Hi everyone, I have a question ive been wanting to ask for some time now. Does a turbocharged diesel have a greater tendency to produce high EGT's versus a NON turbocharged diesel. The reason I ask is because I have a 83 Ranger with the Mazda built Perkins diesel which has no turbo. It smokes lightly under normal acceleration and really puffs when you rap it up good.
I dont really worry around town or on the interstate except when I am driving into a head wind which requires some decent throttle to keep it going 65mph. I can see a very small amount of smoke coming out of the tailpipe when bucking these head winds and it makes me worry that im burning the engine up.
I know I should buy a pyro but I just wanted to hear some opionions first on this question. I see alot of old non turbo diesels where I live and just wondered if they run hotter or not. I see alot of those old 5.7 and 6.2 chevy diesels running around and they seem to just smoke continuosly.
Thanks in advance for the relpies.
