Where do you guys get your egt kits? I was planning on drilling the #2 on my header to install it.

www.zeitronix.com

Or one of those aircraft ones from ebay. Theres ones for 1 probe or 4.

You can also monitor and data log AFR and Pressure

I like the zeitronix. It will prove itself to be a very helpful tool.

You can get one from Aircraft Spruce. I fly an airplane which has an EGT. The downside is that they are slow to respond. You probably want data from it under full boost. While waiting for it to peak, you will run out of road. Also drilling a hole in the stock exhaust maniford for the probe may cause a boost leak if you drill through the double walled section.

I got my sensors here http://www.exhaustgas.com/ , visited their plant and can highly recommend them. Custom shapes and cable lengths are possible.

There is only one prroper installaton on a steel tube header turbo car.
That is a weld in type k nipple.
Clamp on will leak, especially with the high backpressure #6 turbine housing - and drill and tap is no good because the steel is too thin.
On a cast manifold, it is easy - drill and tap with 5/16 and 1/8 (27) NPT. 5 minutes.
All 4 of mine on the 951 are welded on 1 inch from the head.

Also - know that modern type K's are VERY fast. EGT's are not slow anymore.
The new type K on my International diesel goes from 325 to 800 just climbing my driveway in 3rd gear. That is fast.

At least from the “Exhaust Gas Technologies” they come in two versions.
1) Fast response. Fast enough to detect a single misfire. The tip is exposed and therefore has a limited lifetime (a few years??)
2) Regular response. The tip is enclosed in the 3/16" stainless steel housing and should last the lifetime of the car. In my installation I would estimate the response time to be 50F/sec, which should be more than adequate.

What would be necessary to attach a Zeitronix probe at the test port?

No, you want it close to the head. Down at the test port its going to be cooler.

I'm running a WBO2 and 3 K-type tcouples. Turbo out, intercooler out, and one in the test port. I think it reads just fine. I get the overall idea what the EGT is doing. I range from 1400 to 1600 in moderate to full throttle boost. It's accurate enough to show me richness when I misfire (another post about that was going). It's a cheap way to place a gauge in the car and works well unless you need each port read.

I'll toss up a tech session and look up the place I got the t-couples from at some point soon. I have the receipt at home and can get you the PN's. Pack of 5 was like $80 and the stainless bungs are a few bucks each. Pretty cheap,

Hi Perry,

What do you have them connected to to get your readings?

Graham -

I'm running the 2A1 wideband logger. It has three thermocouple and three 0-5V inputs that can be logged along with WBO2 and RPM.

GPF

Hi Perry,

That looks the business - I wish the AEM could log additional inputs. I need a cheap way of interfacing thermocouple and 0-5v inputs to my laptop.
