What is too hot in F. I only found temps in Celcius.

thanks

um...have you ever thought to convert to fahrenheit from celsius?

TempF = (1.8 x TempC ) + 32


Do it in your head, double the TempC, subtract 10% of that number and add 32.


TempC = 600

2x 600 = 1200
10% =120
1200 -120=1080
1080+32=1112

Ok then what is a safe EGT reading in C and we can convert it to F with the given formulas. Where is this reading coming from? 1" from the head 1" from the turbo exhaust outlet or inlet? How much of a temp differnce will there be from each location?

My understanding is the best place to tap for the exhaust gas temp is about 6-8 inches from the port. If there is any uncombusted fuel in the cylinder it will afterburn in the exhaust port and you will see the highest temp numbers just down stream of the port.

Thanks for the link Larry.

When I was tuning my WRX by EGT, I was tuning for around 850 C which is equiv to about 1600 F


That is what I believe is as hot as you wanna get.

Also, where is your EGT probe tapped?

If its in the third cylinder you'll be tuning for the hottest, which is what you idealy want. If its anywhere else your numbers will be lower than whats really going on.
