EGT Probe mounting/placement Greddy Turbo Kit
I have a HKS EGT on the way and was thinking of where i can mount the probe. Looking for any greddy turbo kit owners that have aftermarket egt probes. where did you mount it? i was thinking of using my racing beat air pump delete block off plate (drill and tap the plate) but not sure if that area is too far? Im hoping this mounting location would be acceptable.
Any input would be appreciated.
thanks
Greg

if you put it downstream of the turbo, make it as lost to the turbo as possible. its not really about how accurate the readings are its more about changes in the reading

Been researching this a bit and seems like having it on the manifold close to the exhaust port is the ideal way to go in terms of 'accurate' (whatever that means). Particularly for the rear exhaust port since the rear housing runs hotter.
Though in most cases of usefulness, it is there to monitor changes like WingleBeast stated.

you can put it forward of the turbo to monitor the hot rotor, but remember that everything will melt or at least have a shortened lifespan in high enough heat. i melted my first fitting putting it too close, not much room up there once the turbo is in too, so i moved it downstream. works fine just had readings 200 degrees cooler.
put it in before you turbo, get a good idea of 'normal' readings. it will make your life easier trying to see trouble

thanks for the info..do you have any pictures of the sensor mounted (want to see the angle) and can the egt sensor be drilled and tapped while the manifold is still on the car? Apparently supra owners will run the engine while putting a hole through the manifold to avoid any metal shavings entering.

Since there is no overlap in a rotary engine, you could just cap the exhaust and pressurize it at the air pump port.
But, really, if you are careful, there will be very little if any debris and it will go through the turbine at relatively low speed on its way out of the manifold.

While I understand that EGT is useful information and measuring it close to the ports improves accuracy . The info you might get from the OEM sensor could be equally useful if one was only looking for a comparison .
If you really wanted good information and were going to the trouble of fitting a probe , why not do it at the manifold and measure the temp coming from each separate rotor . I know there are dual gauges that are made specifically for this purpose for rotaries . I think you even showed me one Greg ?

a single point is basically useless IMO, you've got to hit both rotor exhaust port outlets at a minimum otherwise one rotor could be extra rich and the other rotor extra lean, but a single reading may only give you the average of the two combined and make it all look A-OK.

However, as a general indicator of which side of the torque peak you are on (with a properly flowed set of injectors), the turbo collector is a satisfactory placement.

Engine tuning is not about the raw numbers, anyway.
