85844, EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by extreme97nt, Feb-10-05 10:25 AM How accurate would it be to mount the egt probe in the hole in the head for the EGR tube? I was going to tap and plug it but I am thinking about mounting my egt probe in there. Any thoughts? | |

85845, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by hunntyr, Feb-10-05 10:28 AM Let me know how that works for you | |

85849, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by Dirty, Feb-10-05 10:39 AM I think you need to get a meter that reads over 1600^ Let us know. After looking at the head I'm working on, I don't see why it wouldn't work. As for what readings you'll see, I don't know. | |

85848, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by extreme97nt, Feb-10-05 10:39 AM It only goes into #4. However, The rule of thumb is to place it infront of #4 because that gets the hottest for some reason. I just think it would be a cleaner install. | |

85851, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by djtrickee, Feb-10-05 10:46 AM the only thing i would wonder about is if it would get enough flow past it. since in the exhaust manifold the exhaust is carried directly over the sensor head, whereas the egr valve hole is offset out of the direct path of the exhaust. | |

85907, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by extreme97nt, Feb-12-05 06:38 AM Well I got ti mounted and 1/4 of an inch of the probe is in the exhaust flow. SO we will see how it works. If not I iwll jus tplug it up and put it in the manafold again. | |

85916, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by rhui, Feb-12-05 09:35 AM interesting... i'd think you'd read hotter cause its closer to the head... | |
|
85953, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by Dirty, Feb-13-05 11:06 AM Let us know dude. I'm finishing a head now and would like to try this if it works out for you. That way I can use my currect location for the wideband probe. | |

85965, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by extreme97nt, Feb-13-05 03:21 PM It will probably be a while I still have quite a way to go. I will post the results when it is fired up though. | |

85975, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by techboy, Feb-14-05 04:48 AM What brand of probe and guage are you using just out of curiosity? | |
|
86054, RE: EGT Probe Placement Idea Posted by extreme97nt, Feb-15-05 01:30 PM It is the one that came wiht the Autometer Cobalt gauge. | |
