So is this safe? - Diesel Forum

I just ran my buddy in his G35 Coupe and ran my EGTs up to 1475* then they cooled off to about 1300* after a shift to 5th. The EGTs were at 1475* for maybe 7-8 seconds is this safe?

BTW we hit 126mph on his Speedo and my truck had just shifted into 5th. 4200 rpm redline now! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

All on a closed road course [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You have bigger tires which will give you more top end.

I think it is plenty safe. I have ran new D-Max's (with similar turbo) well over 1700* for minutes at a time, no problems yet.
