just put an autometer EGT gauge on my d16z6....motor is basically stock except for a zex 59300 cam....the egt gauge gets up to 1200 'F isn't this a little high? I know it is pointless to have on a stock motor but it will be turboed....just waiting to break the motor in N/A

 

bump...my motor ain't gonna melt is it

 

how close is it to your exhaust ports is your motor belching fire directly on it?

 

I have my probe about 1.5" from head in #1 and mine runs around 1250 on the freeway and as high as 1400 at wot.

i got egt on numbr 3 cilinder abowt 3 inch frum eggs-zaust port on lsvtec engin wit tubro an it get around 1400 degres under booost..

 

about 3 inches from number 3....I thought aluminum melted at 1100 'F

 

when turboed it will et to 1400 on a full throttle run. I think the melting point of cast aluminum is like 800 degrees, but with the engine coolant and oil it tends to keep its shape. You better beleive its soft as butter though. a good reason to change your air filters or actually put one on.
