Overall road trip technical data!!!

[ChuckBlack]

Alright gents, I've gathered all of my info regarding EGT, coolant temp and engine temps on long road trips! Since I've purchased my Van. Delica Jasper 1993 low roof!

On my 1st road trip from when I purchased the Van in Vancouver in March 2015, I was driving at about 105klm/h and was averaging 800F on my EGT gauge and had my engine temp @1/2. Back then I had a leaky rad and not so sure of what else...

On my 2nd road trip back to Parksville in August 2015, I was averaging 800F on my EGT @ 105Klm/h, engine temp was normal @ 1/2. But on my trip back home I had to stop halfway through the Coquihalla hill! My engine temp was them @ 3/4, EGT was up to 1000F and I still had a leaky rad... Lost about 4L of coolant on that trip.

For the past year, I since replaced my radiator, fan clutch, thermostat and had done a full coolant back flush and replaced my conventional coolant to ELC.

On my 3rd road trip to Parksville this past two weeks August 2016, Eng temp was always @ 1/2. EGT was averaging 950F @ 120Klm/h. Coolant all good and Engine worked awesome! The way back home through the Coquihalla hill, right after the tunnel I pulled over and shifter into second gear and climbed the rest on that HILL full on @ 3000Rpm... Engine temp when below 1/2 and EGT stayed steady @ 900F... Overall it went as expected... Awesome.
I just wonder what others have experienced over the years!

Is your EGT probe pre or post turbo?
