Corsa Data Acquisition System

The Corsa system also helps you tune your engine for maximum performance and reliability. Most teams start by looking at exhaust gas temperature (EGT) for each cylinder, all through the pull. You can see if the engine is running too rich or too lean, and you can see how it changes during the pull. You can also see which cylinders are running hotter than others, and balance them out with fuel or water injection changes. This improves reliability by lowering temperatures in cylinders that were too hot, and improves power by getting each cylinder to work as efficiently as possible.

Knowing turbo inlet temperature and pressure, and compressor outlet temperature and pressure, is the key to getting a turbocharger setup optimized. Depending on how complex their setup is and how much tuning they are doing, teams run anything from one pressure sensor to ten or more pressures and temperatures.
