taping for pyro

[Agnem]

The problem with having the probe that far away, is that the temps will climb rather slowly and not respond as quickly. You can hit the melting point before you are told your getting there. Then there is the obvious heat loss, the difficulty comparing your EGT readings to others who are in the traditional location, and with it down that low, it may be getting wet when it rains. I'd wrap the pipe ahead of the probe to try and improve the readings accuracy if your not willing to move it.

Nope, but while snapping photos for another thread I grabbed this one. MUCH easier to reach and as close to the cylinders as possible. Note that I did try to drill from the side, but couldn't get enough room so this had to do. Mine is a Autometer Sport Comp II that I nabbed off ebay for $85.

Ha, probably from the same place I got mine- I have the exact same pyro.

But, when I mounted mine I drilled the passenger side manifold, and stuck the probe right into the port.

Took the guage to the adapter last night then drilled and tapped it. 3/8" NPT on a 27 thread.

I will do a write up on it for the post later.
