Tracking the EGT temperatures in my TDI300
Continue LOG:
Tracking the temperature of the EGT much more complex then the tracking I did with the turbo pressure values.
The factors that are raising the EGT temperature are:
1. Pressing the gas pedal (immediate upload)
2. Temperature environment (differences of tens of degrees in EGT) – hot or cold day.
3. Continuous load on the turbo engine (accelerator pedal on maximum for a few minutes.)
4. Of course that also the road conditions affect (going uphill, strong winds etc.)
The gauge that I’ve installed can store the maximum value reached. To date, the values Celsius, UPSTREAM (after engine, before turbo) are:
1. Most relaxed urban driving – 200-300C.
2. Traveling in non-urban areas without pressing the gas pedal down- 250-350C.
3. Traveling in non-urban areas with the gas pedal pressed down to the maximum with around 17PSI, temperaure values on 350 and up. Generally around 450- 520.
4. Observed Max Value of EGT Temperature – 580C.
