    Data logger with pyro drilled into each exhaust port will be the only way to even think about catching it,
    Of course 6 xtra pyro gauges would be ok then you would need a co pilot!

    Just for the record CAT have been working hard to improve their Injectors of late especially their Reman.

    The reason I say this is they now have new tips on all Reman and mostly new actuators... They still struggle to get them even but not bad in comparison to a few years back. In the past I might get to the 3rd injector in a set before I gave up on them, they were that bad!! lately I've been able to Calibrate all 6 in most sets without having to open them up.

    Still not as good as I think they should be but at least they are trying! taken many years but their system is soooooooooooooo slow to respond.

    Having said that though I still would not fit an injector straight out of the box into an engine of mine. Probably because I can test them but if I was stuck I wouldn't be as worried as I would have been 3 years ago that's for sure.

    two engines same ecm. the first engine was an a-cert with a 120 pin ecm. then converted to a single turbo with the 70 pin ecm. its not the ecm that's causing this.

    👊

    How close in temp should they be when doing this? Are they supposed to be hotter as you go from front to back? (1-6). That's what mine seem to do. Number one is about 100* cooler than number 6

    Don't worry about where your going that's over rated :) the question is what is a reliable hp to set them at, so you don't need a co pilot to monitor every temp and pressure on a good hard pull, maybe standard settings? Or wire in a data logger so as soon as it sees a temp or pressure that is out of range it de rates the engine. Then we would have a power box hmmmmm what is the solution?
