since i changed my vp44 about 3 weeks ago,truck run good and i got alot of fuel now,
in fact i got so much fuel that egt get out of control too fast
and i never had this before,but i saw that boost stop building around 20 and if i push hard enough and carefull not to go too high i can go to 25 but i have to stop there cuz egt climb to 1400 at
that point....

ive stacked my smarty whit my edge and now truck pull stronger than ever but i have to watch egt closely,
even before i put smarty into the equation i hadnt over 25psi of boost but i had no egt problems

i was accustomed to see around 40psi easy

maybe a air leak?

since i put my smarty on RPM-MPH-BOOST-EGT are all connected to the same pedal DAMN I LOVE THAT THING,just have to find why it dont go over 25 and at 40psi it will be perfect

any clues guys?

 

yank your map sensor and clean it off with some contact cleaner or carb cleaner. then check all your boots and make sure they are tight.

 

I noticed a bit less boost with the Smarty than I did with the Edge alone.

BUT, I also noticed lower EGT's with it.

If I have the Edge cranked up, my times on the track were a bit slower because it would de-fuel and I had to back out because of the temps.

Now, when I cranked the Smarty up and turned the Edge down, the EGT's came into check and the times got faster. But, I wasn't bouncing off my boost limiter either.

Try turning the Edge down and come up on the Smarty.

 

edge on 2-5 and smarty on 2-4-6-8 all does the same effect
even whit edge on 1-5

ill try that drew

 

Rich. . .you just reminded me of something. . .when I bumped up the timeing on my smarty alone my EGT's were lower, then when I bumped the rail pressure, my EGT's and boost numbers both went down. getting the fuel in sooner I do know lowers EGT's and there is also less heat in the exhaust so there is less energy going to the turbo.

woli's issue. . .I'm just starting with the simple stuff I guess.

 

That's what I'm doing with it right now.

I have the timing bumped with the Smarty, not a lot of advance but a bit. And I'm using the Edge's timing too.

I have the TQ management turned off and it comes on pretty good down low.

But, yeah, you're right, the boost comes on lower and just doesn't peak as high.

I think I may have to retard the timing juuuuuust a bit though. I'm getting a bit too much smoke under low throttle and I have the Ege on 1 and the Smarty on 1 right now. It'll actually haze pretty good. Especially since I just changed my nasty fuel filter. [:-]

 

i had low boost before putting smarty on.....
i have too much fuel so too much egt

 

I still like the leaky boot idea. Maybe you should replace em with those silicone ones?

 

guess what mayfair?
i already did buddy....

but if its a leak why boost is building quickly till i hit 25 psi???

 

You got the silicone boots? From where?

I didn't realize that you were building boost quickly to 25lbs. I thought you were snailing up to that point.
