a temprature gauge to check the exhaust temp on the header pipe without getting an egt meter or whatever that is called, i just want something that can handle temps up to 1500degrees.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Thanks Lance

 

A temperature gauge to check the exhaust temp is an EGT gauge. EGT = Exhaust Gas Temperature. Usually there is some type of probe they goes into the header. Simple ones you just drill a hole, insert the probe and it uses a pipe clamp to secure it. Other weld on a bung to the header and the probe threads into it. I don't know how you can get EGT with out a EGT gauge.

They do have Handheld Infrared Pyrometers. It looks like a timing gun, you point it at what you want to read, and it tells you the temperature of that item. I don't think it could be used to get an EGT. They are more used for tire or brake rotor temps.

I assume you are looking into EGT gauge to help tune your alcohol adventures. Would an A/F monitor work? I think most Air/Fuel Ratio monitors use a Oxygen sensor. So you would still have to install a probe into your header. I don't think most Oxygen sensors are compatible with leaded fuels, I don't know about alcohol though.

Check out Jegs for gauges

 

I did some looking and it is the egt meter that i am looking for. On the jegs site it had the probe and all that stuff for $97 but where do u get the gauge to read the temp? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] thanks lance

 

Gauges

Here are all the gauges jegs carries. You will find that AutoMeter makes a bunch of different lines of gauges, basically the difference is style.

I think the one that matches the stock tach the best is the Auto Meter Pro-Comp Gauges. If you scroll down the page you will find the EGT gauge.

 

search for pyrometer. you can buy the gauge with or without the probe. gauges and probes can be mixed and matched as long as they both are/use type K thermocouples.

 

Those are cool but damn there high. I found one at jegs for $135 so that is probably the one i am going to get. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Lance

 

I think we paid around $325 for our "Digatron" EGT.

 

Is that for the gauge AND the probe?


Would a Air/Fuel ratio monitor work? Something like Holley Air/Fuel Ratio Monitors or Edelbrock Air/Fuel Ratio Monitors

 

Pyrometer Gauge

Will this gauge work for the DS. ScoobyDFW said to go with the K- kit so will this z-series work or is this considered as a k-kit or whatever that is suppost to mean. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Lance

 

it should work.
