The title is the question.
I know what to look for with water-cooled stuff. I have no experience with air-cooled stuff yet... What say you? Is there a normal range? A never exceed number? Anyone ever use 4 thermocouples? Was there any noticeable difference (#3 is of concern to me)? Thoughts, tips, any data would be greatly appreciated! |

For my 2316 I put in 4 TC's because I could and to monitor for a cylinder going lean for whatever reason. This engine is fuel & spark controlled with SDS so I created the map by dyno tuning so wanted to be watchful for not going lean. Wideband O2 is there of course. Here's the install, you can pick out the TC's on the headers if you squint....
 Here's the readout at idle.....  What I watched for was to not exceed 1250 at sustained WOT to avoid detonation risk but will commonly see 1350 at light throttle sustained around 3500rpm. Remember I'm on SDS and at light throttle I'm on closed loop so AFR's are around 14:1. So then the SDS is set to go off of closed loop with throttle position over about halfway open and revert to the coded in fueling map to keep AFR's quite rich at WOT. I'll attach a couple of Youtube clips where I did a brake dyno run on the highway by getting up to 3'rd (or 4th) gear about 4000 rpm and flooring it while holding the brake pedal to keep it at thata rpm & watch the AFR's. Sooo...that's my story on 4 EGT's...Oh yeah, turn up the volume!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4jyPRQaVNw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNUNWDupcWk |
