What EGT temperatures should I be looking for at shut down. I can program my Attitude to either shut down after a predetermined time or at a particular temperature. Currently I have it at 450 degrees.

Advice?

 

I shut mine down when it drops below 300.

350 with pre-turbo probe

 

My attitude is set at 300.. pre turbo probe (the only "right way")

 

300-325*....

 

300 here, unless I'm in a hurry then it's 350.

Just like he said... You can actually raise the throttle slightly to move some air thru the system and it cools down a little quicker than just leaving it idling.

If I am in a rush I will hold RPM at 1000-1100 for several seconds until I see the temp start to drop and then let off and the temp usually drops quick after that.

 

Turning off the AC helps too. My Attitude shuts her down at 300*, post Turbo temperature.

 

10-4 on shutting the AC off. I forgot about that. I try to turn the AC off a little prior to getting to my destinations. The air usually stays cool for a short amount of time after shutting it off.

 

250*-300* works for me, and the way I drive with this $4.79 fuel its usually at 225* so no waiting needed.

Bumping the rpms for a few seconds really helps... more air and more oil

 

I usually just turn it off, and temps are around 400* pre-turbo. If I've been towing I let it cool a minute or two at an idle in neutral.

 

timer shuts it off at 300* for me.

 

I'll normally shut-down at about 300.

 

We have to worry about that???

 

ummm cool her down...or burn more of that precious gold...
