To a point, yes. Not so much if you are already running pretty solid timing. Retarded timing is where you see greatly increased EGTs due to left over fuel.

 

unless your at the knock limit adding advance will always decrease EGT, let me see if I can find my source

First one is a great read for LNF guys

 

I didn't disagree with you???

Point is, you benefit from running as much timing as you can run without detonation. This isn't a recent discovery

 

hi. welcome to 1995.

 

not sure where that came from. But my point is that the cooled EGTs of ethanol allow leaner lambda ratios to be run and knock iat points to be higher, not that the lower combustion temp allows you to run more timing. which is what you initially had said

 

most of your monkeys on this forum have never seen and egt gauge let alone used one.

 

Thank you for sparking my memory. Need to order a new bung to weld into my turbo manifold for my defi egt gauge. Couldn't really just cut the old one out of the header when I sold it

 

Lol I was thinking that but didn't want to say it. People love to read and preach. I am going on personal experience on a car I converted to E85 that has an EGT installed in the dash permanently. Added boost, added timing, added fuel, saw changes. That's what matters to me.

Lol, small hole saw and just tell the guy buying it that it's for an O2 bung?

 

css = so many

 

Well I sold it to my friend who bought my TVS as well so there would have to be some serious convincing skills

 

If people actually used egt's, they stop the **** and moan about intake temps on e bs.

 

you know what assuming does

 

Wasn't directed at you. Calm down.

 

not wrong, all metal intakes touching a metal head will heat transfer period . e85 isnt going to change the operating temperature of your engine, if it operates at 180* the head will still see temps similar and will transfer those to your intake manifold.

your searing heat issues I would blame on tuner, and your car warned you prior to it leaning out in a split second and then dead motor, you had other issues. I have pushed my EGTs up over 1600* to decrease spool time (and that is a bone stock LSJ) and when I got the spool I wanted I left it there. 1300-1600* in the mid range run after run after run, daily drove it for more than 6 months that way

I know you arent making me run this fuel, hence I havent bashed any of you guys that are running it, I just simply explain my opinion on the matter and what I would do if I did decide to run any form of alcohol based fuel. I respect all of you guys that make big power on it, I just ask for the same respect for me running pump gas.

keep over complicating things, I enjoy reading and learning exactly how something works instead of "um , I pour it in my car and , um , it goes faster and , um , yea" Learning what works and doesnt work helps to further what we are all doing and keeps us from wasting money on parts that break or directions that are unnecessary.

 

EGT was the second gauge I bought after wideband

 

^^^^this. ^^^^an d previous above it lol

pump gas for me. 94.

its got ethanol in it. 10%. o well. car runs fine

egt? I got 'em. I see 1700-1800 on track or at 150 mph continuous. s'alright/s'ok

 

damn that's impressive, I'm shitting my pants when I pull thru 4th and see 1200*. stupid LE5

 

thanks, if I kept temps near 1k my lazy ass turbo would never spool, pushed it as hot as I could get it

 

I'll be putting an egt in my manifold as I learned from diesels on the farm. Monitoring everything is always a good idea

 

What gear are you in at 150mph? My 4th gear at 7200rpm shows 152mph on the dyno

 

5th. 4.45. I aint looking for 2 mph its a freaking redline with the speedo in the passenger compartment. I use gps and look at it after.

 

I wouldnt know how fast mine is lol, I just see it in the logs after, was just getting an idea of what gears you would see on a road course at those speeds

 

just because we haven't had a picture in here for awhile

 

blkwdo. didn't your **** go blamo.

 

yep who told ya?

Ive been working on rebuild.

I have:
Diamond Pistons (stock compression, coated)
Pauter x-beam rods
knife edged and coated crankshaft (waiting to get crank key extended)
160lb/hr injectors

still need:
block to get sleeved by mr. b
head to go to M2
order cams springs and valves

then its just reassemble tune and run
