stngllhm Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 i am curious what my exhaust temp should be running at. At light throttle just cruzzing I run between 800 to 1000 degrees. If i'm pushing it hard staying at full boost it runs around 1400 degrees. I'm just running stock boost. I'm was wondering if these temps are normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 sounds good to me I have noticed that when I am flogging it, crop circles, cruise at 5,000 rpm, the exhaust temp warms up and burns off all the accumulated oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you have your EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) probe tapped in? This would be a good post/thread for EGT comparisons. I won't be raising the boost without an EGT installed so comparing it to my baseline as well as others would be a good start. I've always wanted to know what temperature our cars run stock. Whatever I get stock, that is the temperature I try to shoot for despite any other mods I do to the car since that temperature is considered safe. BTW: What modifications do you have on your car, if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 maybe i need to install some EGT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had the turbo glowing bring red before, and I was running stock boost, stock exhaust but with gutted cats and a stright pipe from the 2nd cat back.

oddcomp Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 if you get a k-type thermo coupler and run a megasquirt it will log and eventually be able to correct fuel based on 02 and egt feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: What modifications do you have on your car, if any? The probe is about in inch behind the turbo. i know it is suppose to be before the turbo right off the engine. but right behind the turbo is a lot easier to get too. My mods are 2.5 inch exhaust, spider intake, and wrx tmic, oh and a two row radiator i also have a air fuel gauge and the car always runs on the rich side unless i'm idleing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
