EGT's on stock fueled OM617?
EGT's on stock fueled OM617?
Anyone have numbers? I'm only hitting 750° on a LONG pull.
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
That's really low. With stock fueling (no ALDA), straight pipe and a VNT I could hit 1100*F on steep hills with the trailer.
Idle was around 280*F, cruising was around 500ish IIRC.

Mine isn't stock fueling, so take it for what its worth to you. But If I am on a long long hill I can hit 1000, POST turbo. I dont ever push it farther than that, cause thats gettin pretty toasty.
Where are you collecting your #’s from captain?
Usually I can get it up to about 800*F on the freeway, I think the max I've seen it get was about 1000*F on a long uphill pull with the pedal floored. This ia with alda maxxed and boost turned up a bit, and straight pipe of course. Other than that its stock pump and non-egr manifolds. I haven't been using the water injection so no idea how that will affect things. My thermocouple thing is in the bottom of the flat spot pre-turbo, and I'm using a Sunpro gauge I got from Pep Boys
Hope that helps

I thought there were supposed to be crazy egt's with no rack limiter?

No, that's cut DV's or when you turn the screws up inside too much. No rack, but no other changes just gives you a little boost of fuel(2psi?)

850 - 900 is all im getting out of it. Guess I have a lot of room for fuel haha
I'm in the exact same boat. Never get over 950.
