Has anyone fitted an EGT gauge to a D22 Navara ZD30 & if they have were did they put the thermocouple? I was looking at drilling & taping the housing just after the turbo but I'm not sure if there is anything in there. I think going into the exhaust pipe might be to far away & I didn't want to pull off the exhaust manifold just to fit the probe. Any ideas would help.
Cheers
Matty

Hi Matty,
Haven't been on the
forum for a while so I've only just noticed your post. If you're not happy about the dismantling required to do a pre-turbo installation and you don't already have a threaded port near the turbo outlet as many aftermarket systems do, the next best idea is a socket welded onto the exhaust pipe close to the turbo outlet flange.
Access varies from model to model but on many vehicles, an exhaust specialist would be able to weld a steel 1/4" BSP female onto the pipe in situ. You can then drill through the pipe wall through the socket and insert the EGT sensor.
If you're interested, please conact me direct and I'll see if I can dig out some Navarra ZD30 photos.
