19 psi and 1000 degree EGT

[dyoung14]

This evening i wired the wastegate shut because i suspected it was still letting boot bleed off, and i was right! i can now hit 19psi on flat ground at oonly 1000 degree EGT so tomarrow im gonna make a run up the mountian and see how high i can get it to boost and what kind of egts i hit now that i know the wastegate is not comming open at all,

The IP is completely maxxed out by the way

Are you trying to blowup your engine

Are you trying to blowup your engine

not really but im just trying to find the breaking point and so far i havent found that

 

[mabc926]

And this is with no head studs?


I know in you're sig it says all gaskets are copper coated, does this mean the headgaskets too?

The copper coat could be doing it, no joke, I copper coated the gaskets on my old POS engine, and it took forever to get them off.

What do u mean by "copper coated"? As in copper sprayed?? Im building an engine this winter and Im curious

 

[mabc926]

Yup, copper coat, you can get it at autozone.

Spray your gasket with a few coats, wait for it to get tacky, and put your gasket on, once you get all the bolts torqued down it won't go any were.

 

[CSARebel916]

Im deff gonna have to try that!

 

[dyoung14]

I didnt do the head gaskets, they have some sort of coat already on them when you get them, i dont all the rest of the gaskets, and yes this is with no studs just bolts over torqured 10 ftlbs

I'm scared to see what would happen if I wired mine shut..... but ohhh so interested.

hehe

How long do you hold 19 psi and 1000 egts for? A couple seconds or for an extended period?

You need a load behind or in that thing. Then you will see what it's got.
Side note, I Copper Coat'ed my head gaskets. Before that I was blowing felpros with ARP's.

Glad you finally got that pyro installed! I bet your egts will get a lil scary going up the mountain! Man this makes me want a turbo'd idi! I'll get one one of these days.

 

[junior20762003]

keeping a close eye on this,and for sure stick a load behind it.

I'm pretty sure he is (and IIRC it won't be the first one he's sent to an early grave)...and, while he may not have had an immediate failure this time around, that doesn't mean that his engine's life hasn't been substantially shortened. I admit to being surprised how well the head bolts have been holding up this far, but that still doesn't mean they'll hold indefinitely. FWIW the one diesel I've killed (turns out 1300 degrees post-turbo EGT's is bad for an engine, whodathunkit? ) took over a year for symptoms to pop up.

I weep for that poor, tortured engine...OTOH, from what he's said, complete, running IDI engines are apparently a dime a dozen in Tennessee, so no worries about killing one

Sorry if I sound like I'm cranky...I've had a rough last few days...
