I was talking to my mechanic about rebuilding my turbo, and he told me I should get guages, and I told him that I already had the main three but not installed yet. He asked me how high my egt gauge read, and I told him 1200, and he said that may not read high enough. He races rx7's and has been for years and says he gets much higher temps. He gave me a range, but I have forgotten. Now he usually runs n/a's... Could this be a turbo/na difference, or something else? Basically, I want to know if my guage is gonna work out or not. It's the greddy electronic 52mm.

you're probbaly running pretty rich. 1300-1450F (700-800C) in the downpipe is more like it after a good pull.

the N/A's will be higher though.


edit: wait you are hitting 1200 on your greddy gauge? that's in "C" that's why why to much. you're lucky the car still runs if that's the case.


edit #2: never mind it's not even in yet 1200 was just the max reading LOL... it's in "C" so you will never max it... 800 is around max.

 

As for an NA, I'm seeming approx. 800C on my Greddy Gauge. Mind you, thats with WOT In 3rd Gear...you have a Turbo though.

*edit*Thats with many mods and an undialed S-AFC.
