#116495, "EGT Probes vs. Guage Choice"


          

I was currently using a Glow Shift EGT Guage and now the probe burned up. I was thinking of getting a Stewart Warner Probe because they are more accurate supposedly and better quality.

The hook up would be the same, two wires, but do you think the voltage resistance would be different and that the Glow Shift guage would not be able to read the Stewart Warner Probe correctly?

Im trying to keep the Glow Shift guages because I already have 7 of them. But I was hoping to up the quality a bit because it never seemed to read that accurate in the first place.

Elec. gurus, what do you think?

GS Guages read 200-2400 degrees
SW Guages read 200-1600 degrees

Thanks

for accuracy id stick with a good brand, Autometer, Apexi, Defi, Blitz. . .etc afterall these are your engines pretty internals were talking about emoji and a good one is very helpful in avoiding disaster if you like to tinker with your tuning emoji

but the gauge isnt nearly as important as the probe your using

i use an HKS EGT and the first thing i did was toss out the stock probe, and bought a TRE probe (std K-Type). Wicked fast response (you can see the EGT's drop during shifts) and very accurate.

they even have the SS thermocouple wire if you need more.

as long as the gauge you have is a 2 wire K-type the TRE will work
