Well... there you go again given an excellent reason!

I just read the Emtron ETC Manual and it would be very easy to get the data off the CAN bus.

I just need to receive and process the data at default CAN ID 0x691 (ETC4) or 0x700 (ETC8M)... or what ever it has been changed to.

Not everybody needs a standalone. I had no choice due to what I was trying to do. For someone with an +800whp car these sensors and logging would be a great middle road. For just the hardware and sensors, it cost me $16,000 for my setup. I had a custom fab mount for a 5in. Emtron display so I could see it all the time and not have to drag out my laptop unless I wanted to log or pull the logs. If your prices are reasonable, you should sell it no problem. People may not want all the sensors. You can just do bundled packages.

Since the Emtron EGTs are on the CAN bus, it shouldn't take too much time to figure out the data encoding and save the actual temperatures to the SD card.

I'll need to do some research to see what is the best option for exhaust pressure and intake air temp sensors.

Thanks for taking the time to provide input on this.

Sometimes you get lucky...
The IAT sensor's electrical characteristics (temperature & resistance) are the same as the engine coolant temp sensor.

This means I have everything needed to calculate intake air temp, and since the temp sensor on MAF bank 2 isn't used, we can use it.

I'm also going to add crankcase pressure. This will indicate the amount of cylinder ring blowby.
