turbo temperature??

Re: turbo temperature??
my turbo honda, when cruising, is around 1250°F
a complete acceleration shifting through all gears will make it 1400°F which is still acceptable.
But When I floor it for a long time in 4th gear, It can get in the 1500°F and then, I let off... Not sure if I want to see what happens if I insist any further than that! Touching the 1500° once in a while is certianly not that harmfull. I have been running the same engine at 25+ psi for over 4 years and it's still top notch.

Re: turbo temperature??
Honestly, I don't know if it's as simple as that. There are too many variables and it also depends on the engine.
The location of the egt probe is the first variable. Ideally, the probe should be half the runner diameter away from the head in the hottest cylinder. Naturally, the farther down you put it, the less it will read. I've always heard for hondas that full throttle operations shouldn't exceed 1250 and part throttle shouldn't exceed 1400-1500. The damage to components is likely cumulative. Take a look at the valves and seats of an engine that has run excessively retarded timing its whole life. The whole valve train will suffer and the springs will weaken over time. In my opinion, 1350 would be the max limit, especially for a boosted engine. Give it some timing or fuel and don't worry about the turbo, it should be able to withstand more than the engine.

Re: turbo temperature??
i shouldve better described why i posted this question, and that being i was wondering the temperature bc im trying to decide on which metal to use for flanges, mild steel which is good to 2500-2800 degrees or 304ss, both i know will work but i had no idea at all if that area got to 1000 degrees or 50000 degrees, this atleast gives me an idea....
