lammbn Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hey guys, i just wanted to run something by you guys to see if my logic was ok on this one. i am getting ready to drill a 6 into 1 header for two EGT sensors and i want to make sure i don't screw anything up. i am building my own EGT sensor controller with dual digital readouts and an individual adjustable alarm system for when the temps get over a certain point. my question is which two cylinders would be the best to monitor? I am going to put them about an inch and a half downpipe from the flange. my thinking was to put them on cylinders #2 and #5. this was because those two cylinders always seem to be on the opposite end of the spectrum for flow rates and turbulance on most intake manifolds. #5 would go lean and get hot before the other cylinders because of lower flow and #2 would go rich and get hot sooner because of better flow. my main concern is being able to have any advantage to catch things as soon as i can before they go wrong when i am tuning the high end. i am definitly up for suggestions and/or any reasons to place them elswhere. thanks in advance guys.

510six Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I use # 1 and #5 for the EGT outputs, due to the very sharp turn in the stock EFI manifold in cyl #1 runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 2 and 5 is what I used years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
