"gasser" EGT???

[Power Wagon]

Does anyone know how hot a gasser engine can safely get... specifically, a turbo engine?

However hot it gets PW, Amsoil will be there to cool it down.

HA! LMAO!
Get Diesel and use that slant 6 for the boat anchor it was meant to be! #ad

HAH... Unless you get to bombing, that slant six will outrun your diesel #ad

Mark,I don't have any real numbers,but would have to think it would be much the same as a diesel. Many of the metals and aluminum are the same and should melt at the same temps.

 

[Power Wagon]

There are variables, such as air flow, compression ratios, etc, that influence the temperature of the exhaust gasses in relationship to the heat of combustion.

That's why I don't know... I also know that the gasser egt's are much higher at light loads, becuase there's no unused air flowing through the engine cooling things off.

When I had my Grand National, we used to cut back fuel pressure to get better mileage.
I was told to keep it below 1500 F.

PS This was a turbo, and be sure to get a second opinion. The engine youre working with may not be as tolerant. #ad

A couple of years ago I put together a 468 ci big block chev in an early PU with a 8-71 blower and dual quads I put an EGT in each header and it could push 1250 deg. with a blower even on a gasser EGT can be a problem.

The Miata turbo guys tune for 1550-1600 degrees! I believe the RX7 gets even hotter than that.
