Hi,

I just wandering what the benifit of fitting an EGT guage is..????

(i.e. why would you need to monitor the egt?)

Hi

By Egt you mean exhaust gas temp yes? Exhaust gas temp is effected by fuel air mixer, the leaner the mix fuel to air the hotter the exhast gases get.

As a pilot, we have them on piston engine aircraft so you can adjust the mixer as you climb higher. because the deseity of air become less the higher you go. On a car it would be a useful way monitoring engine performace and would give warning of trouble ahead.
