:eek: My 01 DMAX is runnining a 4" Banks, SC 3, 1057,And Hot Juice. I am not concerned so much with the black smoke as i am about the 1600 F. + egt,s. i am seeing. Dont want water/meth or bigger Turbo, any suggestions? PLEASE no heavy foot jokes, i realy dont want to hurt my engine, if there are other proven EGT REDUCERS out there. Thanks Guys.:)

maybe a 5 inch system with a true 4 inch downpipe

Could changing out the intake or adding an aftermarket intercooler drop the temps enough?

Other then that i would seriously look at Water/Meth from all the how to's i've seen in magazines for the installs they really don't look that hard and really work well at reducing temps.

Those egt's seem really high. Ive got about the same setup and i dont think i have ever got that hot.

How long are you keeping your foot in it? That degree seems high..

Have you put a boost valve on it yet? If not, that could help a bit.

bd exhaust manifold helps.....i heard people have had a lot of problems with the banks intercooler though

Put in a boost valve if you don't already have one. 1600 degrees isn't bad if you only have it there for a very short time. If towing try not to run hotter that 1200-1300 degrees for a prolong period of time.

i used to run 18XX degrees going through the traps racing. that would be in 12.XX seconds too

Are you towing or hauling heavy? My home made boost control helped my EGTs with the 85hp Predator.

How about better tuning.. nothing else is really going to drastically drop your EGT's. What driving conditions are you seeing these temperatures under???

You need more air, or less fuel.

Either dial down the tuning, or get a bigger turbo. There is no other way:)

Might try a downpipe on your exhaust. You've still got that stock bottleneck coming off your turbo, and that Edge is NOTORIOUS for high EGT's. I've got a downpipe on my Banks exhaust and it helped a TON. I never see high EGT's .

Ditch the hot juice and go with a ppe tuner.

ARbowhunter7 QUESTION. What make turbo down pipe did you install , and did you have to modify the Banks 4'' Monster exhaust to make it fit?Thanks MIKE.
