I assumed you understood the relationship. There is no way to determine absolute EGT from that photo other than knowing they are generally lower than TIT in a balanced system.
Turbo’d pistons are very different. Lower compression, different timing advance, higher IAT, turbo back-pressure on exhaust, etc. can all affect EGT/TIT.

It's not showing the EGT *value* on my combined page, which I'm unsure why it does that (maybe not enough real estate on a twin gauge showing both engines - I haven't dug in the settings yet), but on the L/R engine pages it shows the numbers, and my absolute high scale is set for max EGT, so on the page like I have shown above (which was right when started dialing in the GAMI's), you can see how close I am to absolute max (top red line). I assumed Rocky had his set similarly, so when I saw EGT values well above the top red bar, it made me wonder, which is why I asked. Makes sense if it's scalable (I assumed it was) and he just doesn't have it setup like I have mine set. I like to know how close I am to max, especially running LOP. Obviously in a TC aircraft, TIT rules, but I also wouldn't want to exceed max EGT either.

There is no published maximum egt i can find for continental nor lycoming engines. Many turbocharged engines have sodium filled valves or other higher temp valves to allow for hotter exhaust. TIT is the limit, not egt. Running lean of peak i have never allowed tit to exceed 1600 as i lean , if well tuned the Duke engine can be set up at 2500 rpm and 31” mp and will not run rough till about 14 gpg. Tit will fall as fuel flow falls, you are cooling with air, airspeed will begin to fall at about 19gph.

I know there's no "published" max, but on recommendation from both I/A's I've known since I was a teenager and I trust, I've been using 1,600 max EGT on my G4. I've never seen it exceed 1,500 even setting for LOP, but I'm also not forcing hot air into it after a turbocharger compressor with no intercooler. Clearly there is a max, otherwise we wouldn't see burnt valves and such, but I was just curious when I saw your gauge. On a Continental IO-520 the exhaust valve part number is the same as the TSIO-520 and also the GTSIO-520. I was wondering if you could set the Duke up for 55% power in the high teens or low 20's and get ~185 KTAS on 13GPH per side (just following the fuel curve from 75-65% power and consumption some have posted). Not that you want to go slow in a fast plane, but on long range flights, it might make the difference of a fuel stop. Duke: 220 KTAS at 44 gph with 200 gal usable = 3.5 takeoff to touchdown with IFR reserve = 770nm range give or take. Baron: 200 KTAS at 32 gph with 136 usable = 3.75 takeoff to touchdown with IFR reserve = 750nm range give or take. Clearly the Duke has a lot of pluses a C55 doesn't (roomy, FIKI, get on top of weather instead of bumping around in the middle of it like I did the entire way up to RIC for annual a couple weeks ago), but I'm wondering if you can stretch the range to 1,000nm by just powering back a bit. Taking 45 minutes longer in flight to get to the islands is faster than a fuel stop.

At 55% power you should get 195-200kts at 22,000 fuel flow of about 16 per side and about 1000 mile range with 45 minute reserve. My personal longest leg is 800 miles.

Username Protected wrote: Please be more specific when you say "Baron". On my Baron B55 32 gph is insanely fuel dumping rich. I get 187 TAS at roughly 10k at 22gph. See picture above. C55 Baron, IO-520, 8,000-9,000', 2500 RPM, max MP, ~200 KTAS, leanest cylinder 75 ROP, average cylinders 90 or so ROP, burning 16GPH per side = 32GPH. Pulled back LOP at that setting = ~187-188 KTAS, 20 deg LOP, 13gph per side = 26GPH. Verified on a couple flights so far. Trying to get a little further back but I doubt we'll get much less than 12.5 GPH at 30 deg LOP. Past 40-45 LOP and cylinders start dying, and that's on a brand new rebuild engine, not an old one (although the 1,400 hour engine does the same thing). I think Sven has only seen 11GPH per side at that kind of speed up in the low teens. Yours would be the fastest Baron I've ever heard of burning only 11GPH per side at 10k. Most people are back in the high 170's when they get that far lean, if they can do it at all that low. At least those who have posted actual pictures and 5-leg TAS / groundspeed average tracks.

Thanks, Sven, pretty cool to have that!
Wish GAMI would make injectors for the Duke. I bet it would get a whole let better fuel economy LOP.

Taking 45 minutes longer in flight to get to the islands is faster than a fuel stop.
First, many Dukes have 232 gallons usable. Mine does so the following calculations assume that.
First 50nm, climb to 17,500 and 20 minutes from line up on the runway: 20 gallons Cruise at 65% & 214kts TAS: 38gph 1 hour reserve at 45% & 182kts TAS: 28gph
So that is 1044nm @ 65% and 17,500 with a 1 hour reserve at 45%; add 2% range for every 1000’ higher and subtract about 1.1 gallon for every thousand feet of additional climb.
Long range at the same 17,500 but at 45% with a 1 hour reserve would be 1203nm and you would add the same 2% range for every 1000’ higher and subtract about 1.1 gallon for every thousand feet of additional climb.
Note: my Duke has 232 gallons of fuel and the winglets, strikes, and vg’s. I make slightly better than book speeds, perhaps because of winglets.
