(Exhaust gas temp and cylinder head temp). Ultralight pilots
practically fly by 'em; they're very important to monitor when
making jetting changes and you also keep an eye on 'em when
you're flying to watch for early warning signs of engine
seizure.
Seems like they might be a valuable insight on my truck
too... ? I would guess the EGT requires welding a bung
into the exhaust pipe similar to the O2 sensor, but how
about the CHT? On my ultralight, its just a little ring
that fits over the spark plug hole; you stick it on the spark
plug and then thread the plug into the cylinder. Something
like that would be a lot easier to deal with than having to
drill into the head, I would think.
What do you think? Would EGT/CHT gauges be of any use?
Jon,
Yes.
I have VDO boost/vacuum,EGT, and isolated fuel pressure gauges in my 90
Laser turbo. The lowest price for gauges is racer wholesale. I installed
the EGT sensor on the down tube I just drilled
and tapped it. EGT is great if your running more boost/NOS. CHT never
dealt with that yet.
I'm going to transfer them to my R/T after I build a center console
housing for them.
