Message: [QUOTE="Dan, post: 1248914, member: 12188"] Ok so I had a sweet set of days off, towed a little tent trailer down into Saskatchewan, did some boating and camping... Was good to get away for a bit! So as far as the charge air cooler delete... Good times! Haha didn't have time to put a water meth kit on before I left so I was free balling it with no charge air cooling! It works fine but as expected isn't ideal. 32*c weather, egts didn't get above 1050*f. Cruising along at 125kmh egts are 800* at 10lbs boost. As for how the engine reacts to no charge air cooling at all... Well those of you that have poked around mcc/ efi live etc know there's a multiplyer table for iat/ main pulse... So that being said, the higher intake air temps affect the ecms calculation for main injection pulse giving the truck the same feel as when the old charge air system would become heat soaked... Except now it's all the time. Smokier, moodier, and a drop in mileage. From 9.5mpg to 8.4mpg. Basically good thing it's a temp solution!!! Haha I'm going to leave it as it is, not even bother putting water meth on the truck, cause if it hasn't blown up after those 3000km it'll survive till the end of August at which point my welder buddy and I have free schedules! Till then I'll be heading to California with the truck next set of days off and then BC the set after, really mile out the old girl!! As for what's next... Well air to air.. Gunna be sizing up a 6.4 cooler, cummins cooler, see what might fit best! Suggestions welcome! Also going to be trying out a s467.7 as my high pressure charger, only 2 reasons why, right now cruising at 125-135kmh 2k rpm (since I put the 40s on) ish I'm just under my chargers, at 10 lbs. before with the 38s I was at 21-2200 rpm and 15+lbs so kinda shot myself in the foot there but down shifting into 5th to go up hills without smoking a lot gets fairly old... Love that charger on my vp44 cummins so it'll be fun on the Ford.. Who knows I might see a bump in mileage running on more charger! [/QUOTE]
