I like it. I've hodge-podged together something similar, a friend used a lathe to cut up an old spark plug and add 1/8"NPT threads. Then I thread in a 0-150psi pressure sensor, and run that sensor to the aftermarket ECU. The ECU can record the sensor pressure fast enough to see the individual pulses at cranking speed. But I really like seeing both pressure traces at once on your setup, that's really nice.
A 2204 picoscope and rotkee pressure transducers do this and if you add amp clamp can do relative compression without removing plugs. Also add a differential pressure transducer and is best tool for any miniscule compression leakage on cooling system. Plus 100's more test you can normally do on a pico for electric diagnostic.
Great vid good to see you posting more 👍..be good to see you doing drag and drives again , i ran a s413b in rx3 sedan jatco 3 speed 9.1 @145 26x8.5 back 10 years ago miss it big time.
All the old pro rotary engine builders used this tester. It went away with Windows 8 because of the low sales volume and W8 required a major software rewrite the source decided wasn’t worth it. I bought one back around 2011 or so. What software are you using with it? .
it’s more complicated than that. Which is why other tester’s only generate peak numbers rather than the full pressure graph. Again, which software are you using with ghis tester? .
@@janousekmike Certainly the DATAQ can be adapted to operate, use other computers than just a MS-Windows OS.

That’s really cool ingenuity, what ECU did you use?

Whatever you just said sounds very smart, but I have no idea what you just said lol 😂
1:56 its a mini usb, not a micro usb

Mint green 😀

Such a great tester! I feel like this was a missed opportunity for compression test manufacturers.

@@nobodyspecial5026 I think it’s WINDQ

when you going to race again?
I’d love to go before the year is over, but realistically not til next year.
