It should be on the 4th runner but the wastegate is placed there, which might make temps. inconsistent...so where should i tap it? thanks

 

i've always read that you should tap it on the 3rd runner

 

4th runner? It's the 3rd runner dood.

 

I tapped mine on the 3rd.



liam

 

3rd runner half the ID anway from the head

 

cool thanks. i just thought it was the 4th runner because the last injector is furthest on the rail so that should tell if you're running rich/lean.

 

ALSO...how far does the probe need to be away from the block? The auto-meter instructions suggest 4-6 inches but the 3rd runner is only like 3 inches long..where should i put it? thx

 

1-2" from head flange

 

isn't 1-2 in" from the head too close? I'm just thinking that if you want to measure the gas temp and the head up of the block/head.. you could be 3-4? Just a tought (from the jet engine testing days)....

Lastly, what is the absolute temp to not exceed at which location.... I've read somewhere that I should see 1300 +/- 50 degF?? true?

 

You don't want to hit 1,600... stay below 1500. but also be sure which side you are on. 1,500 could be too rich, or too lean

 

numero tres and you should take it off to tap it.

 

thanks for the pic, but does anyone have a pic of the actual DRAG mani?? The runners are tiny and i really don't think there is a good spot to tap it where the probe won't be at an angle...doh

i do believe that is #2, not 3, honda order goes (from the left) 4-3-2-1

True but were not looking at the firing order here simply counting from left to right, right?

 

3-4" from the head is usually the hottest location depending on timing. We Dyno test engines at my work every day and this is our experience.

Starting from the timing belt in numerical order: Cylinder one, Cylinder two, Cylinder Three, Cylinder four. The picture you posted shows the EGT Probe in cylinder two.

Honda's firing order is 1,3,4,2. Cylinder one with camshafts pointing upwards or "0" degrees, cylinder 3 90 degrees counterclockwise, cylinder 4 180 degrees, and cylinder 2 270 degrees counterclockwise.

EDIT: INCORRECT FIRING ORDER *someone playing with my head?* Honda's firing order has always been 1342 on every four cylinder I've seen.

my mani's drag gen4. there's enough space. the probe's from autometer egt gauge. mine's in 4th runner thuogh.

 

lol dudw i know. but as u can see the placement of the wg prevented me from using #3 so i had to use #2. but ya #3 is recomended. i just posted the pic cus its an up close pic of one installed.

 

sup ash?

do you think the 3rd runner has enough room to tap also? my EGT's on the way.

just curious - how come you didn't use drag the cold air extension on the air filter to locate it under the battery? that's where I put mine.

dood you got it all wrong # is the cly closest to the belts. so the distributor side is #4 and to whom ever said hondas firing order is 1234 no its 1243 look at yo dizzy...
