Let's not talk about the bikkies :p I've got a few more things to do to it before I dyno it and claim it finished engine wise
Your fuel economy figures, were they on the BFG muddies in your pic? Are they 33's? That is pretty good if they are, I am averaging around 12.5L/100 on my 33's with roof racks on (similar setup to you)
Yeah on the Muddies all though they are 235/85s (31.5's). I used to be getting about 12.5 with the roof rack on, and I don't drive slowly
750* is pretty high, but I take it if you back off throttle a tiny bit they go down dramatically yeah? Did gas increase or decrease EGT's? I can easily hit 720* @ 16psi been silly under load up hills, but its easy to keep them around max 650* with a bit of throttle control.
Yeh I don't like taking it above 750 for very long at all. I had it fueled up a fair bit, when I took it for a spin on gas the temps flew up to 720 with a small load up hill. So I have wound the fuel screw back 1/2 turn and it seems to be back where it was.
Do you still get full govt rebate ($2k ?)for diesel gas? Approx how much out of pocket were you?
Yeah the buggers have dropped it to $1750 then to $1500 for all conversions after June 30th. But yeah I will get the full $1750. The way bee utey did my conversion it cost me about $200 (after the rebate). Apart from travel from Tassie and a damn good holiday along the way
By far the cheapest and best upgrade I've done so far
Overtaking for me is basically a no no, or plan 5 mins in advance on a down hill run with a tail wind. :)
I should have taken you for a spin while I was in Melbourne waiting for the boat :twisted:
Sorry for 20 questions!
Cheers.
