Now this is what you call HOTTTTTTTTTTTT :SaiyanSmi

Nice photo, but its a repost.

I did do a search for

XR6 Turbo Photo
XR6T Photo
XR6 Turbo test
XR6T test

and guess what - nothing recent unless I wanted to spend hours looking though 100 posts as the serch link does not search for the exact match it searchs for each indvidual word :

Yeh, most forum "search" functions are crap.

Nice pics but.

That would be out of Street Machine Fords, and would be Nizpros XR6 Turbo engine if I remember correctly.

[pertuan]

FANTASTIC!! I LOVE photos like that.

[Reign]

Yer, thats the Nizpro engine

If the extractors are mild steel, by the looks of things I'd be guessing temperatures would be around the 1000c mark at it's hottest point.

Imagine what that would do to your bonnet paint. Wooo hoooo :

1000degC mate the extractors would be a molten mass on the floor

Old photo, but gosh darn that would have some high temps about it!

Its from the 1000hp xr6t post done ages ago

Well mild steel melts at 1300c, and begins to glow white, from a bright yellow at around 1000c, so by the looks of where the manifold meets, I'd be guessing it is somewhere around there.

I'm amazed the turbine and impellor haven't expanded hard against their housing, and the bearings siezed. HOT HOT HOT!! :nutsycuck

Sorry to burst your bubble but 1000 deg C is mild steel not moulten
Going from a long lost memory but 623 deg c is the upper critical point (looses tensile)
8-950 cherry red to yellow
950 - 1150 yellow to white
A long time before a puddle

Now all of this is academic as we have no idea as to the exact composition
The casting on the turbo is certainly not mild steel and most castings have significently more carbon or Carbon equivelent elements.

this is also before looking at coatings on the metalwork
yes even a scale buildup can change the way it transfers heat.

Finally it would be important to know the background lighting conditions, the type of photpghraphy used etc. to establish the heat of the selected components.

i have the video of that happening, awesome stuff

Mild Steel melts at 2730°F (1499°C).

Copper (which melts far quicker then steel) is resistant to 1985°F (1085°C) - so even that would resist the temp those extractors are at.

Most extractors and exhaust components are made from 409 grade stainless steel, a ferritic stainless steal, which is cheap and low-melting grade, can resist 1000°C. And then you have ceramic coating...

the motor is actually in a xr6 ute i believe so, not 100% sure, but a fella on another forum has that motor but i think he doesnt have a couple of the parts what are in the above pic

[Papa Smurf]

Love the Pic
