cool down idle time

[Kleetus]

Pre turbo. That's the only accurate way.

Question, where'd you put the probe at? on the feed side of the turbine? The other question is how did you keep the drill shavings out of the rotor?

I don't know the answer to this one, and I could make a case either way, but wouldn't post turbo give you some indication of the amount of heat left in the driven wheel? I mean, if the gas temp is (picking a number) 300 degrees, and the driven wheel is say 1100 after a hard run, the pyro won't see that hot element, and would show a lower temp. After the turbo, that 300 degree gas is going to show up something higher than 300, at least until the rotor looses some heat to the gas going by it.

It's not like we're running a turbine engine, and injecting raw fuel ahead of the turbo, and worrying about melting something. I dunno. Ideas?

Kleetus,

The pre-turbo probe goes in the driver's side exhaust manifold. Remove it (the manifold) first and then drill and tap and clean obsessively. Or drill it in place and take a chance. I wouldn't/didn't.

Cool down/idle time seems to be a remnant of the old babbit bearing turbo days and because conventional oil would coke. Running synthetic? It is not supposed to be an issue now, yet I still listen to a song or two just as an excuse to let it cool down.

I just had BTS put the BD Diesel XMonitor on my truck last week. I learned real fast that I had been driving my truck to hard when pulling the Fifth Wheel. I turn it off at 400.

I hear you about the old bearings, not only coke the oil, but melt the babbit... it's not that high of a melting temperature.

Dunno... to some point I think post turbo is a more system wide approach to the temperature readings. I can't see a steady state temperature differential being more than 50 degrees. Could be wrong though.

You can now take the EBS out and put your pyro in there if you have had the latest flash

Budtoh3zo,

Are you talking about removing the Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor in the driver's side Exhaust Manifold to mount the Thermo-Couple? Don't you need that sensor?

 

[budtoh3zo]

X-Hibition yes thats the place, If you have the latest recall they take it out of service and use other sensor to replace it.
