37716, What EGTs should I expect? Posted by EclipseRST, Nov-21-02 12:05 AM
Hey guys, I'll be running a Hahn stage 1 and was wondering what kind of EGTs I should expect from the whopping 5 psi? I know it'll be higher than a stage 2 but what should I expect so I know when it's getting too hot for the engine.
Also why would EGTs increase to a dangerous level anyway? Thanks.

as long as you're at 5psi, your EGTs should be fine, probably 750-800 degrees C, i'm guessing...on stock injectors.

hmm....it should stay between 6 and 700 if it's down that far, i'd guess. I don't know, i didn't have an EGT until i was 10psi and running the 30lb'ers...mine's right on top of the mani, between cylinders 2 and 3
