EGTs
How high is too high? Hitting about 1200 on long hard accel. Cruising at 65-70 they are around 600.

1200 is fine, but it's winter. You might see higher temps then that pulling a long grade in the summer. I wouldn't want to see anything higher then 1,400 for a very short period of time. Adding an intercooler should lower your EGTs.

In my head, I just keep thinking "aluminum melts at 1221 F" as I'm driving. I don't have an EGT gauge yet, but I am running a stock engine right now. Once I finish the non-stock it will have an EGT gauge.
On an engine I didn't care much about (not a D24 - an Isuzu 1.8L) would run about where you say yours is, and never melted. Spenser |
