EGT'S safe or not!!
 

i live in florida and its getting to be about 85/90 degrees while toweing my comercial boat today on the turnpike running 80 mph my egts were at 1250-1320 depending on if it was pulling or coasting. i only have to drive that speed for about 15 mins from west palm to jupiter, my question is. is that temp to hot to run on my B.D SUPER B SPECIAL? i ran my truck tonight wide open through all the gears with everything turned up and i hit about 950 degrees max egt. i would like to keep it in the 3 diget range while toweing. im thinking of some water meth, or change my injectors to either smaller or some ddp 150's.this is my busy season and i will be toweing a 31 foot boat almost everyday. any help would be great!
thanks guys :tu:

i thought anything over 1200 degrees for any length of time you was hitting on the upper limit :humm:

in the 1/4 mile i can hit 2100 degrees water meth will give you a 2 to 300 degree drop but becareful you can quench it with to much you will know
anymore questions about water meth dont hesitate to ask

okay question what about the 1200 degrees that anything above for so long melts alumnium like your pistons how do you get away with that :humm:

if you keep it above that for a long time yes you will begin to make your truck melt down, but the average time its there for its not going to hurt anything, just be sure to let your truck cool off before you just turn it off, invest in a turbo timer :tu:

What injectors you running now?

yes get a cleaner injector and you will be happy
been there myself.

The DDP's are nice injectors, when my 80hp mystery injectors went bad, I got 125hp DDP's, I have lower egts, and less smoke with these, much cleaner

B.D pulce 150's just another cheap injector like the jammers

Don't be scared of 1300. I have a 1600* pyro and you know its hot when you lift your foot and it takes 6 seconds for the needle to fall past 1600*. These engines are rated and 1250 all day.
