i got my egt probe today and the instructions say drill a hole in the header

any place i can stick the probe without the drilling????

 

I believe it has to be something like 12-18" from the flange at the head on pipe #3 if memory serves correctly... has to be a certain temp range, so that's where it has to go. :/ sms or hytech might have some further info for you.....

 

No

Place it about an inch after the flange in #3

 

Just gotta ask. Where did you think an EGT probe was going to go?

Damn, I was way off!

 

HAHAHAHHA LMAO!

I don't think we wanna know

 

you can just stick it in the exhaust tip if you want, of course you have to drill and then tap the hole

 

It's been off for a long time

 

dang theres absolutely no where else i can put it? cause im swapping my headers with jdm 4-1 soon, and i dont really wanna drill a hole in those headers

 

Like someone said, you CAN put it somewhere else, testpipe, cat, exhaust, etc but the #3 primary 1" or so from the flange is the best place.

 

If you're going to put it all the way down in the exhaust, then don't even bother putting it in, imo.

Actually, why do you really need an EGT guage? You're not turboed, are you?

I only own one vehicle that I want an EGT guage on, and it's got a turbo the size of my race car engine.

Because it looks cool. I wont argue your point Warren, but he wants it in, but doesn't want to put it in the header..soooo..

because it looks cool! hehe

Hell yeah, big deisel trucks and nice big turbos

 

the further away it is from the runner, the longer it will take to get up to temp, the colder it will be, and obviously the less accurate it will be. If you don't want it on the #3 runner, or in the DP flange for turbo; don't bother putting it on.
