  • Homemade EGT Meter

    I finally managed to build my EGT Meter - mine has a switch to switch between exhaust gases and intake temperature. It also has a swith to put off the backlight.

        Thanks

          More info on this thread:

          It is very similar to the autospeed article - but I mounted it in a box - instead of the dash. I got the display from the link in the autospeed article and the chips as samples (so free) from analog devices.

          Mihnea has a calibrated EGT so I hope to see what temps one S2 is getting WOT with his, then swap for mine and see how accurate it is. The ICs are suposedly accurate to +/1% at the high temps - hopefully see at the weekend.

            Thank you doug for the info.

            Ironically one of my buddies has been looking for this gauge for a while now. he saw one before and never could find it.

            the link is highly appreciative.

            THanks

                DOug - remind me the wiring of that EGT module... I got one from Mihnea eons ago, but never managed to install it yet (story of my life). The wiring info was in German which I never translated yet. Gawd I'm lazy....

                  Cheers for the adapters Graham

                  Paul - I don't know what you mean about wiring of the module? I Don't know what Mihnea's wiring or EGT is like internally(I made mine from the Auospeed design) - all I know about Mihneas is that it is a K-type thermocouple that goes into a massive box - with 3 displays.

                              LOL, must get round to sending mine back for warranty work. I think 350 deg C is a bit high for my intake temps!!!
