[bally]

cheers andrew

[Grizzly]

Have you had it mapped recently?

[bally]

no i have not she has a night sport ecu on her i always let her warm up before i drive her as well

[strange_days_uk]

I would seriously want to get a specialist to check that out before driving the car anymore, especially with a nice expensive single tub !!

Running too lean ??

[bally]

no real speciaists down this way goin 2 dragon as i said before just hope she holds up till then just hope the guys in dragon can help me

[Prof]

That must be running lean to get that hot !

What does it Rev to when you start it ?

Is this an FC or FD ? - it looks like FC by the position of the lambda sensor

[Ricco_04]

 Damn that is hot!!

I would hire a trailer and beg, borrow or steal a car with a towbar on it if you dont have one!

£30 for the trailer and could stop any damage done! :yes

(you will probably save more than that on fuel alone by not driving the rex there!)

HOLY SH1T !!!

:2eek

Let me get this clear, it\'s getting this hot at IDLE ?

[Jono FD3]

The car is an FD and that probe is for the EGT gauge I think as it has one on the dash!!

[bally]

ye that was the other day at idle just over 1000 rpm then settilling to just under 1000 after i let her run a bit at the mo im running off boost and tryin to keep revs low as a precaution  .as jono said that is a exhaust temp sensor that shows normal i will also point out that this not happen all the time that was the first time

[Red and Single]

Thats mad mate......I simply cannot believe that much heat being created at tickover !! :eek

[arrouk]

has any one ever come across this before, what could cause it? combustion in the tub and exhaust?

[Ed_RX7]

I\'ve had that before but only when i was booting the crap out of my old to4e

[bally]

ye 2 say i am a little worred is a understatement i do want to go to dragon for the work but dont really wanna risk the rex shes my pride and joy. i had steam on her 2 day from wet heat wrap i shat my self thoght i had blown sunmmit shes only done 67000km was at the point of crying has any 1 here used hyline in cardiff for there rex? i have for my liner has any 1 else used them

Poss running really rich if it runs too rich not all the fuel will get burnt and then burn in the turbo , is that right but I would have thought the turbo would need to be hot to ignite it in the first place , other thing that pops to mind what about the timing being too retarded meaning the fuel is still burning in the turbo

Could possibly be talking complete balls though
