Just keeping up with the flow of traffic, anywhere from 70-80mph egt' s are just over 1300 degrees farenheit sometimes 1400. my probe is about 3 inches from the exhuast housing on the DP so I can only assume that the temps are even hotter than 1400. what are you all seeing?

 

i'm seeing 750-800 degrees celsius 2 inches from the head on my b16

Which is between 1350 and 1475 degrees fahrenheit. I'd say your temperatures are good to go.

 

thats about the same as <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Boostage &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Just keeping up with the flow of traffic, anywhere from 70-80mph egt' s are just over 1300 degrees farenheit sometimes 1400. my probe is about 3 inches from the exhuast housing on the DP so I can only assume that the temps are even hotter than 1400. what are you all seeing?</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

Why does it matter? That's very low load...you aren't going to melt anything...

What is the melting point?

 

~1600*F

 

shouldnt there be concern if one person is seeing ~1400F 2" from the exhuast port and another is seeing ~1400 3" form the turbo outlet?

I would think that 3" down the downpipe temps would be a bit lower than 1400F

 

^^^ What he said, if your 1400 @ the DP then I would imagine atleast 100 deg hotter @ the head

 

mine are about 1400-1500 cruising at 80mph. the probe is about 2" from the exhaust port.

 

I'm also seeing 750c right at the manifold. I don't think 1600 is the melting point concidering I usually reach 900c or more that the track. although that's just for a few seconds then back down to whatever is normal for idle, 500c, or whatever speed I'm traveling.

And what inside of an engine is pure aluminum?

the cylinder head and pistons

 

some of you are talking about Celcius and some farenheight, so don't get confused

That doesn't mean that your head is that hot just because the gases in the exhaust are that hot.

Ever heard of an alloy?
