    Default Can the scan tool capture exhaust temp in the logs ?

    Is there any way that the scan tool could capture exhaust temp on the 6.7L in the logs, so that one could make a map of it versus fuel rate, air flow and equivalence ratio ?

    Thanks

    Yup, you'll be able the EGT probes the truck already has for post turbo temps or you could use a pre turbo thermocouple and use the connectors that come with the V2 and run it as an external sensor.

    Could you move the OEM sensor pre-turbo? If so, would there be any benefit to it?

    I talked about this with Ross.

    The problem with doing that is the length of the probe. It's longer than a normal probe that you'd see with an EGT gauge and will bottom out if you try to use it pre-turbo.

    That solves that I guess!

    You could do it if you wanted to mess with a few adapters to add some height, but for what it's worth, it's just as easy to run an external probe to the V2.

    Is there a fuel limiter map based on EGT ?

    That would be a really neat way to tune if there was !

    I'm sure there is, but it's not one that we've seen yet.

    That's not really one that you want to "tune" with persay, that's more of a safety backdown.

    There will be points that you'll hit higher temps and then they'll drop, especially if you're using larger chargers.

    It would certainly be a good limiter for a tow tune with a stock exhaust though.
