201guy Posted May 9, 2022 Report Posted May 9, 2022 Engine monitors and data collection seems to be the new wave of the future. This is a new thread so how about some ideas on how to create sub categories to collect the date. Maybe create a list of problems/issues: Sticking valves burned/failing valves clogged injectors clogged air filters. failing/bad plugs. failing/bad plug wires. bad probes. high/low egt's high/low cht's induction manifold leaks timing out of spec Fuel pressure issues. fuel pressure issues. Maybe post grafts showing before and after images. I know MB is a source of data but you have to pay for some of it. Why not establish our own library/collection of data/information? Thanks, 5 Quote
carusoam Posted May 10, 2022 Report Posted May 10, 2022 Yay @201guy…! This is one of my favorite topics…. We have learned what to look for over the years from each other’s experience… Let’s see who I is first to post some Savvy data! Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
Greg Ellis Posted May 10, 2022 Report Posted May 10, 2022 This is awesome. As someone who has an engine monitor but is woefully inept in interpreting data from it, I think this forum will be extremely helpful. Posting data, along with what the final problem was as mentioned earlier, would be very helpful in trying to learn how to properly interpret data. @kortopates has been very helpful, through Savvy Aviation, with me learning about my engine monitor and trying to interpret the data and I think this forum will be an excellent resource. Thank you to all that had a hand in starting this forum. 1 1 Quote
Marc_B Posted May 11, 2022 Report Posted May 11, 2022 I just signed up with SavvyAnalysisPro to help distill some knowledge from the 1s & 0s in my monitor. I'm also working with Paul @kortopates. (Thanks for the help!) Figured this would be a great way to see what information can be pulled from the monitor and see how to leverage it for baseline or troubleshooting. I was kinda surprised at what all you can pull from the engine monitor and how Savvy was looking at it: max MAP, max RPM, max FF, EGTs, CHTs, TITs; but also some things I wasn't thinking about like voltage, oil pressures, etc. How do you know if you're getting full power...well it's probably in there. How do you know if your ignition system is humming...in there too. I'm interested to see examples of what to look for and tell-tale signs that you need to look further or address something. Also would be hugely educational to see the troubleshooting process looking at plugs vs wires vs mags...alternator vs voltage regulator vs battery... curious how you dissect some of these things electronically...

Oscar Avalle Posted May 12, 2022 Report Posted May 12, 2022 Ok somebody has to go first. I am going to upload some of my engine data from now and from three years ago. Here they go Report Card N9341V (1).pdf Trend Analysis Report N9341V.pdf 2017-02-01 Oscar Avalle N9341V.pdf Quote
