[urq] How much heat is generated by our engines...just a roughis good...

[SpotatAshleys]

I can't tell you specifics (i.e. degrees etc) but I wrapped my down pipe in
thermal bandage and did away with the auxillary rad. Runs cooler than my
friends similar WR (which has no wrap and still uses aux rad)which I put
down to the wrap and increased airflow past turbo & manifold etc. The
injector cooling fan never comes on (I check it occasionally to make sure it
really works - it does).
Hope this helps

Keith
'87 WR (1 bar boost)

EGTs under boost should float around 1250F.  If you're running a screamer,
you could hit 1450F.  15psi in a WX, however, and I'd count on the lower
figure being more representative.
