I am going get a EGT gauge if it's cheap
but i am wondering how i can install it on the exhaust manifold??

i have a greddy kit sohc
please let me know

thanks

 

Drill and tap...simple as that. My VDO is pretty accurate and responsive. Plus at $125 it won't break the bank

 

just dril and tap?
would i need to use some JB weld??

and that means i need to take out the whole turbo and manifold, right?

is EGT very useful?? hehe
thanks

 

No not jbweld!

JBweld will not work on a manifold. It will burn and make some wicked toxic fumes! I found this out the hard way on a broken wastegate bolt.

[edit- you want to remove the manifold if you can, metal shavings=bad]

ok
thanks
so just drill and tap
that's it.. thanks

 

doh! i put a little around the tap to seal it. guess i have to smell some toxic fumes

 

$75!!! Ouch! should have just drilled and tapped while the engine was running. Exhaust will blow out the shavings

 

drill when the engine is RUNNING??
what about those metal shavings??
wouldn't that go INTO the turbo and messes up stuff??

 

Won't the shavings get stuck in the cat?

 

exhaust would only blows lil part of the particles... lots of that stuff would still get in the turbo... not worth the risk... dont ever do a half A$$ job with it if you want it to be reliable....

 

sounds like taking it off would be the SAFEST way...
hehehe

thanks

 

Any of you have pics of the gauge in place?

 

yea me 2, i want to see where u guys mount ur EGT gauge

i have a dual gauge pod already
and if i get one more gauge, i don't know where to mount it

 

 

what kind of manifold is that?

 

Good luck with the MF2.

 

Its a FMAX manifold.

Not using the MF2.

 

My probe is in the SAME place in that picture above... reads as accurate as all these guys having it 1" off their 3rd runner... My egt and all my gauges were installed with the turbo all together at the shop I had this all done at. RPM on queens NYC. I'd recommend them to anyone, they do amazing work.

 

how much would u guys pay for a used blitz EGT gauge? and a temp gauge?

 

how much?

 

yep drill n'tap... but drill with the engine running to blow the shavings as they come.

 

what's a vdo gauge? any links? thanx

 

sell the mf2 now an save for a stand alone!!
