Back to the KISS principle, I walked out to my garage and looked at my guage lol.

It say x 100 real small at the bottom, I think that is pretty clear eh?

 

Sorry it is Niobium I think and I forgot the pic for others. An A5T rpm readings will vary from a 6MT I suppose because the computer shifts early for you in round town mode whereas a 6MT you control it not the computer. Plus I had my shift points altered.

Lots of variables.

 

100 and then an "F" or a"C"?

 

Actually do you have a pic of the guage???

 

I would assume ATI is talking about 800C (1472F). 800F is unbelievably cool for EGT....heck, I own cars that idle at 800F (around 430C) at 750 rpm's.

What ATI is saying is not bad advise either..they want things to stay on the richer side, which 800C would correspond to.

Why does it max out at that number? I have no idea...why do none of the Japanese brand ones max out at that number...they all read to arond 1200-1300C max....I think thats just the way it is. I am not saying that alone is the reason to ditch the Autometer......but again, I am biased in that regard as I am just emphatically against their EGT gauge, about as much as I am against their AFR gauge.

800C is damn hot (nearly 1500F!!)...but it is is the right temp for most street cars.

Under race gas, you can even shoot for a higher threshold, but thats for another discussion!

As for the temp on mars, I think the average is about 10 F...not very warm there

 

I think that 1600 F would not be high enough, I think my guage is 8 C x 100 which is 800C on my car with my guage.

I think this is where the confusion came in. The guage says 8 but it's times 100 = 800 but only reads 8.

You can mix and match if you like. I have an Autom Meter Boost guage and I love it, it's very accurate.

Just call ATI or GReddy and know because don't you have like 3 guages in your stock pod now? You gonna go boom too?

I thought I taught all of you about this FI Big Bang Theory haha!

 

12 sec - your Greddy gauge reads in C.....that means the "8" your gauge says is really 8x100C= 800C..your gauge reads to 1200C (12x100C), or roughly 2192 F

On pump gas, the highest I generally like to see is around 830 or so on the leanest running cylinder, almost regardless of the car we are working on (exception being a rotary, which inherently run hotter)

 

Actually I should not say I think, I know. I am looking at it. 8 x 100 so that's the end of the math. Because if it was 800 F well you can see how it works that would be way too low. But look how high my gauge goes! Room for growth not maxed out IOW.

Adam just caught your post as I posted yes I was about to say the same thing.

 

this confused me too BTW

 

Let's just do it like this ok?

See how the GReddy EGT has a redline indicator after 8 and toward 9? This is bad like redline bad.

Just buy the Greddy and stay below 8, then we all don't have to calcualte C to F or discuss the effects gamma rays have on man on the moon marigolds.

en it fun?

We could be watching football instead but my Raiders are done and dumber hahahahahahaha

 

Ditto

 

yeah, the terrotory approaching and beyond 900C is left solely to guys with race gas and standalones!

 

It was a joke, someone has suggested running the 1970's style fuel type guage.

Remember the old oil pressure guages that actually ran the oil line right up to yuor cockpit? That is where I was going with that. Now we use electrick guages, some are confused about the lines in the guages and which ones to use etc.

Like my boost line, it runs right up to the guage. What I am saying is someone reccomended a fuel guage like that lol.

I still like the AEM ultimate soltion currently being researched.

 

I still get cars coming in with a fuel pressure or oil pressure gauge running into the cockpit....I cannot help but laugh

 

I intentionally ran a Mech boost/vac. It responds much faster than elec. The fuel psi is elec jus for saftey sake. I would rather have mech on oil psi or temp if possible. Elec guages are quite a bit slower from what I have seen. Autometer anyway.

 

My eclipse idles at 850 digrees F and I tune my fuel to never pass 1550 F at any rpm or boost level. 1600 F is pushing it, but that's about where your going to be if you want to make the most power.

 

1600 f = 871 c = a little on the hot side

 

Me too, Auto Meter from Summit 55 bucks and love it! It is dead on accurate. ATI says 15 and when not under load it sets DEAD on 15! When I boost it is well..... just accuarate as he11.

I wouldn't do this with a fuel line though, oil maybe hehe. It uses the same type of tubing as the boost guage IIRC from my old school days.

P.S. I am seeing some red flags here like no cats with no guages! Risky, take it from someone like me!
