F1HDR Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 That is funny banks does that. In this link to where to mount the probe, they suggest before the turbo. http://www.bankspower.com/techarticles/show/25-why-egt-is-important Lots of people put them before. I've seen them break and I'm smart enough to add 150 degrees to whatever it reads. 99% of people don't actually know what a safe temperature is for their engine anyhow.

willaduncan Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 Sweet. I'm not really familiar with performance stuff on the older 7.3's. (Like Tabata's, not the early 00's like your old one). My brother owns a diesel injection pump performance shop so I'm more in tune with the manual tuning. Learning about electronics though. My 6.4 has impressed me after minimal mods.

Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Well idk if that's what it is but it has done a hard start twice today I can keep the ignition in the start position for just a bit longer than normal and it will lug-lug-lug-fire Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

JTmachining Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 Until the probe rots off and goes through your turbo. I never put them before the turbo. Seen them wipe out too many turbine wheels. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk I was wrong. EGT is after turbo 1 Quote

LaegerEliminator Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 I was wrong. EGT is after turboThat explains why the numbers seemed pretty low to me for pre turbo / manifold readings. 1,200 post turbo is definitely on the high side. We avoid going over 1,000 on ours post turbo reading. Quote
LaegerEliminator Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 Just some info: On our 2000 7.3 we used to have the stock center section of the oem turbo with a Banks exhaust housing and then an ATS compressor housing with different compressor wheel. Any time we got over about 950 the truck would feel hot and you could tell you shouldn't go any further. We switched to a 38R ball bearing turbo which has a larger exhaust and compressor housing and flows a good bit more air. We can run up to about 1,100 on that turbo with very little heat feed back from the motor. Quote
