Ok guys, here goes. I have the ATS turboed engine in and running well, 04 intercooler and all the guages, water ,oil,pyro,boost,volts. What I need to know is what should I consider max water temp with the mechanical guage in the stock location? Oil is running 45 psi hot , knew I should have shimmed the spring but it is in spec. With the big intercooler boost comes up slow ,makes 5 to 7 with the camper on in 4th or 5th gear when you roll on the throttle, lots of torque, way more than the 460.
here is what I did
Built engine,1 sleeve, rest drilled the water jacket and inspected,standard bore,coated the pistons, bored the precups deeper and even depths, balanced, polished ports,cam ground with a little more lift and duration,dry film coated the rockers,,turbo exh valves,luk single mass set. Ats wastegated turbo,ps ic new rad,4 inch after downpipe,converted to ac,rebushed front and rear springs, new u bolts, cab mounts fuel tank mods and bronco rear tank,355 gears rebuilt front axle complete. Many nights till midnite the last 3 weeks.
Some temp guideline would be great and I will do a folio when we get back from vacation.
mel wants pics and text on the build.
thanks for the good info on this project.
