I just did some data gathering. Went up a long very steep grade, about 68 degrees indicated on the bank's thermometer a couple miles away. Started in 3rd and then into 4th. First line of data at 44 MPH is at a stabilized cruise climbing base of hill, after that I punch it.
MPH / ECT / ACT
44 / 230 / 66
52 / 233 / 66
57 / 233 / 66
66 / 233 / 68
71 / 233 / 68
74 / 235 / 69
77 / 235 / 71
81 / 235 / 71
84 / 235 / 71
88 / 235 / 71
91 / 235 / 73
Damn, foregot to record where I shifted. This is at 12-13 PSI, water injection on, OEM thermostat, 1/3 antifreeze, with Water Weter, and the turbo plumbed into the cooling system.
I need to try a colder thermostat. Once the ECT passes 230, timing starts to get pulled in a pretty serious way by the computer.
