i've noticed that a lot of guys have had problems getting the correct voltage correlation through the converter to be datalogged.
why not just use the gauge above that comes with everything and outputs 5v?

AFR gauge- Yes our stand alone digital AFR gauge for $65 does read 0-5 volt, so if you already have the LC1 it will read from the output signal and work.
EGT gauge: No, it cannot datalog. The premium series (peak/warn) can recall the highest level attained and fully programmable warning buit into the gauge but no datalogging.

so -NO- that guage does not do what you think it does in this case. They're great units, I run the premium series for a number of parameters but they don't output a voltage for logging purposes.
EDIT: I'd link you to the thread but hotlinks to that site do not work here.....for *some* reason

Here is the signal output range for the FJO box, but I won't have it running for a little while as I still have to put the motor in the car and fabricate a downpipe. I will post a pic of the box later. It is even smaller than I expected, with a length equivalent to the diameter of a can of brake cleaner.

This might be a dumb question but I've never done this before.
Are there any issues with tapping the twin's manifold for the EGT probes?
Does the risk of cracking the cast iron manifold increase b/c of the drill/tap?
Is the probe inserted into a bung or is it screwed into the manifold?
Thanks in advance.

In the burnout box...

^ I don't see there being a problem. As long as you don't overcrank the sensors into the manifold you wont be introducing any additional stress to the manifold. Stress is what causes cracking, there's some shitty welders out there that can't even understand this...

Excellent! I found next weeks purchase
The reason I'm really wanting these is that I've been road tuning my 42r on pump. I'm at 18lbs and "this baby hauls!" I try to not stay on the throttle too long as I don't have any EGT's. I have my AFR rich under these 15psi + cells dipping to 9.5-9.8 afr. I honestly think I'm nearing 500whp as 4th gear starts to get a loose feeling . After the egt's are in I'll be renting some dyno time!

"any issues with tapping the twin's manifold for the EGT probes?"
no. if the wall is thick enough it could be drilled and tapped. if not you would drill and weld a bung.
tuners... you are looking for 1550-1600 at max power and are looking for 1400-1450 from zero boost towards one bar. all preturbo of course.
glad to see Teamrip works w FJO.

Here are pics of probes drilled and tapped into the twins' manifold. (Location allows probes to be easily serviced from under the car.) FWIW, these probes are the fast-acting, exposed tip, type "K", with an iconel sheath.
These probes have been in service now for about a year and a half, approx. 15,000 miles, with no ill issues of any kind for the probe or the manifold. It is unlikely that the manifold will crack due to the location of the probes.
These probes utilize a collet bung threaded into the manifold; the probe itself slides into a collet sleeve and is clamped in the desired place by tightening a collar nut. To remove the probe, loosen the collar nut and slide the probe out.

Thanks for the input. I ran out of time and didn't tap the manifold.
Teamrip doesn't seem to sell probes any longer. I got one from here and placed it in the downpipe.

Great service from them fwiw
