Turbo/Exhaust Manifold red hot... - SRT Forums

Masssilversrt4 · 10-30-2003, 07:12 PM

So tonight I come home from being out and go to check my rex mounts... It was dark out and I popped my hood.. I noticed my exhaust/turbo manifold was a nice cherry red.. not deep cherry red but enough to see it in the dark....

Is this normal... I wasn't ragging on the car just normal driving with some spirited accelration..

Is this normal.. Should I be worried???

Please let me know..

David

I alwats have a bag of marshmallows for track night so we can roast them. NORMAL to me.

That glow is a by product of the thing that gives you a smile when you mash the gas pedal. Power.

normal. my dads 930 porsche glow's in the garage when he get's home. its pretty cool actually.

i've seen my turbo glow a little, when i had just gotten home after gettin on it a little.

All that talk and no suggestions! LOL!!! When you see it like that get back in the car and start it and let it cool down.

Thats the old school turbo timer. You might have been driving a little faster than you think!

I agree with deez, if its that hot, let it idle for a couple minutes.

1.

Marshmallows are a good idea.. except things get messy if one falls off your stick

Ok.. I do have a TT... Just got to get the damn Greddy out of HI/Lo mode so I can set it higher that 1min 30sec... Might have to call Hector... Can't get the damn thing out of Hi/Lo mode...

Thanks... I know this is a normal thing....
