A discussion on EGT and Exhaust back pressure on an OM606
A discussion on EGT and Exhaust back pressure on an OM606
It seems that these IDI engines are far more resistant to high EGT's than DI. Makes sense since the piston is practically flat so less heat gets into them. A large number of people are running hot tunes without EGT gauges and not melting anything. In fact I would say the head is at more risk. Somewheree I saw stock EGTs would reach 800*C (~1400*F) was it on the 603A or 617A. I would guess that 750*C (1350 F)sustained would be safe for a 606
