I just picked up a greddy egt gauge last night and was wondering where the best place is to mount the probe. I have a drag set up on my car. I read some people saying to mount it in the #1 runner and others saying #3 any help would be great. Thanks

 

#3 cylinder typically runs the hottest. Drill and tap approximately 1" from the cylider head on the manifold.

 

So should I put it in A or B? Sorry for my great photo shop skills.

 

taht would be A


i personally rujnmine right before my turbo inlet, but then again i have a VW

 

3rd runner, your picture = A

so I would get a more accuate reading from putting it in a then in B? I figured B would give me more of an overall reading since it is in the middle.

 

You are looking for the worst case scenario, you want it in the hottest cylinder. #3 typically runs the hottest. If you mount where the runners collect, you'll get an overall reading but you wont be able to see the hottest egt reading which is what you need to be concerned with.

 

On my Apexi sensor, it has about a 6 inch probe, where the hell are you supposed to fit all that ?

 

could you put it on the back side of #3 or does the whole heat rising come into play? i think it would look better outta site.

****... My Apexi gauge will be here in a day or 2 and with a prob that long wear the **** are we suposted to put it?? I know someone one here knows what to do..
HELP

 

Haha...."I think it would look better on the bottom side." Shut up. Stop worrying so much about how it looks. Geesh. Whats wrong with people. As far as a better or worse reading, its possible it might read a little cooler on the bottom side of the runner. THink of how the exaust is coming up and out of the cylinder/port. I would think the top side would be hotter due to the flow patter of the air.

 

I do not know what yhe apexi prob looks like?? I dont know how much of the probe has to be INSIDE the mani? I hope not 6" I will find out soon enuf..
I am not realy woried about how much it sticks out as long as it is accurate.
