Just during a runup with the new probe, at
1800 rpm, we were seeing 1400 to 1500 EGT. I don't have my manuals handy for
another 5 days. What have you guys seen on your planes as a set of ballpark
figures?
Scotty,
Approximately 1500 degrees is the "ballpark" value
assuming the probes are placed in the standard location - about 4 inches from
the exhaust flange. Further away could yield cooler
temperatures. Electronic ignitions and "fine wire" plugs each can also
reduce EGT temps and, as I have both, I generally see peak EGTs of about
1400-1410. At best power below 80% I generally operate near
1290-1310.

There is an oxymoron in that, somewhere...
No, we're talking degrees F. Thanks for the input..! I wasn't
sure the new probe was giving accurate infor since there was such a difference
between new and old. The probe is located about 4 inches below the flange, too.
It seems to me that the new probe is the good one. Thank
you!
