i just did the washer trick and my truck fuels to about 3000 but my egts are gettin up to 1700 what do u think would make it run cooler other than less fuel

 

more air whats your current boost?

 

with a clean air filter 38

 

i was gonna do twin turbos cause i got a good vt-50 for free but i think its too big

 

anybody know what a good twin setup would be with a stock turbo

 

HT3B, K31 S471 or S475. How is your AFC tuned? How long does it take to get to 1700 degrees? Where is your timing at? Retarded timing will cause higher EGTs as well.

 

1700 degrees is asking to melt something. your stock turbo sounds inadequate if you dont want to put less fuel in it. Is it bogging when you stomp on it from a roll? If it is ur afc like tate said could be off dumpiing too much fuel b4 the turbo lights

 

my starwheel is loosened of all the way. never checked the timing in third gear is where im hitting 1700 real fast

 

ya it is boggin down when i stomp on it i just figured that was lag

 

you need some more air flow!!! CAI, Bigger turbo, Better intercooler, ect... all the above. Good luck.

 

should it run that hot with just the #5 plate and washers

 

well for my truck it will bog down at most half a second b4 the turbo lights and thats because i dont have my afc tightend. In your case it sounds like the afc is dumping alot of fuel (too tight)causing alot of heat b4 the turbo lights, combine that with a turbo that cant flow that much air and you wind up with high egts

 

Yes it can. A #5 plate is not a very good match for revised governor setting as it puts to much fuel into the upper rpm (close to a #0 plate).
Try pulling it back to stock position and resetting the governor arm.

I'll have to pull the plate from my pump and take a photo. It was cut by a pump builder. Strange plate, but I almost NO lag from a stop, fair smoke control and I really have to work to get my pyro to hit 1400°

 

Tighten up your AFC, and pull it back a bit. I try to get my trucks so its just a light haze when building boost. In the 12v, once it gets to about 35+psi is when the smoke gets thick. Lots of smoke off the get go is gonna hurt your performance and increase EGTs. Plate selection won't really factor into how the truck runs until the AFC gets out of the way. I run a zero plate in the 12v, and a 100 plate in the 24v, and both run well when just cruising around.
