EGT values

[Rocco]

hello friends

this saturday i was installing a EGT sensor,bought in Germany

and i was testing it around the weekend for 200kms in the motorways.

the instrucions are in German language and i think that it is perfectly installed

firstly i thought that i had something bad because i am reading temperatures like 1200º cruising at 120km/h in 5th gear with -0.4bar bar... and 1480º 2.0bar boost 5500rpm in 5th gear....

sincerely i was VERY VERY SCARED¡¡ but after this i am thinking now that these numbers are in "english extrange temps"

i have to look in the german instruccions to see how i can change the Fº to Cº.... because my numbers are impossible in Cº ...the turbo should be broken months ago¡¡

i have to say that the EGT sensor was installed in the higher part of the downpipe,just by the turbo hotside

what do you think about 1480Fº with 2.0bar and 11.8AFR by 5500rpm ??? it is dangerous?? or are them OK ?

the exhaust manifold is the Wagner RS2 EVO ,the turbo is k24 7200 and the downpipe is 3" ....

1480ºF = 804Cº
1200Fº = 648Cº

examples....

and is it fine for it´s location and 2.0bar/ 5500rpm??

[Nuno Cristiano]

Very very good values.

[Rocco]

Very very good values.

yes?? always i heard that the best way is fitting it in the turbo hotside or in the exhaust manifold true??

i would like to share this info with the people with more experiences with EGT sensors for compare¡

and of course with all of us

i am getting something like 710C on cruise on 120km on 5th or 6th(minor difference) and at 5500rpm on 2bar on my turbo something about 870-880C. My sensor is on the EM collector so i believe the differences are pretty much ok for what you see.

You definitelly have the F instead of C plotted there and i should think that there should be a way to switch to C instead.

Out of interest Rocco... What turbo and injector are you running on that setup ?
2bar is a lot of boost and EGT and AFR sure need to be carefully monitored.

[th.b.w.]

Hy Rocco,

i have ~700-760 on cruise and 800-820 at full boost....

Pleas tell me what Lambda you have on full boost.....

RS2 k24 7200 turbo
RS2 injectors
7A FPR
Bosch 044 Motorsport FP


i have EGT and AFR measurings....

i am using the Innovate Motorsport wideband sensor + gauge,perfectly installed.
and now the EGT sensor...

AFR with WOT always is between 11.3 / 12 .....

Thomas,where do you have installed the EGT sensor??

i dont know the Lambda on full boost,but you can know it knowing my AFR values with Full boost ( 11.3 / 12 )

2 bar on RS2 turbo is too much.
There will be more power by lowering the boost level and advancing the timing.

i know it

but this is what i have....

i cant mod these software

391 cv & 644nm in a dyno... dont know if it was too optimist....

If thats the numbers you are hitting and you have little lag then I wouldn't worry so much...

glad to listen this
