I finally drilled the hole for my EGT probe so now its fully functional but Im just curious how to monitor it. what temps are considered normal for a N/A engine under normal driving? what temps are considered a lean and rich engine temp? How hot can the egt be before its unsafe to spray nitrous? thanks

 

i would like to know as well, bump bump bump

 

from what I somewhat "searched" seems like ppl are getting around 800 in the city, 1000 cruising at 75mph and around 1400-1500 WOT on a N/A motor.

anyone here have anything more to add?

 

Again this is not something someone can say "YES 800c is where you want to be at".

I pointed this out a couple times that it really matters where you put this probe. If you put it in the header, or in the Ypipe, or on a downpipe of a Turbo. All those are going to give you major different readings.

The only TRUE way to tell for yourself is to tune the car on the dyno, make one last run while it is tuned and during that run do nothing but watch the EGT gauge and see where it just sits. THAT is the reading you want to be at always then. If you add more nitrous or more boost, then you still want to stay around that area.

To me that is the ONLY way to be accurate, none other.
