Can anyone help me change whatever needs to be changed to lower egt? It’s a 1999 series 60 BK 12.7.
I had a custom calibration done and was happy with it. I had two injectors go weak and changed them.
A month later one of the new ones dumped fuel in my oil so I changed all six, and now I’m really happy with it. Egts are good when ambient is in the 60’s it’s fine. Gets into the low 900’s, but if ambient is just a bit higher, 1000 is no problem. Current tuner seems to have ghosted me.

Make sure you don’t have a boost leak.
What rpm are you running when it heats up?
@blairandgretchen @Big Road Skateboard may be able to help with the tuning part.Oxbow and Big Road Skateboard Thank this. -
You got too much fuel and not enough air.
That's the problem with tuners. People waste money to get power, but will run a 40 year old CAC, or a cracked exhaust manifold. -

Have you changed the air filters?
Big Road Skateboard and Oxbow Thank this. -
Get away from that S400 and put a K31 on there. You'll be amazed at the difference.
But, everybody is gonna tell you the S400 is better..
One more thing, either way you go, you're gonna have way more power than that engine can make with any amount of longevity. Be prepared. -
