EGT Temp

[icysmooth]

Just wondering-with the new Isspro gauges -what is normal egt idle temp?
At idle-mine runs @ 250-300---75 degree outside temp.
When I lay down on it-it will go to 900 degrees unloaded-is this normal?
Haven't tested with 10,000lb trailer yet

Sounds about normal. Mine idles at about 210-270 depending on how its been driven and how long I'll let it idle down. On level 3 on my Edge, if I really get on it, it'll nip at 1000 degrees unloaded, so I'd say you're good.

where are you guys running your egt probe at? mines in the manifold, and on setting 5 on my edge i ran it into 1400 degrees the other day going uphill unloaded...

I got a 97 with a Banks 3" downpipe to a 4" exhaust. Still has the cat and muffler until the new straight pipe comes in. 3 Position chip unknown brand as it came with truck and a DIY intake also. I run about 250 - 300 idle and 450 cruising around town. If I HAMMER it I can see 600 around town and doing 75 - 80 on freeway I see about 450 - 550. I towed my rock buggy and trailer a few days ago in 90 degree temps at 80 mph on freeway and was around 550 - 650. Trailer and buggy weigh in at about 6k. I did see almost 900 but that was HAMMERING it with the trailer and up a hill on an on ramp. So I would say your about right.


P.S. my EGT is JUST out of the turbo where the banks kit puts it.

Yeah,get rid of that cat,mine was 40-50% blocked,just after putting on the 4" exhaust,I could hear the engine really breath-what a difference
I called my exhaust supplier and they said sensor should always be before turbo inlet.
