#75679, "EGT CHECK!!! Pic.... question??"


          

Aight for all you tuners let a brother know if this is a lil high for u or not. I'm not a genius and cant convert C-->F that great. I know 900 is around like 1625 or so( i think). At what temp does pistons/engine melt. (Stock 4g63t on my GST Spyder so im not sure if its alum, or what) Also here in this pic is what i hit the other day, let me know if thats too high that i should be worried or not:


been awhile.

Holy scheidt...that'd probably fuck up a stock motor pretty hardcore! Unless something's wrong with your gauge, you shouldn't want to cross 900C. I was hitting around 905-910 at the track when i made my run, and that was almost unbearable for me. I'd richen things up a bit or work with timing some..it could be afterburn. If not, then aluminum was melting when that picture was taken emoji

yeah, if its stock like you say, then quit mounting the egt probe in your spark plug holes.....hot dayam!

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

Thats way too hot, for the probe being right off the exhaust port. I would not puch 1600 degrees at all. You say you are rich, but how do you know this? Only really good way to tell is a wideband o2, NOT the stock o2 voltage readings. YOu may be too lean. What turbo do you run, and what boost do you run? What is your exhaust setup? All these can effect EGT's. I am kind of having the same issue(not that hot though) at 15 psi on the S16G. I will hit around 1575 on a LONG 4th gear pull, and acording the the AEM wideband, i'm around a 11.0:1 A/F, which is pretty damn rich. I'm starting to lead to the thought of the exhaust is causing a flow restriction, and the motor can't breathe out the gasses quickly enough, causing high EGT's. I would first add more fuel and see what happens. If you feel a noticalbe loss in power, then I'd be looking into an exhaust upgrade. If you feel power stay the same, or increase, then you were too lean. Of course, this is best done on a dyno and logging your A/F on a wideband.

One more thing, just because your EGT's say 1600 or whatever,doesnt mean your pistons are at that temperature. You have to remember that you have heat being disipated into the head, cylinder walls, and piston skirts, oil and coolant..

20 psi on that turbo is making for a pretty hot air charge. What kind of intercooler do you run? If anything, I'd say give it a bit more fuel.

Add fuel. You still haven't answered how you know it's running rich. Don't tune to that blinky A/F guage.

if the egt probe is real close to the head in the manifold 1600* could register from the oncoming flame front from being to rich too, just something to think about. i'm not saying you're rich. but rich can make you run hot just as running lean makes you run hot

20psi with a stock pump on a 4G63 is suicide. wtf??

Walbro 255lph is the way to go. I mean , even people hard wire the walbros after they get em.

its funny that the gauge, engine, nothing else is "broken" or doing anything improper, all blame falls on the owner/driver/modifier because he doesnt know how to interpret anything

Ok, I'm not a 4g63 expert but from what I know your running crazy amount of boost with the stock poopy 2g smic on a rewired fuel pump? And from my knowledge that is almost insane.... The t-25's efficiency range ends at about 18 psi so you crankin it to 20psi isnt really doin anything except makin the turbo work harder... But yah thats why you're egt's are skyrocket. Your running that much boost on that rewired fuel pump and on that schmeelll turbo. That is your EGT problem right there...
