What is normal EGT FOR OM605 - artuur - 07-14-2013
Hello
what is normal egt for om605, now i have 2,7bar boost and egt is 840+
i think it should be lower, if im using water methanol then its lower but the max i did get was 920 degrees.
any ideas ?

If I were you, I'd back off your ignition point asap...
And make sure my engine is cooled good enough, and got cold(er) intake air..
If your EGT is measured post turbine, than 920 celcius is concidered by many to be the absolute highest you can go, before your engine is doomed..
Imagine if youre elements is pooly adjusted at full load, and the concequences if cyl 4 and or 5 was the ones with the highest amount of diesel, as these two gets the poorest cooling too...
The internal combustion temperatures could potentially differ by the crucial degrees of dissaster, and the rest of the cylinders are cooling the exhaust down towards 920C....
The concequences of bad temperatures does not have to hit you this day.. it might as well be tomorrow, or in a month, as the cruical temperatures dont have to brake anything momentarely, it can weaken metals over time

Over 815*C is not recommended for over 5 sec intervals.
My 605 at 1.5bar reaches about 650-700*C max at WOT.
Standard set up barely goes to 550*C.

Doesn't aluminum melt at 660°C ?
