Hi Folks, last time I had a ride in a Beechcraft Bonanza I noticed the
owner had installed an EGT display which continuously monitored each of
the six cylinders.
Just talking theoretically, each cylinder on a V-8 is bound to have a
different EGT, so for tuning purposes it would seem you need a computer
to record all cylinders during a run so that you
can make changes later accordingly. I gather people do that changing
nozzles for each cylinder with mechanical fuel injection, and with EFI I
suppose each cylinder can be individually managed with the computer.
Tom already told us he changes bypass jets at Bonneville during a run if
his EGT so indicates. I imagine if the EGT is high it means a lean
condition and the engine wants more fuel. As John just pointed out,
there's not time to do anything but shift gears and steer at Maxton.
Cheers from Ardun Bill
