UPDATE:

EGT Gauge Installed here is my number at WOT. At 11psi of boost from 0-65ish... my EGT temperature on the gauge was at a 1,100-1,200 according to the gauge. Idle, its around 700-800 degrees.

My a/f ratio is about 11.4.

How does that sound?

 

Where is the probe located?

What gear did you try the WOT full boost?

I thoguht you were running 15psi?

 

my boost is turned down because I just re-worked my exhaust again, and im experimenting with my fuel settings. While im doing this, my boost will be lowered for safety.

 

ok......

so.......

Where is the probe located?

What gear did you try the WOT full boost?

 

Gary, do you have a recomendation to put the probe???


dvanderk, what is the brand of your EGT??

 

Best spot would be at all 4 collectors on the neck part of the manifold as high as possible

 

umm no... best spot is 2 inches away from the hottest cyl, which would be cyl one


i idle at about 1k and at full boost i see 1200-1300 er so

i have a defi gauge and they are SOOO much more accurate then the autometer pos

 

^true that. i am in the market for some defi ones myself do you where i can get them cheap used or new

there 400 each here

 

wait... 400 dollars for EGT DELPHI gauge???

Why do you say that cyl # runs the hottest in our engines?

For a four cylinder with a firing order of 1-4-3-2, number 4 runner will run the hottest. This is due to the cylinder walls of #3 and #2 retaining alot of heat. The heat transmits into the cylinder wall of the #4 runner. The extra heat within the combustion chamber will create a bit more power (more efficiency), and therefore always run hotter than the other cylinders.

So the "Best" spot as such would be CYL. #4.

BUT in the collector is good spot to get a "average" reading of the heat coming from all the clyinders.

Also your full boost temps of 12-1300 or so which gear is this in?
And I assume these temps are or near redline of 7000 rpms?
