Continental Gami-Style Injectors

[JimMardis]

My Acclaim has the continental version of Gami. My #2 Cylinder runs consistently 50 to 75 degrees warmer EGT. Is it possible to call Continental and have them make an adjustment for that injector? Has anyone done this before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The actual EGT temperatures will vary between cylinders due to a myriad of factors and in themselves don't tell you much. The important thing about individual cylinder EGTs is at what fuel flow they reach their peak. Ideally all the cylinders would reach their individual peak EGT values at exactly the same fuel flow. That peak EGT value will vary for each cylinder but you want them all to reach their individual peaks as close to the same fuel flow as possible. That's what the tuned injectors do.

That is normal for my #2.  

The back cylinders will typically read higher as there will be some backflow from the forward cylinders.

If this is a new phenomenon for your engine, maybe swap probes.  My engine eats them like they're free, which of course they're not. 

As Rick said, it's how far off peak the cylinder is that matters most.

Jim, Continental doesn’t do this but more importantly we could care less about differences in EGT, but we care about 100% is that they get balanced to the point that all your cylinders peak as close as possible together in fuel flow. That’s the important thing.
But sometimes we’ll try to also make the hottest CHT the richest cylinder (rather than allow it at the leaner end) but only Gami can do this.

Continentals position tuned injectors have a fixed size for all cylinders which is used for all engines - no customization possible. That’s why Gami is in business.

The sad thing about their tuned injectors is they aren’t consistent. I’ve had engines where they were as good as gami, and others that needed gami’s. 
it would be so easy to do in a test stand. It would probably add a few hours at most to the build time, and produce a far better product. 
even if they paid gami retail it would on,y add 1k to the price. 
for 100k+++ you’d think they would make a little more of an effort.

Mine are pretty close no 2 is only a tiny tiny warmer
