I don't even think any cast iron dust went inside the turbo, but if any did it blew right out. swapped right to the 7/16" bit (tap-drill size for 1/4" NPT) and drilled it. I drilled and tapped the exhaust manifold with the engine running - I used a 5/32" bit and drilled it about 1/8" deep, then started the engine and drilled through. Tomorrow! Yesterday, I painted the mounting bracket and the gauge bezel green to match the truck. I finished installing the Turbocator gauge today, but didn't have time to drive the truck with it in yet.
#Pyro boost gauge kit update
I'll update this with pics of my installation. I had always thought it was because the truck was geared so low! It's time to monitor what is going on, as I like the power my truck has but I don't want to melt the engine's guts out.Īnyway, I just wanted to show off my cool new gauge. Pulling another truck with my towbar is a breeze.
I can pull hills in high gear, and running light I can hold 55 over almost any terrain.
I've resisted adding a pyrometer, because I felt my deuce was plenty powerful and had no intentions of turning up the fuel, but come to find out - the fuel has already been turned up! Someone in the Army must have done it, but there can be little doubt.
I like to modify my deuce as little as possible, and the few mods I do make, I like to make look as though the military did them. I paid just under $300 for the complete kit shown, including the mounting bracket (not included in the kit, you have to order it separately) and shipping. It requires no electricity except for the bulb to light it at night, and uses a standard K-type thermocouple. I searched the archives and was surprised not to find someone else who has installed an ISSPRO Turbocator, a really cool 3" combined pyrometer and boost gauge.
