outatime Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I realise there are threads related to this going on at the moment, but I can't find the info i'm after... I'm thinking of going (temporary) TTC at the weekend, has anyone got EGT/AFR readings that show that the engine runs leaner or hotter as a direct result of TTC? Cars off the road at the mo, but i'm running full decat at 1.0-1.1 bar with no additional cooling or fueling - this will be sorted soon. Cheers.

outatime Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 Does no one look at their EGT gauge once they go TTC or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 monkey - IIRC, you have the erl system in yours ? if so, have you noticed any temp differences after installation ? are you using methanol if you have the system ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 chris plumbed it in to washer system that has part methanol in the washer fluid. i wanted to have a seperate tank for water injection. and maybe mix it 50/50 water/methanol i got it fitted as a safe measure. seems to have brought temps down a bit, but still hitting upto 1000 degrees on high boost. at about 70-80mph they are about 700 degrees need to check it out more. that lad i know with high power cortina runs 100% methanol water injection and loads of nos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your EGTs higher in TTC? I'm just worried that running in TTC with no added fueling/cooling at ~1.1bar might be pushing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 They should be fine, if not cooler at the changeover point, as stated in the other thread;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outatime Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 Cheers Terry, I saw what you said in Monkeys thread about EGTs, same goes for the AFR? I remember GavinL posting a thread about his TT running lean when hitting boost in TTC mode, the thread ended up going on about what AFR was - I just wanted clarification from some of the TTC people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I really wouldn't want to say on AFR. I would be a great idea to get someone to check it with a wideband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 gavs car didnt go lean it went rich. my afr is fine in ttc, but each car is different and im not on the standard map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 thanks 4 the reply monkey. matt plumbed mine into the regular washer bottle but was told to get a mk 2 or 3 escort bottle that would fit nicely between the battery n the front bumper (?). since i got the EGT gauge done at the same time, i am unaware of temp differences. on WOT, i hit about 920-950 (1.2ish) ... methinks this may be a little too high maybe ?

Steve W2 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Originally posted by MONKEYmark that lad i know with high power cortina runs 100% methanol water injection and loads of nos So its methanol injection then? Why do you guys use methanol, I am intrigued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
