Exhaust Temperatures - Petrol vs Diesel

hi graham
interesting facts but not surprised that 4th is best as a cooler temp puts less stress factors long term on a motor and at the right temp a motor will perr along we used to cover part off the radiator on our tractors in the winter to raise temp a little and they would pull better
egt - is that -exhaust gas test- guage?

and is the probe strapped to the exhaust pipe or inserted or close by on a bracket??

where do you get them from?
and approx price if you dont mind thanking you in advance
cheers and notice after revisiting a previous thread that you where in bunno the other day would have tryed to catch you for a chat
but as they say hard to catch a fast kiwi
cheers barry

Exhaust Gas temperature Gauge

-robe is inserted thrua hole in side of exhaust with a threaded nut holding it in place So is absolutely in the firing line of heat.

They are $350 roughly here but with the Aussie $ I would get one from where I got mine Here

http://www.atlanticspeed.com


Mine is a white faced one but would get a black faced one again

Get a Metric one NOT a Farenheit.

Mine was $128 plus postage and is an Autometer Phantom (kit)

Will look tonite and post a pic of mine just on our way ouy


Im in Bussleton now till Monday while I get car serviced

hi graham h
thank you very much for the www.atlanticspeed.com website
it"s the best guage site i have seen and no problems with sending there products to australia autometer are a top brand as well

you name it and they have it not many too chose from though - ROFL

but was almost finished my selection and their website inccurred an error and shut down so have to wait until it"s on again but thanks once again
cheers

No probs pic of my one in my profile second page of pics.

Its a pa\hontom II and the number ends with an M denoting metric

like 4727M is metric 4727 is a farenheit one.

OKMine is a 5744M is a whole kit and on Atlanticspeed is $158 US

I just took inner guard cover off and drilled a hole in side of pipe before I had the new exhaust fitted.

They supply a stainless hoseclip type of clamp and its easy to fit.

Just dont cut the cable.

hi peter
from my farming experiences in the past we were always highly conscious and on alert when using a petrol vehicle in our straw and dry grass paddocks during summer and the old dry spinifex is alway a tinderbox waiting to ignite lights quicker than paper try it some time with a magnifying glass
and would never leave one idling if hot many fires have been started by them
sorry but cant give you a temp figure comparison
