Td42 egt

[drgtr]

It is a good thing to get egt as high as possible before max torque point. This has the turbo working at its ability. Obviously there are still safe limits to all of this.

@Hodge this is kind of what you saw with the crd. Its not really about having the lowest egts. Like engine operating temperature what you want is stability. So a quick rise to temperature but then to maintain the temperature.

Remember the 500-550 max safe temp post turbo is for short periods not a point to slow down. If the egts get to 500 but plateau there while say climbing a hill or accelerating on to the highway then that is fine.

What I noticed since advancing the timing on my td42ti.
It was retarded as so remember I dont know how EGT should be moving as slow was "normal" to me


The EGT get up to its operating point so much quicker. Its steady and then goes back down quickly too.

It hasnt gone higher but I noticed on the gauge it moves quicker.

Is this right or am I seeing things
