add heywood Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I've got all the usual gauges in my car. EGT, oil temp and pressure and water temp. Coming back from Suprapod I realised I didn't actually know what they should be reading. Running a big single, oil cooler, stock radiator etc what roughly should the gauges read? And when should I get worried if they go over? EGT - normal running around 4-500, motorway driving 700, giving it some up to around 850 Oil & Water temp - normal driving around 70, sat at the pod for 10 mins in the sun they went to around 85/90 Oil Pressure, idle around 3 and driving 6 (kg/cm I think it reads at) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
