Very nice. Someday, I want to go to a dyno with real det cans to see what my little knock counter is actually registering as a count....Thom wrote: Sun Apr 03, 2022 11:38 am Well, it's all work in progress. I didn't have enough time to increase boost or fine tune it. I drive with headphones on, out of a J&S Safeguard. It helps a lot. No knock so far.

Very nice.Thom wrote: Sun Apr 03, 2022 10:37 am Yesterday's progress. How many hp an injector duty cycle of 70% with 1200cc injectors should give?
The car flies. It was a good move to fit big blacks last year.
Those EGTs though…looks to be getting pretty high! Is that measured at the turbine inlet or closer to the head?
I try to stay below an absolute max of 930C measured at the inlet.

Yes I know, but that's where they have always been, also with the previous engine. The sensor is on the fitting of the cross pipe.
I'm not near the knock threshold yet so I might be able to lower them.

Yes, it's ~4.1 seconds. Wish I had kept the logs of my 8V engine to compare.Tom wrote: Sun Apr 03, 2022 11:15 am I'd be more inclined to compare 60-100mph times. Yours looks to be a little over 4 seconds, if the time bar is accurate.

I don't know, but if you can track down Laust and get him over here on Carpokes, I'd love it. I'll even buy you one of his EGT kits. If he's hung up the gloves, I'm sure we could replicate his kit with a little effort....Thom wrote: Sat May 21, 2022 9:39 am Not an update as such but it seems EGTs over read by about 100°C...!
Does Laust still make sensors? I definitely should replace mine.

Are you sure it's not your calibration and that you actually have a bad sensor....? It's not typical for a thermocouple to "go bad" by having an offset reading like that. They usually fail sort or open, reading min or max temperature. Unless you are mixing thermocouple types and connectors, i.e. using a K-type thermocouple with a J-type connector, that might cause an offset.
What are you using for an amplifier? Not familiar with Laust's kit, does his include an amplifier or just fittings and thermocouple?
