Mine seems to hit about 1600, then I let off. I thought 1500 or more is boiling point.

 

1600 is too hot. Your running too lean. Add more fuel.

 

Yeah your right. What else can I do to lower my EGT? Can I reduce the gap on my plug, or even go to a colder plug. My heat range now is 7.

 

Never hits above 800 degrees celsius.

 

mine is btween 7-800C

 

Yall are running Greddy, or Apexi? I'm running Autometer. It goes by Farenheit!

 

not only lean conditon will raise your egt but to much retard will also raise your egt

 

Really.............is that for sure?

 

ditto

 

Yeah, but what about Farenheit????????

 

Oh cmon now! stop being lazy!

How To Convert Temperatures

Fahrenheit to Celsius

1. Subtract 32 from degrees Fahrenheit
2. Multiply by 5
3. Divide by 9

Celsius to Fahrenheit
1. Multiply degrees Celcius by 9
2. Divide by 5
3. Add 32

If your fuel is anywhere close to 12:1, then 1600 is way too high. We have similar setups and I run 1200f at WOT.

If you over retard you timing you will raise your EGT. That is a pretty common tuning error when running high boost.

What did you end up putting down today?

 

mine is 700 celcius at WOT, i've never seen 800, only when boosting on 5th gear.

 

~1200 F, 5th gear will get a little hotter

Running too much retard can also give you a false reading of lean or rich because the fuel doesn't have enough time to burn inside the chamber and will finish burning off in the exhaust giving you a higher EGT while your a/f may indicate rich.

 

well then break out the chemistry books and do the math to convert, if you can put in the guage, you can do the math....... or if you're lazy, buy another guage
