Default 4 Cylinder EGT kits

I'm trying to track down a good egt display and datalogger for a 4 cylinder turbo engine.

The Innovate LM3 looks good but you can't monitor it without having a laptop in the car which could be awkward.

I went in a M3 at the ring that had 2 displays, 1 for EGT which allowed you to switch the monitor to either 4 probes and a wideband from the same manufacturer, he problem is that he was German and I forgot to ask who made it

Any advice would be appreciated

cpc do multimeters for £29 inc temp probe which read up to about 1300C. could use 4 of these for a temporary monitor as once the engine is set up you may not need it again

Cant you display any of the daisychained items on an XD-16 ?

If so, you could use the TC-4 and an XD-16.

failing that.....PLX Devices new fancy TFT Gauge could probably be configured to do it. Wouldnt be cheap though.

If you already have a dash logger or display of some sort. Get 4 of these

And you can use their 0-5v output for whatever you want.

Im using one with my DTA at the minute for logging EGT's

Innovate. You can have as many displays as you like, or just one. If you just have one, it can show the average, or any single channel at the push of a button, as well as alarm notifications. Display is the XD16, same one as used to display afr - it can be used to display any channel (boost,rpm,dutycycle etc). No need for a laptop.

i have a 4 channel version of the thermocouple display that also does datalogging, or without datalogging and for a good display you could use one of these

if interested, pm 'the original' as he can sell you an 'as new' used one with instructions used in his 173 mph mk2 escort
