EGT's on the pro?

[snowman80]

Does any one have egt's on their pro? I'd like to see your setup so I can get an idea of what I'm going to have to do. I'm going to be running a dynoport pipe and y-pipe and I'd like to get as much out of the sled as possible. I'm sure I'll get some flack for wanting to run egt's with "just a pipe" but I'd rather not burn down my engine and I'd like to get the best possible performance out of it and the only way I can think of doing that is to run egt's. I'd like to know what each cylinder is doing, one O2 sensor won't tell me that. I plan on using koso dual rapid reaction egt's. Any tips and tricks? This probably won't be the last performance upgrade I do to my sled so I'll need them in the future anyways. My plan is to put the egt's on my sled bone stock and do some testing for a couple hundred miles or so, that way I can get used to the numbers I'm seeing and then make my map so I see the same numbers roughly.

youll catch flack for anything around here with all the dodo birds in here

also it depends on what pipe you get too...heard cpi told someone to let 700 big block twin pipes run at a blazing hot 1400


call dyno port and ask

excellent plan...^^^...it would be real good though if you could just run the new y pipe with your stock pipe to get the familiar numbers that you would expect that way you have no varience in case your probes are abit different between the y pipes..and I always found the weldin egt fittings wayyyy superior to the clamp ones that seem to loosen

that doesn't make sense to me..i can see that they would possibly say that if wash and plugs indicate a safe burn rate and the probes are reading 1400 then in fact the 1400 is a safe base reading, but that is just probe location etc and that 1400 reading is only a reflection of a safe burn verified by the wash/plugs. A person could have the exact same set up and his reading could be 1100 and have the exact same burn with the varience just because of slightly different probe/probe placement etc of 1/4 inch..

The only problem I'm going to have with the weld on ones is that my y pipe is ceramic coated. I agree with your idea of running the new y pipe so there's no variance, probably what I'll do now that you mention it. The only other way would be if I was very meticulous with the placement of the egt's.

For ceramic coated pipe. Stick on a piece of masking tape in spot u want fitting. Trace around a dime on the tape, using Dremel or something similar carefully remove coating in area within the circle from the dime. This leaves perfect sized bare metal spot to weld on fitting
