Getting hot after Dawes needle and 3"

Give it a decent spray with something suitable ,,then have a beer and a sit down
then try again,,, repeat till bolt comes out LOL

take it youre using the one on the first bend closest to the turbo??

Certainly odd this one. I think it has to be coincidental. Incorrectly tuned valves could result in high EGT's, but not water, I would think.

But if your motor is burning heaps of fuel with not enough boost (incorrect ratio ) , therefore high egts, therefore that heat will the transfer onto your cooling system ...
Amarite ?

exhaust gas EGT will get hotter with low boost and over fueling,
cant see how that can transfer to the cooling system??

So you push your motor up a hill regardless if it's overfuelling or not , your Egts go up, so obviously the motor is running warmer then.... What do you think cools the motor ? Coolant !
So therefore coolant will definitely get hotter. It's all relative .

exactly what I have experienced in the last few weeks as I have been playing with the valve settings and even let the ecu have a go at controlling boost (not a good outcome on hilly terrain). Boost and egt would fluctuate with terrain but water temp was getting hot at around 100 deg C. That extra heat in the head from combustion transfers into the coolent. Now I have set the boost to be around 19 max with a fairly aggressive spool rate and temps are down to what they used to be before I started mucking around with it.

@growler2058 Did you get the probe in ???

Nah now im at work. Sprayed with wd40 but it just burns off. I need to take the WD to work spray the bastard when its cool and try again in a few hours
