egt gage question
why should I need to know how hot the exhoust is?
Why/how does exhoust gas temperature affect a turbo? -Rafael |
Re:egt gage question
Your exhaust temps are important because it tells you if you are about to melt a piston or something, especially if you like to stay under boost for a long time like on the expressway or something. If the EGT goes too high, by by engine. Also, if your timing is too retarded your EGTs will go up high, so it's good to have to tune your timing. That's all I got for now.

Re:egt gage question
Lean = hot gas
rich = not as hot gas |
Re:egt gage question
How would you relate the A/F gauge to an EGT gauge (I guess in order of importance)?
I thought both could be used for tuning, but is one better to have than the other? |
Re:egt gage question
Lame narrowband AF = disco fabulous light show
EGT = useful information is that good enough :D |

Re:egt gage question
Well, in both directions, An overly advanced ignition results in overly high pressures and temperatures, an overly retarded ignition results in unfinished combustion, bad fuel economy and high exhaust temps (the burn is completed in the exhaust manifold)
Rally cars use this when they shift, to keep the turbo spooled, there it's called anti-lag and it EATS turbos. |
