Actually, we have a JPI FuelScan 450, already (although I imagine JPI has upgraded their fuel-flow sender, in the intervening years. The sender will need replacing with the new one, but, at least, I imagine the splices to the fuel line and a method of keeping the sender secure have already been worked out). Yeah, we also have a GPS, and all partners are either engineers and/or have worked on cars a good amount. We're tossing around the idea of doing it ourselves.

True... and, if they were all different probes, I could accept more than 1 hr per probe. But, in reality, we're installing 6 identical CHT's and 6 identical EGT's. I'm thinking 6 EGT's could be installed in much fewer than 6 hours. I'm also thinking along the lines of gsxrpilot: in regards to paying to teach the mechanic. Seems to me that someone who has installed one of these before isn't going to be scratching their head going "Hmmm... where do I want to drill the hole for this probe?". Additionally, although I've never witnessed an install of one of these, I'd imagine that JPI makes some of their probes to fit where the stock ones did, so some sensors could be as easy as a bolt-off/on, no?

Greetings, Mooners! I tried searching the forums for some clues about this, but no luck, so I'm posting. My partners and I are looking into getting an engine analyzer for our M20K (231), and we asked a nearby shop for a quote for a JPI 830, and they came back with over $14k... $3+k for the actual unit and over $10k for labor. We're having a little trouble accepting that kind of a labor cost. What are some costs y'all have incurred to install an engine monitor on the level of a JPI 830 or 900?
