just wondered if anyone had thrown in a set of big sticks on top of a Banks Ottomind???? the Ottomind is a 145hp Powerpack version, & I'll also be runnig 4" exhaust & a 14cm wastegated exhaust housing, I know heat shouldn't be an issue with the Ottomind tuner, since it dies off at 1250* anyway, but I just wondered how the sticks & the box might act together, should pull really hard for a bit until the Ottomind kils the fuel right????? just wondered if anyone had tried it ??? thanks alot, Dusty

 

If the ottomind defuels at 1250* then the sticks will make it get there alot quicker and alot smokier but it will still fall on its face at 1250*.

 

If that's how the Banks works, you're on the right track...GO, GO, GO, WHOA!!

Wanna fool it
Just put the pyro probe post turbo and it will de-fuel when it hits 1250...which will give you plenty of room to make power

Except that he'll really be pushing 1550*!!!

That's a good idea though! I can't stand how the boxes that have the defuel feature in them work. You get crazy power and then all of sudden lunge forward like you hit something.

 

Probably more than that...I've seen as much as 500* difference from the probes at higher boost and EGT's.

My life starts at 1300* right now Peak EGT's are almost 1800* by 100MPH...good thing I have the valet switch Need to get my new charger on

already got that one in the works Chris!!!!! I have an elbow off the HX35 on my 01' & the Banks stuff came with the extra manifold that is tapped so.................... I'm planning on putting the pyro probes both places & wiring a toggle switch up between the 2!!! kinda like your valet on the old 95' I would imagine!! LOL I think it'll work out ok, how do ya think the clutch will hold up??? I know the 5spds seem like they stand a little more before letting go than the 6spds we've bombed???? I think if I treat it right it may get me a few more miles???? I really was planning on leaving this truck the way it was too!! but I figure if I bomb the crap out of this one maybe it'll keep my greasy paws off the 6.7L for a little while when it gets here!!!! we'll see if I get the sticks bought & the Banks stuff should be here wed. or thurs. & I'll get it all slapped on this weekend, I'll let ya'll know how the toggle switch deal works out?? Dusty

 

I take it you are having fun with the new tranny??

I wonder if you can get the manifold to glow??

 

Sounds like a plan...where you buying the sticks from??

Chris

 

Why not just run the pre-turbo to the guage and post-turbo to the box?

 

Dusty you will have to let me know how it works, i have been thinking exactly the same things you are, i even e-mailed banks to ask them what the box would do with injecters they really had no answer for. Then i decided that i didn't need bigger injecters to push snow this winter. Maybe this summer, a little off subject anybody do a Ottomind Smarty stack? I was thinking that the smarty with injectors might pick up were the box shuts off. I got to try them together at a dyno day but did not get enough time to play with the different settings and timing.

 

On the Ottomind the pyro gauge hooks in the box not directly from the couple, i know what your saying but i don't know if the box would work right with out everything plugged in. With banks its safety first, so to moniter it right or safely you might need to run 2 gauges i don't know if you can cut and splice the pyro wires and have them work right.

 

Run the post turbo pyro leads to the ottomind box. then run the pre turbo pyro to the gauge. but you'll need a different gauge then banks. if this the route taken, ditch the banks gauge all together. i can't see why it wouldn't work.
