Piezo injectors require an entirely different ECU because the powerstage which controls the injectors operates entirely different. So long story short, no piezo injectors available for the KJ engine.

There is a lot of performance to be had with the engine, just needs supporting equipment to go with it. Bigger turbo so that it doesn't have to spin as fast to build boost, larger intercooler, etc...

Also, Uffe - EGT isn't dependent solely on rpm - loading raises EGT's as the engine makes more BTU as required to move the load and keep it moving - generally:

Idle - 275*F
(Idle loading increases when transmission is in any gear-range - more aggressive torque convertor (lower stall) = higher loading = necessity of add-on cooling - on the other hand, lower stall reduces operating temps because of lower slippage when not in lockup)

30mph - 350-400*F

50mph - 450-500*F

70mph Cruise - 550-650*F

70mph cruise, 5000lbs trailer with heavy wind resistance - 750-900*F, depending on head-wind and terrain - 1150-1200*F pulling that load up a hill (which is where I back off, btw)


I know RPM doesn't give any indication of EGTs :) But thanks for writing it explicitly, others might learn something here too.

Thanks for the table, I'll find myself some EGT and Boost gauges for installation soon...
