Howard's nnew post re: the new FJO AI Unit got me thinking about this. He'd mentioned logging EGT's while doing AI experimentation and he is correct. O2 Simulator sells an adaptor that converts the output signal of a Type K Thermocouple probe (EGT probe) to a 5V output used for any standalone input for datalogging purposes. Here's the link to their item:

Thats a great link thanks for that

I have EGT set up on a digital gauge right now but would like to log it on the PFC through the datalogit, this should do the trick !

 

does that give a rising 0-5 V or just a 5 V output at a specific temp?


We have been selling our version for quite a while, we even have a controller that works off of boost and EGT at the same time.

I am curious about the stats on that unit, because its very cheap.

man if this works it would be great! I'm logging egt's through only the rear runner of my manifold because my zeitronix only alows for one. This would alow me to log both front and rear rotor temps.

 

Julio @ Alkycontrol referred me to it. He uses I think 4 of them on his car. He says it works great.

fabulous... ought to be on every digital modded 2 rotor 2X.

nice link.

nice, is there a chart showing voltage vs temp?

going to pick up two of these so i can optionally log 3 egt channels on my LMA-3 ( only logging post turbo now)

For the very serious!

 

^ nice unit, except for the fact that it doesnt log something else to refrence buy, such as rpm and load

 

Thats the problem with my EGT gauge too.

 

Get one of these then

and a few of the k-type -> 5volt output thingys and log like crazy

 

huh, thats a pretty small package for an AD595(i assume) and actully very resonably priced compared to the normal 800% markup on most egt amps....cool

at the bottom. A two channel card is available for $60

This board was designed for car enthusiasts who wish to monitor the temperature of their exhaust gas in order to fine tune their engine’s performance. The design is based on the Analog Devices AD595 (type K) Thermocouple Amplifier and has additional circuitry to enable its use in automotive applications.
Maximum output is 5V DC at 1000 degrees C (1832 F). This board is intended to be used with a DAC device to handle temperature conversion. Requires 12 to 24VDC power. Thermocouple is not included. Two, 3 and 4-channel versions of this board are available. Add $25.00 per additional channel.

 

Would there be any way to display datalogit outputs like EGTs and oil temps on the Commander so we wouldn't need so many gauges?

as you may know the Datalogit has 4 auxiliaries... you can monitor them on your laptop as you drive. (my laptop is my passenger). the Commander has no provision for additional (auxiliary) inputs. anyone seriously interested in their tune running a Power FC really has to have a Datalogit. currently.

MSD has a reader for OBDII, that displays over 100 parameters on 11 different sceens. Maybe?

MSD has a very active forum for tech questions on their site. you generally get an answer the same day.
