Here is my EGT gauge.
At 65mph and 2500 rpm's it read at about 65 that normal?

This is on my s14 sr20det with 550cc inj, stock T28 and PFC.
PFC isnt tuned yet, running on base map at 7psi but it will get tuned soon so dont worry.

Ive also included a pic of what my PFC displays...

greenman100

you see that "X10C" on the gauge?

sigh.

what hell does the x10c has to do?
the question was is 600 a normal egt temp...

i dont have a egt on my sr since its mostly stock but on a friends xb 600 was normal when he wasnt under high boost if im not mistaken...

TheArkitekt

thats 1200 deg F. seems about right for me. i dont suppose you have an A/F reading?

greenman100

he edited the post.

No I dont have a wideband yet. Thats why I was asking about my EGT.
So at what point should I be worried?

ryangreg

you shouldnt, just get it tuned by a respectable pfc dood.

if he doesnt have datalogit, and tries to tune it with the handcommander get lost.

Your egt tempatures are also going to depend where you put the probe. Some people drill it into the manifold, some people have it in there downpipe...
where did you install the probe?
I have mine in my downpipe, under boost i would get to 1000 degrees. its been a while since my car has been running so i remember what my avg temps were...but 600-650 seems normal under regular driving where i had my probe.....if your concered about the tune...read up on tuning and not egt. i've read several time the pfc "pre-tune" is garbage and people have hurt there engines. Alot of people use an enthalpy write up for a base tune.
This topic has been covered alot though. Search and read

turbo2nr

mines is:
idle- 800f a/f : 14.5-15.5
crusing 60-80mph - 1000f-1200f a/f:14.8:1
boost- 1400-1600f a/f: 11.3-11.8:1

probe is on #3 runner on my exhaust manifold

My probe is on runner #1. Yes it will get tuned soon. Just waiting for new turbo and cams. Wont have the funds until next month sometime. Running on the base PFC map in the meantime. I'll see if I can find a base tune somewhere. Thanks for the input.

Or if someone knows where I can find one for a stock T28, 550cc's, Z32 Maf and stock cams???

would it change the flow if you install the probe before the turbine wheel. To me it seems like it might be better after the turbo, that way you get best exhaust gas pushing the turbine wheel. any body have any info on that ?

I learned something new today XD

If it's after the turbo the exhaust gas is cooler than when it come right out of the head. I think it's anything over 900c you can start to melt the piston.

so wait, its better to have it on the manifold than on the downpipe? i thought downpipe was better

Yellow4g63

Better reading when it's in the manifold. Could be bad too depending on how deep the prob has to go inside. I never used a Blitz unit before so I can't say. I have used the Greddy in the manifold of my old DSM never feared it breaking off and falling into my turbo.
