One of the most important tools in any high performance applications in a Data Logger.
just one of two examples in the diesel world
I run an EGT on every cylinder . You have a injector starting to go down. How do you know other then a loss of power. what can a bad injector do
I use RPM data loggers . I have on the Pro Stuff used RacePac. There is no other data loggers. Sure others make it , but its critical that you be able to speak with others using graphs that they recognize. Kind of like there are many languages , but if you are the only one that speaks Pigion you are kind of out of luck.
on a turbo diesel powered vehicle here is what I recommend and why.
1. Engine RPM and Drive RPM is just a given
2 EGT's on every cylinder
3 Boost
4 Drive pressure
5 fuel pressure .
6 Compressor out temp
7 IC or port temp
8 turbine speed
9 on clutch's input shaft speed
10 drag racers Accelerometers
11 Drag racing Nitrous pressure
12 on CR engines % pulse on FCA's
13 sled pulling ground speed and wheel surface speed
simple screen shots
this is a stall check on the convertor
this was trying to find rail bounce ,
RPMs and drive shaft on top
Gmeter and EGTs on the bottom
RPMS Drive
Battery voltage
G meter
Fuel pressure
