warped manifold...too much heat?
#22
Too little advance moves the heat to the exhaust as the fuel is still burning in the manifold/turbo, that's where the higher egt #s come from with retarded timing, but too much advance makes the combustion hotter, which also raises egt's.
One of the reasons why you can't rely on egt alone to tune a motor.

Hopefully I haven't done any damage to the turbo or valves, but soon the EGT gauge will tell the story.

well the stuff is on a UPS truck on its way to San Antonio. On a lighter note, I just ran 2-sessions at the indoor karting place in OKC in business attire and set the #5 lap time on my second session, lol. Not bad for a 190lb old man competing with a bunch of children. Its also notable that I did this in a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo's, lol. Unfortunately the record is still 2.5 seconds faster than me so its going to take a miaracle to get to the top of the board...or talent, and I have neither.
