What did you do to your Patrol today!

Sold it :(

But I have another on the way!

Cuppa, well done.
There is no better feeling than the one after successful completion of a good job.
Some data, pre and post dyno tune.
New tips were fitted to injectors, pump serviced, glow plugs checked, turbo checked, new filters, pre and post tune run on dyno.
EGT was 630, now 550 max
Water range 75 - 105 no change
Boost was 9.6, now 15.1 max. (They say its about 13psi.)
Those are my gauge readings.
RWBHP was 97, now 122 max (at 120 kph 4th gear)
Over 125 RWBHP needs lots more fuel, so they limit tune for economics in my case.
I seem to be 2 litres per100 klm better, only one tank so far.
But what a car to drive, goes so much better.
Local 5th gear test hill, was 100 at bottom 88 at the top. Now 100 at the top.
Very happy.

What are the differences in egt’s you see at say 90kph between when you are pulling your ct & when you’re not? (i realise mine will be different due to different motor & different ct, but i’m interested in what sort of variations you might see).

I was surprised that the egt’s didn’t seem especially rev related, but rather were more ‘work’ related. E.g. Went higher when pulling up hill in a high gear, reducing if i changed down.
Yet on the flat i could be cruising along at 110 with only 350deg showing. I was also surprised at how quickly the egt’s could rise & fall. Need more time to suss out the relationship between boost & egt’s.

sounds like you have it under control write down your temps what they are now put your ct on and do exactly
the same run and speeds you did with out temps will rise a tad quicker and might go 5 or 10 degrees higher
but the longer the hill temps may go higher
you,l know after awhile what your temps are running at then its time for your dyno and tell (as winnie said)tuner
what you intend on doing as in towing and econemy good luck with it mate
it can get frustrating at times sorting it out to suit your needs

Put the superior engineering sway bar disconnects I got FOR FREE!!

What???????

I bought some shoo roo sonic devices (from SCA for $6) and put them on the Patrol today.

They should allow me to get a bit laxed with my evasive driving now, I've lost track of the number of close calls I've had out here at 4am in the morning. Those buggers come out of nowhere in the dark.
