EGT on track

[ouellet5]

I'm running stock engine , What's the highest point i should'nt reach ?

Last time on 1/8 miles i got a maximum of 1400, it is good ?

thanks

You're fine. Short runs aren't as harmful on parts compared to long extended pulls.

If you are watching EGT's going down the track, you need to go faster. Lol

Short runs will not hurt anything. We see over 2000 degrees regularly.

I used to see 1700+ sometimes, but only at the top of the run, a couple seconds worth.

Hell, at DPC I saw ~2100f at the end of the 1/4mi and said "meh, forged should take it" and didn't think twice about it.

haha but you're running a build engine not stock one

Saw similar temps with a 68r, 60s, and 10mm sled pulling and it lived. Pistons looked fine but bent rods.

i'm running s475 over stock, with 60's and 10mm hope it will stay alive for a moment loll

That's why you buy one that only goes to 1600F, no point in knowing if it goes past that. I've had mine burried more than a few times

So when are we going to get Zirconium oxide turbines that can withstand several thousand degrees? And our turbine housing will melt before the turbine fails

 

[gmduramax]

Has anyone ever melted something from egts?

 

[2004LB7]

I've seen a few burned exhaust valves and I think I saw a photo somewhere of some turbines with some melting/erosion from excessive heat. No first hand evidence of that last part though

 

[coker6365]

Does melted rubber in fender wells count?

I had a 1600* gauge pointing straight down once. It was glorious

Did you say "glorious" with the proper Klingon accent, Brian? :roflmao:

I had a turbine wheel start to melt on me. Didnt even notice until i got the turbo back from FI and he sent back the old turbine wheel with it.

I got a good chuckle over that. Thanks.

I have a 1600* gauge with the warning light set at 1600. Once the light comes on I count to ten or get scared and let off.
