What are your average EGT readings for your N/a?

Well I FINALLY got my egt installed and wired properly and went out for a little 6 mile cruise! I was so happy I got the thing working after what? a couple of months of just sitting there. Well I didn't really do any "runs" because my car needs suspension work so I don't want to put that much stress on her at the moment. I did a 1st 2nd and 3rd pull and that pretty much gave me readings from around 710 to 820 degrees Celcius. At idle I am getting about 520 degrees after a full warm up. So what are you all getting with your cars?


This is a Greddy 52mm egt btw.

Where are you mounting the EGT??? how far away from the manifold makes a big difference.

I'm about 6" away, under WOT in 2nd & 3rd, I see about 920C (almost hit 1000 at rotorfest, haha), typical cruise I'm about 720ish @ 75mph, idle i'm about 500.

I'm about 4-6" from the exhaust port. I had it placed close to my O2 sensor on my Racing Beat Road Race Header. The pipe is comming off of my rear rotor. I hope to get another egt on there in the future for the front rotor. I just have to find another inexpensive guage as I found this one.
