scatteh316 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 What's the max temperature on this before I should starting bricking myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorbench94 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 A nitro is around 140c so I should imagine a petrol be fine at 200-220 especially a more racier engine. I've never been a temp man I go by tune if it goes like cap of a shovel and reaches is max rpm spitting a bit out its pipe it'll do me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 To be fair, that's about the most you want to be running one of those at. I know typically, tuned engines do run a bit hotter, having sai that, you yourself know the heat issues surrounding the G320's. I typically like to keep mine below 160C, even if it's a hot day, usually though it's around 120-130C at the exhaust manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 It was shut straight off when I noticed it got that high..... Just took the engine out and loads of cut grass under the engine blocking the intake so air flow must of been next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Always worth giving it a check over after every tank of fuel and clear all the grass and crap out. Maybe worth richening it up just a tiny bit as well. I wouldn't say it's over hot, but certainly on the limit of what I'd personally run it at, having run a G320 and know about the heat and seizing problems.
