Default HOT SIDE temps........curious how high they get.....

If I use the set-up below. I'm curious how hot in *F does the pipe get right where the exhaust manifold ends and the hot side piping starts, right after the clamps on the exhaust manifold.

Thanks.

BUMP.......

Also....what size ID pipe needs to be used on a GT55 outlet port into the cold side pipes?

What size ID pipe needs to leave the exit port on an IC going to the TB?

Somewhere between 1200 and 1900. Ideally, closer to to the lower end of that range.

Are you talking about the charge air temperature just after the turbo?

Really, you need more info to do this stuff, but if you just want to ball park it...

I'm going to make a wild guess and say you run the thing at 15 psi. At that boost pressure your inlet temp should be between 250 deg F and 300 deg F.

All of this is before the intercooler.

Just match the discharge diameter of the inner diameter of the turbo outlet.
