What are normal egt temps under normal driving
and temps while towing 5000 pounds
It seems that the egts on my truck ( in sig ) climb very quick alot faster than i thought they would
Any answers to what makes egts rise faster or what makes them rise slower
on a basis of normal driving and towing.
I would think that an exhaust and better intake would be a start for the lower egts

 

what temps are you looking at? a little more info is needed to give you a good answer

 

600-800 is normal crusing. At idle you should see about 300-350. WOT on a hot setting you could see 1300+. Pulling 5k you should see about 700-900 crusing


Thats with 24k on...

And this is empty on my race setting with a much smaller turbo then I have now...

The bottom two gauges are EGT gauges (0-1600)

 

all them gauges look nice and compliment the super sweet cracked windshield

 

Same windsheild... two years later...





Not fixing it until it caves in...

 

windshields are over rated, bring goggles with you and a bandana so you dont fill up on bugs going from work to home

 

I had one hit my hand on the drive to work sunday... ***** stung!

 

What's the destruction temp to aviod

 

i would start to back out of it around 1200, just IMO

 

International (guys who make your motor) say 1250* sustained EGT's is fine. Not over that, but at that... I use 1250* as my "red" line. You can go over that for short periods of time when passing, racing, pulling... but only short times. 10-30 seconds to a minute... Some like to push it more then that, but I dont.
