egt guage reads weird
just installed a auto meter egt guage pre turbo . just wondering what it should read normaly. right know its runs 800 just cruzing down the road at 65 hit the gas and it shoots way up to 1200 or more thanks for inputs.

What mods do you have? If you fill out a sig that will help
|
bhaf 4" turbo back exhuast guages is it that i know of just bought a week and half ago
|
Does it have a fuelling box or aftermarket injectors on it? Egts shouldnt be quite that high with no fuelling mods. It would be best to talk to the previous owner if you can.
|
im not sure what the previos owner did or didnt do bought it off a used car lot. so lets just call it STOCK. im thinking its a bad guage or thermal proab. just looking for numbers that everyone else runs.
|
My 01 is all stock with a small Programmer egt runs 600the winter and 700-800 in the summer with the ac on.
|
I cruise on the highway at 550-600 with 150 horse injectors... it's possible but not likely you have a bad gauge. Does the truck smoke at all when you stand on it? Have you done any digging under the hood looking for a box or anything?
|
smokes a littel found no power box. unless they used a superchip or somthing like that. pulled the pryo back out to make sure it was touching the bottom of the manifold it was not. did notice driving it today that it was reading 650 at 65 mph with 10 lbs of boost. i have a power puck on the way so ill have to see how high it runs with that
|
Id put a better lift pump like a raptor or airdog on it before you start adding power gotta keep that vp happy
|
my dually is stock now and my auto meter egt does the same thing but every once in a while it reads normal so i know its a bad gauge
|
I have heard that stock the pyro only gets to 1100.. only what i have heard. once you start modding it the temps will get higher.
|
since my truck is back stock. I have a hard time getting egt's over 1100 when not towing. So I would say you prob have a small set of injectors in the truck. I run 7-800 around town. You could also have a air filter plugged up as that will cause egt's to rise.
|
brand new air filter im thinking its the guage b/c everyday it reads somthing differnt
|
Got isspro guages on mine wouldn't buy any other brand. And you definately need a lift pump before you put your puck on the truck. And get you a fuel pressure guage
|
yea my truck doesnt even get over 1200 and i pull a 40ft trailer with two racecars on it and all i have for mods is an edge ez
