Max EGT temps on 2.5L?
Anyone know whats the max recommended EGT temps on a 2.5L with uprated internals, water injection and 440 bhp?
All pipes including down pipe has wrap so might increase temp readings.

Depends on at least the following:
Fuel
Piston clearance
Location of measurement
Exhaust valves
How long for?
Can the manifold and turbo take it?
I would suggest to stay below 950 C at the collector.

Bloody hell, confirms my map isn't good enough for setup at present. Glad I've got an EGT sensor and asked the question (900+ looked very high to me). Wont be booting her again till Bob's done his magic.
I've got front mount with auto water spray and water injection - hate think what it would of been like without that!

Ah, found an issue which might of been the cause of EGT temps...an amul valve I have fitted between the waste and solenoid was leaking boost, it was still shut when it should be but a bar + of boost would make it flutter open. Removed and now no boost leak to atmo. This made boost at peak a little on the wild side (spikes).
EGT temps better and not in the danger level...!
