No performance monitor?

[panther1400]

How do you recommend running your engines or should I say setting your engines without more than just a single cht and a fuel flow guage in the dash (231)?

its a 40k engine i'd get a graphic engine monitor in there ASAP.

I know what is on your Xmas list....

[panther1400]

I agree a 100% but until then what is recommened?

[jetdriven]

anything that shows all 6 CHT, EGT, and fuel flow will work.  I think the JPI 730 and 830 are most popular.

What is the 930 draw back?

Look at the Insight G3.  Minimal panel footprint and ALL but fuel quantity.  Certified Primary for Cylinder Temp and Exhaust Temp...Insight will let you try for "free" for 60 days.

I just installed a JPI 830 with all the options and flew a 1000 mile trip to Florida this week. I would recommend it for it's range of data and ease of installation.  

I was able to true out at approx 155 kn at 9.3 g/h.

Oh, how did we ever survive flight without the fancy gadgets in the panel. 

Until you can get the engine montior, find a CFI that has been around the block more than a few times and has experience in Turbo's.  I learned in the early 90's how to properly lean an engine for various type of operations without a fancy engine monitor and still use those techniques today (can't explain it over the internet though).  Even after you get one installed, you'll need help to decipher the ton of information now available at your finger tips.  Over analysis can be a bad thing as well.

P.S. I just had a UBG-16 and FP-5L installed and it helps a great deal.

Do you have your 930 in now?  Also thanks for the guide lines to fly until the monitor, I am leaning toward 930 because the engine is expensive and the alarms seem like a good idea and clean up a few things in the dash because its certified.

How did you guys with the 830 mount the fuel flow transducer ?

Instead of the primary ?

Simply in line ?

Hooked the instrument to the primary sensor ?

Do others like the MVP50 better than the 930?

[Ned Gravel]

I think I prefer the MVP50 - or the AuRACLE from Flightline. They have much of the same functionality of the 930 and are all close in price, but they are smaller and lighter.  I could be convinced otherwise, of course, but I am currently leaning away from the 930.
