Just wanna know what sort of exhaust temps people are seeing on their FD's?



Either external measurements on the dump pipe/ turbo or actual EGT's.



Thanks

 

What does your gauge read in Celcuis or Ferh?

 

Umm, it will read both.



I don't want to permanently install a guage, but just temporarily attach a thermocouple to see what sort of temps I'm getting and purely out of curiousity compare it to someone else's readings.



So it could be either C or F.

 

my EGT is located at the base of my turbo appx. 10 inches away from the engine.



When I had water injection and shifting at 9000 rpms, by the end of 4th gear, I would be at 920 celsius. When I heat wrapped my manifold, same shifting/gear, I would see 1000+ celsius with water injection.

 

Anyone know what stock level EGT's are?



What is considered conservative or safe?



What is considered high or on the edge?

 

keep it under 900 celsius.

 

are you guys mounting your pyrometer pre or post turbo? 1000 celsius wow 1300 Ferh. on my truck is max or close to it. i'm thinking at like a 1000 celsius the wastgate would like melt off LOL who needs a heater hehe

 

I mounted mine at the base of the turbo.

 

Right there with ya on that one. Reads the most accurate.
