Egt question
Just curious what everyone's egt's run.
Where is your probe located at? Egt at idle? Egt cruising unloaded? Egt loaded? Discuss....... |
At idle i'm around 300deg
Unloaded going down a strait road around 600deg, if i'm getting on it up a hill around 800 Towing, i try and keep it below 1100deg this also depends were you have your sensor. i cant remember but i think it runs colder after the turbo and hotter before the turbo. |
EGT's
On the older 24v engines the best place for the sending unit most agree on is in the middle of the exhaust manifold between cylinders 3 & 4 but with common rails most that I've read put them between 5 & 6 as this apparently is the hottest. My values are common with those previously stated. Also ambient temps will have some effect I've found. Most don't feel that post turbo is a good idea because there is a big, as in 300* difference. I'd rather know what the actual temp is right after combustion.

Im 300 when idle, 600-900 on highway, and I lift off the throttle when I hit 1200 while towing,( mostly when pulling a pass high elevation and hphot outside) that's the only time I get that hot, I put my prob right about the turbo
