What EGT sensor are you using?

And here I thought no one paid attention to my frankenstien-ien contraptions! Like they say in the ebonic language, YOU DA MAN!

Link restored, feel free to get rid of the one in your post.

Umm, I'm not sure I remember where I ordered the EGT probes from, lemme look.....

Ah, here we go: Sensor Connection

Pretty easy to install; just grab the right size drill bit, make a hole, put the compression style fitting and clamp on, and presto! I have one in #2 primary tube as close as I could get it to the flange, and the one you see next to the wideband O2 sensor in the pic. #2 primary usually shows anywhere from 1000*F (cruise, idle), to 1350*F (boost, high load). The one after the turbo never goes above 700*F. I've been meaning to try some header wrap to try and boost temps, and hopefully decrease spool time.

Mine in my latebay, wiring loom in progress. Engine bay relay board from an old peugeot that was getting scrapped...

Is your VR sensor 90* to the trigger wheel? Have you run it that way yet? Curious how well it works.

I have not used a soldering iron in a long time but I am guessing your to solder the end when maken the plug? at 700 temp?

Yeah it is saw a couple like this when looking through other sites, made making a mount very easy, bit of metal and vice and beat with hammer (my kind of engineering

)

If it doesn't work haven't lost much, but if it does saves me a bit of messing about making a straight on mount. Will let you know....

what size motor you running ron?

miniman82 · Post by **miniman82** » Sun Jul 27, 2008 4:11 pm

Um, I'm gonna guess 2270cc, based on his SIGLINE.

huh?

Soldering irons are only like 450*F, don't know what would happen if you used 700....probably burn the board.

Solder has no place anywhere in EFI or or EGT systems. Its a failure point. Factory got rid of it about 3 decades ago for this reason.
Use proper crimp connectors with a ratecheting factory style compression crimp. Lots of conversation and info on teh subject in these forums. Ray
