MyChron 6 vs 2T Differences

Although there are only 2 differences between the 2 devices—the number of temperature inputs available and the connector pins—they can make a significant difference when it comes to which device is right for you.

For example, if you want to monitor multiple temperatures at the same time like water temperature and exhaust gas temperature, but you only have the MyChron 6, then you would only be able to monitor one at a time. However, if you opt for the MyChron 6 2T, you have the capacity to monitor multiple temperatures if needed.

Choosing The Right Model

When deciding between the MyChron 6 and the MyChron 6 2T, the main thing that you should consider is your specific data monitoring needs:

  • If you only need to track one engine temperature parameter, then the MyChron 6 is likely to meet your requirements.
  • If you need to monitor two engine temperatures simultaneously, the MyChron 6 2T is the only model you should consider.

Regardless of which device you choose, both models provide comprehensive data logging and analysis features, making them a valuable asset for kart racers aiming to optimise their performance.
