I have a turbo question
Finally had chance to install the probe in the manifold and its reading almost 1200. I have started building my own water injection setup, the only thing that is holding me on it rite now is making a trigger for it. If Im not mistaken, shouldnt lowering the EGTs with the injection, shouldnt it create better power?
you run the chance of blowing a head gasket with the water/meth set up as cylinder presure will be increased. yes it will make it run cooler with power gains. i would lose the 370's or bump your timing to 16 or 16.5. timing will help quite a bit
Sorry bout that one guys, I been meaning to change that. I removed the 370s a couple of weeks ago because all those damn things did was make smoke. I mean sure, I got SOME power out of them but not what I thought I should have. I put a set of DD 140s in and noticed a HUGE difference in power and even more power once I advanced my timing to 17 degrees. I believe if I would have went any further, I would have moved a whole tooth.
so can you get new wastegate to fit the stock turbo because when i step on it i get really high egts and i want to do something to it to settle them down without buying a new turbo right now.
Any boost pressure above 40psi on a HX35 or WH1C is a waste of time and doing absolutely nothing for power other than super heating the intake air charge.
