#83702, "Anyone with a Apexi EGT or Team Rip Probe...."


          

So I cut and stripped the wires from my gauge to the gay TRE connector...RED NEGATIVE/ YELLOW POSITVE. And I don't get any reading on my gauge, it jut sits at 3. When I start it the gauge does a full sweep - is that normal. The peak/ warning function work so the gauge ain't the problem. Could it be that the probe measures in Fahrenheit and the gauge in Celsius? Should I reverse the polarity? I'm stuck. Thanks

All type K thermocouples are the same output and calibration, regardless of brand. The TRE probe just happens to react a LOT faster than a standard Greddy/Autometer/VDO thermocouple. Make sure your Apexi gauge uses a type K thermocouple. Check wiring, replace thermocouple maybe.

Cool. Apexi must use non-industry-standard wiring colors to mate up to their proprietary harness.

Here's the instruction manual for your gauge, but they deliberately leave out the wire colors for the thermocouple wire.
