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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
