I know I might get flamed for this. If you use megasquirt 3 ecu you can buy a 8 channel can bus egt board. I only used 2 of the intputs for egt since I am 2 rotor but the others can be used for whatever you want. I set up oil temp,oil pressure,fuel pressure and a second wideband just in case. It will log all together with with ms3 ecu. I pick up a cheap tablet and mounted to my dash it will display all input I want. Just like a racepak display. And touch of a screen you can do instant datalogs. I will post a pic of my setup later. Individual rotor egt is monumental on the health of your engine. You know instantly when something is up.

Sounds like a cool setup.

I'm using a Microtech. I thought the MS3 could not perform split ignition.

Yes It can run split and up to 4 rotor. There is a fc in the build section running a 4 rotor setup with the ms3 ecu. This is a pic of tablet with some gauges. You can customize it in anyway you want. Display anything you want and have as many thing on the screen you want. lol

In Denmark we all run Motec M800 or M84, they can pretty much do anything you want them to, maybe except for making you a cup of coffee!

When are you going to crank it Zach?
