EGT gauges.

[crankbender]

What gauge are you running? How much did it run you? Do you like it?
What EGTs does your car usually run?

Just wondering what kind of success yall have had with your gauges.

i have the 52mm Greddy EGT guage.. i like it alot.. it came with its own probe which does the job well.. the only thing I would have liked better woulda been the 60mm gauge with warning light.. I dont remember the exact price on the guage though..

my EGTs cruising are around 750-800 and WOT is around 850 on low boost, 900 on high boost

umm i thought 900 was extremely too high...??? thought it was the bad point where things start to melt or give away.

900 C is not a temp you want to see for extended periods of time. For short stints, like ¼ mile, it is OK, but that number should be a limit you want to see.

Personally, I have the Autometer in my 2G and the Greddy in my 1G, both 52mm. Both good gauges, although the Autometer seems a little slower in response than the Greddy. I do recommend the Greddy. May be expensive, but you get what you pay for.

900 is just where it begins to hit the red.. i know of people that have run over 1100 for extended periods and are fine.. I think 900 is good for me

I have the Apex EGT Gauge and it works for me. I hit 800C at cruzing speeds, and about 850C racing. But you may also want to take a look at the EGT and Boost Gauge in one. Im not sure how good they are, but it seems like a good deal especially if your trying to save money and dont want too many gauges in your car.

Cruising, I see around 700-720C. Running the 1/4, I top out at around 820C.
