SDL and 4x EGT alert options

Postby bazeng on Thu Nov 01, 2012 9:17 pm

Hi All,

I will.be running a 4 channel EGT amp to the SDL.
It will be used on a 4 cylinder monitoring each exhaust runner.

What can I do on the SDL to monitor any possible issues that may occur with the leaning out of one cylinder?
My thoughts are:
1. Tune the car, log the EGTs
2. Use log to determine normal egt temps and setup alarms that will trigger if any temps go above the logged values using rpm / egt temp as axis.

Is this achievable?
Are there any other options?

Are you looking for the whole engine to be out?
Or one cylinder to be different than the others?

Either.

Anything that will put the engine at risk.
Especially with this e85 injector blocking goo that i see online and on friends vehicles.

I will be linking the alarm to an output which will trigger the ecu to go into either boost cut or ignition / fuel cut.

Then you may want to compare the 4 EGTs and when one deviates higher then the rest, then that may give you insight into lower fuel flow on that injector.

Is that achievable in the software?

If the difference between all 4 signals is greater than a certain percentage, activate output x....
