EGT Temp danger zone?

[Justin]

What temp should I let off the throttle again I have forgotten?

This is with stock internals.

Was it 950C or lower?

Thanks
Justin

where's your sensor plumbed J?

where's your sensor plumbed J?

In number 2 on exhaust manifold me finks.

I'm sure I have seen CW quote upto a max of 950C but, I have my warning set at 900C

I have mine set for 850 and thats after the turbo! therefore i would say about 950 would be right!

[Terry S]

I found it was approx 200 difference pre/post turbo, so I would say Post turbo 700-750 to be safe.

glad you mentioned that Terry i am moving mine from pre turbo to post as i have read to many horror storys, i wondered what the difference was

[Sharpie]

I found it was approx 200 difference pre/post turbo.

Yep, this is what I was getting before CW moved the sensor to the pre turbo position.

[Paul]

Got mine post turbo too cause I'm a coward :)

[RobSheffield]

mine is IN the turbo :(

i have never seen above 850

[MONKEYmark]

i had 1050 degrees most.on stock jap pump.since having walbro fitted it dropped loads about 800 probe in manifold runner next to cam gears fitted by CW

[jason m]

I don't know where mine is - I see about 900c max. It was fitted at Matt H's.
Matt any ideas where it was plumbed in?

For your reference, I have reached 850 twice on my car now (since being single) the first time i had to pull over as i was smoking loads and the second time i started leaking loads of coolant! I would say terry is corect with the post turbo result!

So you have seen 850C and you are post turbo sensor location ? ..lets take the rule of thumb of 200C difference between pre and post, that would have put you at 1050C! :blink:

I have a spare engine should you need it.

My EGT sensor is mounted in the no 1 about 3/4 inch from the head. I usually get 750 on boost with the occasional 800. Warning set to 900. I did get a peak of 900 when I had my knackered stock SMIC, since fitting a Trust SMIC, things have cooled down nicely.

My EGTs dropped by approx 100c after I fitted the T61.

My sensor is in the manifold by no1.

With the single, its rare and only on the hottest days, pushing the car, that it goes above 850c.
