Vtech Datalogger and EGT ...can they be connected?

[oikonomoupetros]

So, i am trying to install me AFR and EGT sensors to the vtech datalogger.
I see the connection for the Wideband sensor on the datalogger, but what about the egt sensor? Is there any way i can connect it to the logger? Is it unnecessary?
Should i keep the EGT organ on my jetski mirror ?

if your afr and timing are in the safe zone then its not going to help much
you may be able to add one sensor to the logger but I would bet no way to add three

You can add 2 sensors.... ask michel@vtech.se for correct loom. Unless you already have?

The Vtech datalogger is not already monitoring this parameter?



!! No comments about my AFR, i'm waiting for my VT1100 injectors

I have the loom which accepts one sensor.
I ll use the wideband to begin with.

EGT is good for monitoring individual combustion temps if you have it setup.

But you can see in the logger the ignition advance and retard for each cylinder, so you can see if you have un-balanced combustion for some reason.

Technically, yes. The logger does see EGT coming off of the ECU (Bosch) but the EGT that is coming from ECU is only noise. The BRP engineers left that data stream on the ECU for when they use it during pre-production testing. Don't bother looking at it, the data is dead.

OK, good to know...

Actually egt is from a real sensor in the water box.

Depends which pid you are talking about I guess. There is simulated pre cooling egt pid also.

The sensor in the waterbox is actually pre-labeled as "exhaust temp" and there is a separate label called "EGT." All due respect but EGT isn't the sensor from waterbox.

In the screenshot he posted it clearly says EGT. Look at the graph on the right and you will see the scale of the temp varies from 470C degrees to 647C degrees (or 878F to 1197F). If waterbox sensor was that high he would have a hole in the hull where the waterbox sits
