I'm at 24k for motor build, but I sold 7500 in parts off it. Still under 30k for 550+ including price of car.

I haven't deducted for all the parts I've sold, SI I nay be overstating my total investment. I did get $1700 for my FXT 5 speed swap when I sold it and I have another slew of parts to sell off now.

I guess though bottom line is we have cars with exceptional performance as compared to their relative cost!

Borrowed EGT thermocouple amp from kelly to compare it with AEM system i got in place.
Will hook up 2 cylinders to AEM and other 2 to EGT systems and post some numbers!
I just want to prove to my self that AEM products are junk!

you going to monitor all 4 at the same time or just compare data?

I kinda wish I got a little better system than the PnP now, you and Kelly can log so much more fun stuff than me haha.

I think quad AFR gaugues would be nice. Maybe this is because I dont know our motors as well as I should, but it sure would have helped with the injector issue I had.

Nice work Anton!

The only problem with quad o2 is having the sensors live under the heat and compensation for backpressure.

Aem makes a kit now but it's like $600 for the 4 channel amp with 1 02 sensor. $200 for the back pressure sensor and another $300 for another 3 sensors that's like $1,100

Damn that is a lot.

I never thought about the back pressure. What kind of effects does that have on the AFR?

Damn, for $89 all I was looking for was a temp. How much slower responding is it compared to AEM?

Depending on pressure, you can be 13:1 and it'll read 10.5

So I would say a very bad effect.

Is it predictable Dom?

What I mean by this, should a user run the 4 sensors in the runners along with the one 18"+ down from the turbo like normal, would you be able to tune off the normal wide band, and monitor for per cylinder changes on the other 4?

I'm not sure but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no. The one in you DP would give you consistent results but the others would be varying based on EGBP which will not be constant based on engine load, boost, state of turbo spool, etc so you wouldn't be able to get any consisted correlation between the DP and the header mounted O2 sensors readings without knowing the pressure in the header at that instant.

It is predictable if an accurate pressure compensation is involved. Without knowing EGBP, it's not.

If you get the AEM unit, it will do the processing for you.

The real issue is the price and utility. You'll need to weld in the 4 bungs and purchase the o2 sensors, and I wouldn't expect them to last very long at high boost despite a heat sink. Once the per cylinder comps are set, I'd think that normal tuning off the regular wideband could resume. In other words, I dont think that per comps would need to be modified often unless you have crappy injectors that you'd like to monitor. The only question that I have is how long do those 02 sensors live so close to the exhaust ports, even with the heatsinks? I would think that you're primarily looking for the delta between cylinders more than using the individual sensors for closed loop feedback control. Once you can reduce the deltas, how often do you need to log?

If they don't last long, I'd probably pay half or a portion and ask a tuner to pay half so that they could keep it for other cars as that would make it more practical for dyno use. But then again, who's going to weld in 4 bungs just for a good tune?

I would weld in 4 bungs

Small price to pay to know all 4 cylinders are equally happy.

This!!

Once you see where each cylinder afr wise and make your changes, as you tune the car afr wise off the main wideband the 4 in the primaries should all remain the same.

You'd be surprised at how much power you'll pick up and how much safer it would be on the engine.

5 gas analyzer is the only real way.

O2's will not be accurate or reliable.

cylinder 2 runs hotter for some reason, and little better if i add a bit of fuel. I left cyl 2 with extra 2 units of fuel.

I need to do a VD of my car to see how she is doing. Is VD easy to setup?
