Cant keep the egt temps down!!!

[Greenbeast6.9]

Just towed my broncoII to a mud race on close to flat ground and am having the temps hit 1200 easily. I have to back off the petal and i loose all my momentum.

Oh and i already installed new injectors and a pump!!!

Ordered a hypermax turbo, should be here tuesday, but why would the temps be that high?? Oh and there is a LOT of black smoke when im on it.

Sounds like you have the IP turned up to much. Also get a shop with the right equipment to check your timing.

to much fuel not enough air, i fight with high egt's lots to need a turbo. I have hit 1450*F not something i would recommend

NA motors are going to run warmer than a turboed truck. Not enough air to burn all that fuel. Once you get a turbo on there, you will be fine, may be able to turn the pump up a little further. Scotty

thanks guys i just thought it was a little odd that the temps went that high because i have not touched the pump. will see about the timing also.

Ford has always run there motors to the limits from the factory

Like Scotty said, NA IDI's will make scarey EGT's even with the stock IP settings. The Turbo will lower you EGT's, even with the IP turned up. It makes the motor much more efficient.

That's why I think all diesels (especially NA's) should have pyrometers. Just think if you didn't have a pyro and you drove at those high EGT's unknowingly. Might melt 'er down.

Anyway, you'll love the turbo.
