sct and egt problems

[ssb541]

i just bought the sct livewire from innovative diesel with tunes from eric, after subscibeing to this chat room everyone convinced me it was the way to go. so i yanked the edge. but know i have huge egt problems when running the extreme steet tune it will hit 1600 i have 4" exhaust, banks intake and intercooler

you need to call eric and have him tweak the tune for you he will get you right.

1600 is pretty hot bud! see if Eric can tune it down a bit. oh yeah, Welcome to the site!

Whers is your EGT probe placed?

Or, contact Eric to make sure all his settings transferred properly.

[ssb541]

it is on the drivers side manifold in the very back

when i had the edge it would read about 200 degrees cooler than my gauge

1600 is pretty warm, you'd have a hard time hitting those EGT's on stock injectors. A set of 190cc injectors and you may hit those temps on a stock turbo. My guess is the gauge is off. Either way, I can definitely pull some fuel. Email me and I'll tone it down a bit. Thanks!

It sounds like you may have your probe directly in one of the exhaust ports. I would check with another gauge before you condemn the tune. With Eric's Xtreme Street I have a hard time seeing much over 1200 degrees.

i would rather not tune it down i love the power. for some reason the street ran hotter than the race. would you trust the edge gauge or a cheaper analog gauge. if it will work i'll hook the edge back up and run it on the stock setting

That can't be correct or you'd be losing power. At over a constant 1550 you'd be melting the corners off or your factory
turbo fins!!!!!!
