Installed intake manifold now high egt

[ODAWG714]

Installed my intake soot manifold today, my buddy hooked me up with his rubber crush washers. Wrapped up the install and torqued the manifolds to 8ft pounds. Went for a drive and noticed higher egts and lagg.

Any ideas?

The only work done to the manifold is the elimination of the bolt casting. No work was done to the ports to the heads.

No boost leaks?

 

[ODAWG714]

Can't find any. Boosting 28 and holding on my edge cts

 

[ODAWG714]

3rd gear is holding for ever too if that makes any difference

 

[ODAWG714]

Gonna try a different type of bolt sealer tomorrow and see what happens

 

[suprdzlduty]

is your map sensor hooked up to the manifold? that will cause lag, and shifting problems.

 

[ODAWG714]

Ya it's hooked up I think it's gotta be the sealing washers not sealing

What does Soot Powered say to use for sealing washers and the value to torque the bolts to?? If it were me, I would follow their recommendations. JMO of course.

 

[ODAWG714]

By looks of the washer it's 4ft pounds before it gets destroyed
No idea what the recommendation of torque is. I got some brass crush washers I'm gonna try

 

[windrunner408]

Sounds good.

 

[PGreenSVT]

8 ft/lbs is the correct torque value. Try nylon washers or maybe copper.

 

[ODAWG714]

Well I got copper crush washers and it feels slightly better but still same issue. Also can hear air. Not good

 

[ODAWG714]

Swapped cac boot same chit.

 

[ODAWG714]

I talked to a buddy, guess I'm going to try starter fluid and see if I can find the leak.

Mitch you think any harm can be done by torqin to 12ft pounds? Rather than 8? To possibly get a better seal?

make a cap to go on the turbo that you can hook up to air and charge the system. easy way to find boost leaks.

 

[ODAWG714]

I'll do that tomorrow. Thats a excellent idea. Thanks Matt!!

:whs: I thought I had pictures on my phone of my tester. Cost me a few bucks at home depot. Basically just a piece of pvc that goes over the turbo inlet and a cap with a pressure gauge and air fitting.
