WLT 2.5L Exhaust Gas Temperatures (Egts) More Power & Upgraded Billet Turbo in Action!
Рет қаралды 21,784
Күн бұрынHey everyone!
This video is aimed to help people tune their Mazda Bravo/Bounty/Ford Couriers with acceptable exhaust gas temperatures. Also to help understand the trade-off between over fueling and under fueling to help find the perfect power-to-fuel ratio on a diesel. By showing you what sort of temperatures and fuel adjustment I am running this video is attempting to help guide people trying a similar setup.
As always thank you for watching and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Nice work mate. I'm building mine at the mo. For charge piping it has to be flanged otherwise it will keep slipping off. Get it flanged then make sure the hose clamp is right up against that flange :)

Thanks mate, the air intake is off a fella on who custom makes them, though I went a different direction as they cause a considerable amount of turbo lag, even with an early spool and high boost.

Everyone and their nan that's watched this video has probably said it at this point. But a bead in the charge piping for the clamp to grip onto will really help with popping hoses. The one shown had no bead.

@Finndawg No problem, just a rarity to find in-depth content on this engine. For its time, it was a good design, and I like them. They also seem to go forever, usually outlasting the "ute" itself. Like I've seen many cases where the car is falling apart or needs a lot of work, but the engine is still sweet.

How did you go with the A Pillar pod, I have the same one in my Caprice and it doesn't fit the car properly, it fucking flops around while driving and gives me the absolute shits - how is yours secured? With the charge piping popping off, if the pipes have a lip rolled into them a little bit down from the edge and you secure the hose clamps over it, should prevent them from popping off like they do if the pipe is just bare.

Hey Mate, Love your vids. I've heard that the radiator fans actually suck about 5HP of power. Have you considered removing the blades and using an electric fan? I did this in the early '70s and it made the engine perform much better and reduce running costs. The engine is a shit ton quieter too. Maybe do a vid to prove or disprove the theory?
@biggles9604 Жыл бұрын
This bravo did get recked and he saved the engine and dropped it in a courier so even more reason to check out electric to see the difference.

only reason I don't advise going electric, is if you're in the middle of nowhere and an electric fan goes you're stuffed. A viscous fan has much less chance of being damaged and will get you out of trouble :)

Sorry mate I never saw this comment, sorry for such a late response. I am willing to lose 5hp on the grounds that viscose fans rarely fail, and they are actually alot more effective at pulling air through the engine bay, radiator and intercooler than electric fan.

They're good for upto 30psi on stock internals, I wouldn't say it'd be safe to run 30 consistently although you'd definitely be sacrificing longevity and reliability.
