Bill,
You do give me
relief concerning the EGT’s. I have no trouble in getting into the mid
1800 on takeoff at 6500 rpm. Will try an advance in timing to see
what happens regardless. Other than that the motor absolutely Purrs,
although idle below 1800 seems to not exist. The resistors are for the
injectors as they are the “peak and hold”. The inlet manifold is the
second attempt. Originally I had a slide throttle which refused to slide
under load, which would have been very awkward on a go around or having to “pull
power” in a panic. So I had to chuck it away and long story short, bought
a throttle body assembly from EFI Hardware (google, in Melb Aust) Only
trouble was that the centres on the throttle body and the P ports were 10mm out
of line or a little over 3/8 inch. Had to make two adapter plates with a 7
degree 2 inch hole bored in them to get the two to fit. Then the sexy
double injector rails put the top rail right where the original inlet pipes
went. Was about to put a bulge in the top cowl, until I found that I had
the room to bring the inlets in from the sides. Much adapting and polishing
later, they are in place. The PSRU plate and engine mount is from
Jeff Dodridge, and extremely well done. Everything I look at has been done
multiple times through ignorance, stupidity and necessity, but as usual there is
no other way. Neil.

Neil,
I was told a lot of
things about the Renesis that have not been my experience with it. When I first
started mine up, I had a 3 inch straight pipe on it. Don’t tell me something is
louder! Not only loud but angry! Scary sound! The Renesis is
supposed to have a couple hundred degrees lower EGT due to the side exhaust
outlets. I have only been able to get mine into the 1600s a couple of
times. They run in the 17s and 18s. I am using the stock Renesis
exhaust manifold and the probes are in the main body just in front of the inlet
from the engine, maybe 2 inches from the engine. I think this affects the
temp you get. Farther away would be much lower. I couldn’t see your probes
in the picture.
Speaking of which, what
are the resistors for? The P port intake manifold looks store bought,
where did you get it? Is that the Cozy Girrls front PSRU plate and
mount? Where and what kind of throttle body?

Only the inlet is P ported, the exhaust is stock for I was told that a stock
renesis is quieter than the 13B. The side inlets were filled with some
very expensive epoxy. My probes are sited approx 2 to 3 inches from the
face of the exhaust port. My rotary racing bloke suggests that 1700 should
be the upper limit although Tracy suggests that mid 1800 is
survivable. I believe that 25 BTDC is standard, so will try up to 30 and
see what improvement is evident I can get a substantial drop in EGT with a very
rich mix. So still reinventing the wheel.
Neil.

Neil,
Are both the intake and
exhaust P ported? How did you do it? How did you block off the side
irons? I doubt there is anything wrong with our timing or advance. I
have a stock Renesis and I get EGTs from 1725 to the middle
1800s.
How close to the engine
are your probes?

I have a P ported renesis and am seeing EGT up to 1850. Having talked with
various people with far more knowledge than myself, who suggest it may be that
the spark should be advanced up to around 30 BTDC. to reduce the EGT. Rather
than destroy the motor finding out, I am looking at getting the engine onto a
dyno to clarify the timing and EGT’s. Should be very interesting to say
the least. No one works here until the first half of Jan has passed in
this banana republic of OZ.

I've had server issues
this week and could not send this until
today.
I actually have the
RD1-C PSRU. (My Bad.) Tracy started selling these about
6-7 years ago for use with the Renesis.
The prop turns
clockwise from the pilot's seat view.
I normally see EGT's
in the high 1750 F. during full power takeoff and early climb. It will go above
1800 F. if the mixture is real close to best power. I have my EM-2 set to warn
me if the EGTs go above 1800.
