I'm sure @Slumberjack can quote the a/f ratio but to me, in a diesel, bulk excess smoke is excess heat my engines can do without. Mild and long lasting for the kiwi fulla.
Same way it's done in west vagin
off the porch ?
This is correct. Smoke is unburnt fuel, which is also wasted heat energy.
Porch, roof, window.....
Can't even try your hardest to get mine to 1150 egt. Cool running engine with modern t4 Borg Warner turbo.
i dont have a gauge for that fancy *s-word lol but engine and transmission never go over 200 degrees
Can also be done with old school turbos. Ya need 2 though. Smaller one feedin the bigga one.
Trans temps and EGT are 2 totally different things.
Lol you should that's the number one diesel killer is egt. Water temp on mine is about 200 average. Manual transmission so no gauge for that chit lol.
Your goin to bed.
Converting to modern t4 was the best thing I did to my truck. The new turbo technology is far superior to the old. T4 swap is pretty common on the Cummins also.
i know what it is
i know
lol when i blow it it wont be stock after lol
night gramps
Diesel run better a bit hotter. They like 209-210. Many thermostats are at this setting. The warmer the fuel before combustion, the more complete the burn.
Cummins swap?
I'd rather error towards cooler than hotter especially when towing heavy.
That POS Toyota Surf would hit 900C (1650F) pre turbo under load so fast when i first got it that i'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
