Guest Terry S Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Mark, running TTC is fine. The highest my EGT's ever got was 950, and that was right on the change over, then they'd drop to 800, but I had plenty of fuel. You are removing the change over so it will help at that point. My probe was in # 6 BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Cheers guys, so what we are saying here then is the cylinders at the back of the engine run hotter, which sounds resonable as more heat can build up and not escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 would a trd vented bonnet help get heat out of engine? as the stock jap bonnet seems a bit closed in. just fitted my cw restrictor ring tonight at a local exhaust making place. the bloke was asking what it was for, i told him it was over boosting and he was saying why dont you just turn down the acctuator. i said its not like a cossie one where you can turn it up and down with a screw. got it fitted car still over boosts to 1.4 with overdrive off (3 gears) with overdrive on it seems to be about 1.3 bar. struggling for traction now. i know its not best time of year with roads been wet. been testing my launching out in TTC mode car spins then gets traction and squirms about. its mad in TTC mode as it sends car sideways too easy. you cant put power down fast but it sure is a kick when it comes online with 2 turbos. its that bad time of year when you dont need big power. just got my astra on road again for everyday use, it has no power steering and its hard to drive with out it. just looking round for some fuel mods and prices.
