Gordy's random chat thread

Hold on to your panties everyone, pretty sure Amy's about to say her 2cents worth in the HJ thread!

Hahahah gotta keep an eye on that. Make sure the frilly bits don't get stuck anywhere lol

That's where I have mine Dave. I think it blocks the air flow to the intercooler. What do you think.

I'm sure it disrupts the air flow, but how much I can't honestly answer. Bit like driving lights in front of your radiator I suppose. I live out in the sticks on the edge of a state forest and farmland with heaps of roos and wallabies around, so the lights are a real plus for me,

 

[d22dave]

Here's one I prepared earlier. I have an egt gauge fitted which was there before fitting the light bar. Egts haven't changed even at highway speeds. Can't comment on the aftermarket ones like dave's, as mine is the factory yd25 one.

Looks good mate

 

[d22dave]

Good night folks, I need sleep

 

[bods]

Night dave

 

[navtruckchic]

Night dave!

 

[Navmania]

They do throw a great light that's for sure. Night mate.

hey, rather than starting a new post, can one of u guys tell me if water in ur egr pipe is a bad thing. the way i see it is water flows through it to cool the exhaust gases down. so water in the egr would mean there is a leak in the cooling part. which in turn could end up with water going into ur intake. correct me if im wrong

 

[Navmania]

That's the same light I have bods. Good for the money.

 

[bods]

Yep, that's correct. And precisely why I blocked off both ends of the egr cooler...

Yeah they're good hey. Go perfectly with hids

It could be condensation, but I wouldn't have thought you'd get condensation in there. But I blanked off both ends of mine in case that happened. If you have it blocked though you could always get rid of those 2 coolant lines and just join them together.

Yeah that's my next thing. I have a set of IPF super rally's 100/170. They draw to much current so I want to fit them with a set of dual beam HID bulbs. Should kick ass then.

 

[nuckin futs]

just trying to help a guy on another forum do his timing chain and he said he got about a cup full of coolant out of his egr pipe and that dont sound good. if it ends up going into the intake, not a good outcome

Yeah I reckon. Especially if you chuck 100w hids in them hahaha

Ah righto. No, not a good outcome. D22 or d40?

d40

 

[bods]

Ah yeah... well, if he's blocked it just tell him to get some radiator hose and join the 2 ports together and get rid of it altogether...

 

[nuckin futs]

yeh, but he dont have it blocked and he wants to drive it to work in the morning. am trying to talk him out of driving it till he atleast gets a block on the intake side

 

[bods]

Yeah, right. Fark that. Even if he bypasses the coolant side for now, until he can get a new pipe if he wants ti keep the egr...

 

[nuckin futs]

thanks for ur help man
