    Piston balance

    ok, i'll take them down to check them. this might sound like a stupid question but what is very very close? within 1mg? 10mg? 100mg? 1gram? I can go to my University and use the chemistry scale which can measure down to 0.001 g (1mg) or I can go to a supermarket and measure down to 0.01 lbs...

    EGT readings....

    so an ideal situation with egt probes would be to put one probe in each runner? thus u know all cylinders? or do you want an average by putting the probe in the collector?

    EGT readings....

    your probably right about A/F not effecting EGTs. but i did notice that when i was running pig rich (9:1) my egts never went above 1000 F. but when i leaned it out to 11:1 the EGTs went up. now that could be due to timing but i have no idea. all i know is that my base timing is at 10 deg...

    EGT readings....

    man seems like everyone egts are high. when i'm at cruise (75 mph) i'm at 1287 F, 14.5 AF. peak boost (17 psi)is at 1350 F peak egt, 11 AF. when cruising at 90 mph i get egts of 1300-1400 F. but could my egts be because it's tapped into number 6 runner? oh egts also very on terrane. up...

    Knock voltage (detonation not rod)

    so max is 10 degrees. what's the voltage value for that? and 5 degrees is half of max so it should be half the max voltage right? so the 88 and 89 are different, is the 88 different than the 87 (turbo)? thanks

    Knock voltage (detonation not rod)

    well the thing is, i am logging data. i get a knock voltage reading during boost. But no check engine light. the the max knock voltage was 1.9 V. Average was 0.52 V. I was thinking, if the knock sensors are giving out a voltage then shouldn't the ecu do something about it? Or is there a...
