I am in the middle of injector tuning on my RV-10 and my neighbor is convinced that I do not have enough fuel flow on takeoff.
At sea level I am getting:
RPM 2700
MAN 27.9"
24.2 GPH

On take off with the boost pump off we had an average 20.6 PSI (24 PSI high - 18 PSI low) and an average 25.3 GPH (25.4 GPH high - 25.0 GPH low). With the boost pump on we had an average 24.8 PSI (26 PSI high - 23 PSI low) and an average 26.3 GPH (26.4 GPH high - 26.0 GPH low). We have .025 injectors.

Rob, if it's a stk IO540 with std compression, those appear to be ok numbers. But not sure how that would affect balancing the injectors. I just need to alter one nozzle,,, but it took me 2 tries.
Hey, as far as flow balancing, we need to get a list of the extra nozzle restrictors we come up with.... I've got a .028 and a .027 extra.

Are you getting full rpm, MP and hood high EGT's?
Fuel flow is secondary to these indicators.

I don't know what hood high EGTs means. Fuel flow should be such that
takeoff EGT is between 1200 and 1300 degrees. That should give you 200
degrees rich of sea level peak EGT. Anything over 1300 calls for more
fuel flow, less than 1200, less fuel flow.

I agree that you don't want your EGT"s too high on takeoff. Within 200 degrees rich of peak is the danger zone as described by Gami. I don't think I'd want to see 1300 on takeoff. I'd rather not see over 1250, I think. Rob, I don't pay that much attention to the actual fuel flow, but I know I've seen anywhere from 24-26gph (some change obviously caused by the boost pump). What is your EGT on takeoff? That MAP does seem a little bit low. What is your elevation? I usually see in the 29"+ range. If you're only making 27.9", then I would expect a lower fuel flow.

I'd like to remind y'all that talking EGT numbers really isn't relevant
between aircraft due to differences in installation of the probes.
Distance from the exhaust flange and even the
placement on the circumference of the exhaust pipe will change the
EGT value. What would be relevant is the difference from peak, and ROP
or LOP, much like the GAMI quote from Jesse.

I agree with you in general, however, full power takeoff from sea
level is a consistent benchmark. With standard conditions a rule of
thumb that is a bit rich of what is needed is 1 gph per 10 hp.
As for EGT, I use UBG-16 on my 200hp Mooney, with the probes at the
recommended 1.5" from the exhaust flange. I find that 1300 as an upper
limit, with 1250 as a target works very well, keeps my CHT in the low
300s in all but the hottest weather. I first saw those numbers
recommended by John Deakin. He has since modified that to just use
whatever your sea level EGT at takeoff power for climb...which is okay
for certified planes, but you don't have manufacturer's baseline
recommendations for OBAM aircraft. While temps will vary between
cylinders depending on probe location and orientation, if you keep the
hottest EGT below 1300 and generally closer to 1250, it will be very
safe on a normally aspirated engine which will normally peak in the
high 1400s to low 1500s. As long as the probes are within about 4" of
the exhaust flange the values will be very much in that ballpark. I
use the recommended (by GAMI) fast response EGT probes rather than EIs
standard slow response probes. They cost about $10 more each.

Concur. I flew a turbo normalized Cardinal RG using an IO360. The
recommended leaning procedures were by TIT EGT. Fuel flows in the injection
system were set higher than normally aspirated but EGTs were the leaning
byword. Since MP was limited to 28.5 showing on the gauges (even though it
was slightly higher in the system) the procedure was use 1200-1300s as a
range for takeoff and climb regardless of altitude. Target was 1400 for
cruise, although 1650 was manufacturer red line; engineering limit was
beyond that. For the 10 I use 1250 as a takeoff target about 1400 as a
cruise target. The only time EGTs go above 1420 is during the LOP process(
less than a minute). Once LOP is achieved, EGTS drop o the 1350-1400 range
and CHTs drop to the 280-320 range. Fuel flows drop to 9 gph and TAS is
150ktas.

For leaning and tuning the engine to know what size of injector is needed, the actual value isn't relevant, but rather the point at which it peaks. The numbers are still useful for the current discussion. There will be some variation based on location, age of sensor, etc., but the numbers for takeoff are still relevant.

Last flight I got the following EGT's on takeoff
1305 1322 1289 1275 1277 1284
Is it possible to slightly increase the fuel flow on a RSA injector body without having to sent it in?

I don't know what hood high EGTs means. Fuel flow should be such that
takeoff EGT is between 1200 and 1300 degrees. That should give you 200
degrees rich of sea level peak EGT. Anything over 1300 calls for more
fuel flow, less than 1200, less fuel flow.

Rob, it would be nice to see how those numbers compare to the PEAK and LOP numbers. Are the #1 and #2 cylinders still the highest? What is the order of the cylinders as they relate to reaching peak.... in gph? What were the dimensions for the temp probe install. Is it possible that #1 and/or #2 were slightly closer to the cylinder heads?

Last flight I got the following EGT's on takeoff
1305 1322 1289 1275 1277 1284
Is it possible to slightly increase the fuel flow on a RSA injector body without having to sent it in?

I don't know what hood high EGTs means. Fuel flow should be such that
takeoff EGT is between 1200 and 1300 degrees. That should give you 200
degrees rich of sea level peak EGT. Anything over 1300 calls for more
fuel flow, less than 1200, less fuel flow.

Rob
The fuel injection servo will manage the fuel flow based in what is set on the flow bench. Your egt for take off are perfect and you are getting about the right ff for take off. I agree with the 1 gph per 10 hp. This is a perfect ball park. The servo takes into consideration, mp, air density, temperature and everything else it might need. I truly do not think you have any issues.
I would also recommend that you use 1300 for climb egt lean as you climb to maintain 1300 you will keep that engine very happy for a very long time.

That conclusion looks good. In talking to Kyle at Airflow Performance, the most recent test I have done I started with .026" restrictors and am going down from there. He says that it better for lower fuel flows (under 10gph). I've done 2 engines starting with .028" and have been very happy with the results. You'll be very happy with your results after you're finished, although don't be surprised if you have to do another round. I've done 2 rounds of changes on one engine and 3 on the other that I finished testing to get to where everything was within .4 gph.

I believe your takeoff EGTs will come in line when you get the mixtures
balanced. You are close enough that I doubt you need to do anything with
the servo. In the meantime, using the boost pump until the first power
reduction may help.

Maybe the issue with #4 is it's position on the spider.... my #4 was the same way... went to a .027, and it wasn't quite small enough, so ended up with a .0265... Now all really close.
Rob, I had 25.6 gph on takeoff today.

Quote: | Rob, it would be nice to see how those numbers compare to the PEAK and LOP numbers. Are the #1 and #2 cylinders still the highest? What is the order of the cylinders as they relate to reaching peak.... in gph? What were the dimensions for the temp probe install. Is it possible that #1 and/or #2 were slightly closer to the cylinder heads?

Last flight I got the following EGT's on takeoff
1305 1322 1289 1275 1277 1284
Is it possible to slightly increase the fuel flow on a RSA injector body without having to sent it in?

I don't know what hood high EGTs means. Fuel flow should be such that
takeoff EGT is between 1200 and 1300 degrees. That should give you 200
degrees rich of sea level peak EGT. Anything over 1300 calls for more
fuel flow, less than 1200, less fuel flow.

Fuel flow is secondary to these indicators.

I am in the middle of injector tuning on my RV-10 and my neighbor is
convinced that I do not have enough fuel flow on takeoff.
At sea level I am getting:
RPM 2700
MAN 27.9"
24.2 GPH
