hot egt's
hey all,
i was just wondering what some of your guys egts were and some suggestions to keep them down.
my egts without a load on are 8-900 degrees but when i go up a grade and put the throttle and 3/4 throttle the egts rise like a bad out of hell. they can hit twelve hundred easy.
when i'm pulling they are so hot well i can't hardly pull. when i mash it to the floor they hit 1400 and 1500 degrees so fast like blinking fast. i'm to scared to stay on the throttle long enough but i'm sure they hit 1600 degrees easy.
i was wondering if any one knew any suggestion that won't break the bank. i was thinking about getting the 60mm inducer upgrade but that prolly won't do that much but a 100 degrees or so.
thanks
Garrett

i saw on a post a guy had i guess you could call it a boost blanket on the exhaust housing, and on the manifold... it'll drastically cut down on underhood heat and should decrease intake air temps at the same time.it'll probably cost a pretty penny; but it wont hit the bank like a turbo upgrade.

What is that gonna do to the heat of the turbine though I wonder. Seems like it would have a hard time coolin off wrapped in insulation

well; heat is energy... the more heat you keep in the exhaust the more energy is utilized. altho probably not enough is gained to notice but shielding the compressor housing from the radiant heat being produced should lower the charge temperature. i'm only speaking on theory and the assumption they gotta make it and run it for some reason
