Question with hi egts

[Gu01patrol]

Would like to information please,

started on the NADS conversion, just installed a 3 inch X-Force exhaust systems with a PYRO and Gauge (AUBER INSTUMENTS) I have the EGR block off plate but not installed yet, I have the Dawes valve also not installed as yet Engine is a ZD30TDDI I am waiting on boost controller and another Tee pce before I install the rest.

I have just taken her for a test drive and have found the Boost comes on a little earlier now, around 2500rpm, the gears wind out a lot smoother and feels better in each gear, but I know can see that the pyro readings are around 750-850 C with boost and can climb to around 950 without boost say in 5th gear around 110k's

Boost max at the moment has dropped from 14psi to 10psi which I can adjust after the dawes is installed

So my question is when I have blocked og the EGR and installed the Dawes Valve would it be fair to say I would achieve pyro reading at around the 550 C mark

If this is what they are know I can only imagine what they would have been like before

any input would be great full

750 - 850 degrees geeeee u want that thing to go BANG....... If i was you id be backing off at 500 and going no higher than 550 max wow. U should be installing the needle valve with the dawes to bring those egts down.

yes i am just waiting for the needle valve to arrive so i can install it them, i assume it being like it for a while we had the head done about 18 months ago and now trying to do the NADS conversion, if i back off to 500 or 550 i will never get anywhere, i just hoping that the pump is not on its way out as well

is that Pre or Post turbo temp readings?

If that is Post turbo then you have some serious issues my friend!!! you need to Check your Wiring. get it on a Dyno FAST> and calibrate your gauge against the Dyno gauge.

good luck

I would be parking that thing up and taking it nowhere, for your sake i hope you have a faulty gauge

[Gu01patrol]

no these are post readings, unless i have stuffed up the settings on the gauge, but i don't thinks so, as i am 4-5 hours from my nearest dyno but i hope to have it there soon, its a risk i have to take at the moment, this is why i asked the question.

just say a prayer for me then

[Gu01patrol]

well i hope i have set the gauge wrong, but that's what i am seeing at the moment. i think i need to get a infra red thermo reader to ensure the readings i am getting are correct

[MudRunnerTD]

i think you have it set in Fahrenheit? i hope you do

[Gu01patrol]

no i checked it a few times it shows it in Cel
