Recently bit the bullet & got my ZD30Di fully rebuilt by an engine reconditioner, installed engine back in the car with everything as per before the rebuild.
But on the first drive I noticed my EGT's would get to 500 degrees quite easily on small hills.
After the drive I cleaned the MAF, put a new air filter in, checked over all the hoses & there doesn't seem to be any boost leaks/all the hose clamps are tight.
Also lowered the Tillix valve ramp a touch & increased the needle valve boost pressure to 16/17psi, this seemed to help a fair bit.
But driving around town I'm still find it sitting between 280-385 degrees on the EGT gauge, but the temperature drops fairly quickly when stopped or idling to around 220-250 though.
I also have noticed the car smells a bit sooty/unburnt diesel just after you turn it off.
The car is a 2005 ZD30DI with the following modifications/parts replaced:
-Engine rebuilt with every part replaced or refurbished (All genuine Nissan parts used except pistons which weren't available in 0.5mm oversized)
-Tilliex boost controller
-Cross country top mount intercooler with undermount fan (Cleaned out any oil residue before installation)
-EGR blocked at manifold & intake
-Provent 200 catch can
-high flow airbox & stainless snorkel
-K&N air filter
-Spill line mod on the injectors/ fuel pump
-Silicone intake pipe
-Aluminum radiator
-6 month old genuine Nissan MAF
-Year old genuine Nissan Injectors & Rebuilt fuel pump
-New genuine Nissan exhaust manifold
-Inconel exhaust studs for manifold/turbo/dump/egt tube
-Brand new genuine Nissan gaskets used throughout
Is there anything else you guys can recommend to check/replace that may help bring down the EGT's/reduce the possible over fueling?
Is it possible that the cams/fuel pump might be a tooth out causing the high EGT's? (not sure if it just wouldn't start if it was a tooth out of time?)
