interested in what a "safe" range for exhaust gas temp is?

im running internally stock rb26 and about to start tuning it on E85, i would like to know what safe EGTs are for BP98 and also E85.

when i say EGT's i mean at the dump pipe or rear housings. as getting to the rb26 manifold runners is near impossible.

cheers

No one is going to be able to give you that information as its so dependant upon location and calibration. What I would try is to start on the richer side and progressivly remove enrichment until the percentage enrichment vs percentage EGT gain starts to increase rapidly. You will most likely find that going from say 10:1 to 10.5:1 will do little compared to 12:1 to 12.5:1. I would do the same on E85.

There is no exact science as you have no real way of monitoring individual cylinders. This is where Ion sensing coils really help.

ok thanks, what are Ion sensing coils? they sound expensive.

im not really interested in individual cylinders so much i can check this and compare to the other cylinders, But im more interested in a max EGT before a turbo dies or a piston melts etc

what are a common ballpark EGT for 98 octane fuel, surely there has to be a ballpark, say 1000 degrees max

N1 turboes, stock internals with adj cam gears, 3.5 exh, tomei 600cc, walbro and power fc and cooling mods.

Currently ive tuned it to 293kw on 18psi afr aimed around 11.5WOT as the car hits the circuit a bit.

Ill be running e85 and just want to have a ball park on EGTs for when i tune it. Just thought there was a common EGT range to look out for

Well i'll put it this way. I don't think I have ever seen above 900 degrees on WOT through all gears on BP98.

BP 98 I have seen 890 degs C WOT, sensor in rear dump pipe (v spec), tuned. Mate was like OMG lolz

Yea...i asked a similar question a while back and didnt get any definite ans....

I'll be using water/meth injection though and already have a wideband installed for tuning

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
