EGT temp's on VW engines

[flykr]

Anyone know what the ideal EGTs are on the VW engines?

My VW runs at 620c in the cruise, I’m thinking this may be too low for a 4 stroke.

Aerovee has max of 760 deg C so 620 sounds like a nice easy cruise. Could try leaning it a tweak to around 650 - 680 or so.

Great, thanks OFH

My cubby with 2.1lt gotech fuel injection. Max climb egt 700 deg, max cruise egt 720 deg. Richen mixture as required to maintain CHT below 200 deg C in all phases of flt.

Cheers, Trevor

750degr celsius, but best is to run it a few degrees rich of peak.

I don't have mix control so have to set things on the ground. 750c sounds a tad on the high side but I suppose those Turbo VW's run a little hotter.

PS. How is the KR1 coming along, when you going to post us some pic's?

[krjockey]

not really, I am referring to the Revmaster engine but anyhow.

Ja flykr, unfortunately it is like goose is saying. Ive been doing alot of work on the 2 but will soon start working on the one again. No photos yet though, sorry.

By the way, is the GK flying already?

[flykr]

Nope, not yet. I’m busy replacing the fuel lines and sorting out a “BIG” oil leak. Also, I need to sort out the paperwork as last ATF was in 2002….CAA want to know why not fly for so long? I’m also busy with the Bush Baby and want to get this flying first.
