Just kind of curious about others EGTs...

Here's mine:

Idle: 450*C or 842*F
Cruising @ 2500 RPM: 625*C or 1157*F
Half Throttle accel.: 700*C or 1292*F
Full Throttle accel.: 800*C or 1472*F

Later

Idle: ~ 850*F
Freeway cruise, 80MPH or so: ~ 1200*F
Hard accel: ~1450*F

coincidence, i hit 1500 for the first time on teh way home today, i was in 5th doing 90 up a hill on the interstate for about 20 seconds before i noticed it and backed off. i run about the same as phrenzy under normal circumstances.

what should non turbo cars have?

My temps are the same as Darkone's. I see people posting about close to 1600 or above sometimes. I have yet to hit 1500.

It depends where you guys have your egt probes placed. I do not know where you guys have them so I cant comment on the temps. I have mine in the downpipe right after the turbo. At hard acceleration I hit about 1400 which equals roughly 1600. At idle if I let the car sit for a few minutes I am at 650 which equals about 850. at cruising speed on the highway I am at about 1200 which equals about 1400. I have talked to Bill Hahn about the egt isue and he said as long as you dont go over 1600 your OK.

I thought you guys with turbos were suppose to run hotter than my NA machine??? Those are the numbers I see 800-900 idle and 1400 1450 or so WOT. And my probe is a couple inches from the head in runner #4.

I'm right around phrenzy's numbers,but if i'm in full boost and keep on the throttle, it goes up to 850*C, i've almost gotten it to 900*C while racing on the highway, is this normal?

i swing past 1550. into the 1600's at times... i back off.. but its running too rich.. got some afterburn in the manifold.... when the intake manifold and tb get back, time to tune :-)

I need an EGT gauge :(

Waiting for that next GI bill check to come hehe....

haha don't know how hot it runs but it runs pretty cool now that it's winter and I have an intercooler hehe.

Given the same stoich ratio of air to fuel, the temperatures *should* be pretty close to the same. Yes, the turbo guys are pushing a lot more air through the engine, but they are also pushing a lot more fuel. Plus 93 octane gas helps too I would assume.

6061 and 6063 Aluminums melt at about 1700*F if I remember correctly. That's a very bad thing. :P My EGT is placed in the far drivers side runner about 1 3/4 " from the out port.
