Looks like I'll have a "looksee" and get some ideas. Do keep me posted on the progress of this.

The BIGGEST problem I have with my KKK turbo is unreliable wastegate control. If I set it for 11psi for normal driving the exhaust will overflow the wastegate and goto 15psi during highspeed/rpm driving. If I set it max at 11psi, it has a very hard time going above 8psi during normal driving. This is the only reason I'm thinking of rebuilding my stock Garrett/AirResearch T3 and using shims to get 13-14psi when I'm intercooled. BTW, did anybody ever find out what the factors were in MB using the Garrett vs. the KKK? I've seen many 83-85SD's with the Garrett but only one 83SD (The one I have now from a pick-n-pull yard) and one 84SD with a KKK. |

I have my EGT pre-turbo mounted dead center in the manifold where all the flows converge before entering the turbo (seemed like a decent spot...lots of space so its reasonably far from metal around it).
Running Petro-diesel the EGT's can reach upwards of 1150-1200F even with an unmodified IP (only an ALDA adjustment) and boost at 12-13psi. It takes me a bit of romping/hill climbing to get that last 50-100 degrees but I have had it right up to 1200 with stock IP setup. Just keep this in mind when playing with goodies. When running bio-diesel, the EGT's have a hard time reaching 1000F max and there is a "noticeable yet not sizeable" decrease in "getup and go" The last batch acted weird so I will report when I have some better b100. BTW lower percentages bio (less than 100%) in petrol diesel seems to only make it quieter without suffering the power/EGT drops. |

The perfect example of why an EGT is imperative when you want to piddle with the IP......some cars are better off to begin with. And you won't know that without a guage. Turn a car up to something that gets you 1,400+ degrees and you are going to be crying when you melt down a perfectly good engine.

Has anyone considered going from the stock 2.2-2.5" downpipe to a 2.75-3" to increase area to reduce EGTs?
I see it happen all the time in newer Turbo Diesels so I don't see why the same can't apply here also

Problem is it doesn't help at the head.....and valves will suffer........High EGT is simply too much fuel for the availible air on a diesel.
