Thread: I've chosen my EGT monitor, but...

Ill post a pic of my installation shortly.
The blanking plate is an easier job, however IMO the best spot is before the turbo as you get an overall reading, rather than just one cylinder.

It will take an extra hour to do the fitting as you need to move the turbp out of the way to clear the swarf from drilling and tapping.

Auberins offer a gauge and K type probe as a package. Whichever probe you decide on, ake sure you get that probe but with the longer leads. Mine only just made it into the cab from the exhaust manifold.

Cheers

Sorry to take so long with the pic, I ve had some pretty hectic night shifts this week.

Here they are.
I have yet to cut the slot out of the front ash tray fascia for a neat appearance.

nice work

I'm looking at the Auberin monitor, but am a bit unsure of which probe to get with it.

I have read that a longer probe is of more benefit to get more acurate readings, but I dont see a straight one on their site, only the longer "L" shaped ones.
It is going in the blanking plate on a TD5 Discovery,(EGR removed), but just not sure if the probe will fit in the area under the top radiator hose because of its shape.


EGT sensor with longer tip. [TC-KEGL] - $36.00 : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industry


Anyone familiar with this set up??

Thanks,

G'day mate

I just got the same gauge for my D1 and from what some of the other guys say its a great little unit. i was wondering myself which probe i'd need as well. i to was going to remove the blanking plate from the manifold and buy another one with the thread already in the plate from one of the guys from here but cant find it. when i find it i'll post it up.
