes thus creating a huge hazard when it hit 1300 i had been playing in the mud for some time back and forth and the thing was pinned for only like 20 seconds however the coolant temp was about 210-220

 

If you are working the engine, but not really moving very fast, you might look into a water to air aftercooler. They are used in industrial apps. You can run engine coolant, or preferably a seprate cold water system.

 

Would that be useful in towing applications? I remember seeing that set up sombodys truck, but don't remember.

 

I am sure it would work great(with ice water), just not that practical for a daily driver. Unless you have an ice machine or live by a motel.

Blue Bird school buses had them, and used engine coolant. Most ford buses I have seen used an air to air.

 

if you run an auxiliary water system with a heat exchanger, it will work well... and remember, you can still run an air/air if you run the air/water!
