Iam about to pick up a new autometer egt gauge for my car and was wondering how effective they are? i have a aem wideband gauge for a/f as well.

The S2000 has a problem with running lean on the #1 cyl with a boosted application so i was going to throw the egt in that cyl.

what do you guys think?

Thanks, Zach

 

I dont think it'd be a bad idea to monitor Cyl #1 especially if there's a known problem with running lean. It never hurts to be too careful

Gauges are only as effective as the person reading them. If you don't know what it is telling you, then it is useless.


That's what I think.

Agreed.

Why don't you use the tuning software that you're supposed to be running on that boosted S and increase cylinder 1 fuel trim by 3-4%?

 

Im running aem ems and it was 5% in that cyl, i want to just make sure that it doesent happen again, so this seems like a desent tool to monitor that.

 

You should run individual egts so that you can compare the other cylinder temps to that cylinder. One egt doesnt tell you much.

 

I was actually going to that but im haveing a hard time finding room for all of the gauges, so its not opstructing my view. + no to mention thats like 500 bucks in just egts.

just wire it into your AEM and display the data on your laptop

They sell switchers too so you can have 4 egt probes but only one display you can read them all individually, if you want some nice EGT stuff this company sells really good industrial digital gauges, some have data logging capabilities, they are also very reasonably priced. I have an EGT from them, the gauges can also be reprogrammed to read pretty much any sensor from boost to wideband o2, and new egt probes are only $36 instead of $100 from most companies.
