Resumen

00:00 - Valsur Rimkarrand has asked, I'd like to talk a little bit about ignition angle and exhaust gas temperature because when the ignition angle is low, the exhaust gas temperature is seriously high.
00:10 Yeah absolutely, so if we are monitoring exhaust gas temperature, there is a very very obvious correlation between our ignition timing and our exhaust gas temperature.
00:19 As we retard the ignition timing what we're going to find is that the combustion process occurs later and later in the engine cycle.
00:27 And of course as a result of this it's happening closer to when the exhaust valves open so we tend to see the exhaust gas temperature increase.
00:35 So when we are looking at exhaust gas temperature, a lot of people do use this as a tuning guide, we do need to understand that there are a range of aspects that can affect exhaust gas temperature.
00:47 Our air/fuel ratio, our boost pressure and exactly what you've mentioned there, our ignition timing will all affect the EGT reading that we're going to get.
