Thread: An engine is an engine

carb ice = major problem for carburated airplane engines - you will never see me with a carb on a plane i build - have never heard of a problem with ice on an injected system.

my projected temps - just guesses are

outside temp = -30 F

turbo exit temp = 300 F

temp after intercooler = 30

you are dead on on the EGT probes - one per tube, but, i will not run closed loop as if a sensor fails i cook the engine. the tweaking of the fuel will be done during testing, first on the ground and then in the air, the tables will be built and then the egt's will be for my info and not for closed loop operation. i do plan on using closed loop wide band ox sensor, but one problem, two separate exhaust pipes and one sensor and the ecu does not seem to be able to accept input for two separate banks of cylinders. whew - this stuff is complicated.
