Alright, i just installed a Greddy EGT gauge. I just want to make sure it is functioning properly. It is installed in the third runner of my manifold and the lights are all working. i have it wired as follows:

Red wire-hot all the time
Orange wire- is to the ignition wire( where it is hot after turning switch on)
White wire- to the running ligts
Black wire- ground

Does all of the connections look correct. The reason i am asking is i just got my new motor back in with turbo set up and at idle it is sitting on like 300C i think that is what the gauge reads in. Does this sound normal or right? Any help would be appreciated.

sounds good to me

 

so the temp sounds right at idle

 

my greddy egt gauge doesn't register any significant temp at idle either. If you hold the revs to 3500 for a few seconds it should begin to climb a bit.

 

yes the temp sounds right at idle...racerxadam where is your egt probe? if its in the downpipe, you might not see any temps at idle...hmm.

 

thanks guys i was fixing to take out all the wiring and redo
