EGT wire lead.

[Fingers]

cant tell if they are different metals or not. one wire is yellow one is red. metal looks the same in both wires.

Go here and order PR-K-24-25 in the part number builder at the bottom of the page for ~$17 plus shipping. The color codes will match and 25' of wire should be enough. It is el-cheapo wire, but your splice will be outside of the engine compartment, so it should work well.

Remember, red to red, yellow to yellow.

Freakin sweet man, thanks again

I dont need any wire, but thanks.


i have the egt probe from banks 6 gun installed. before i bought the snow kit I ask both banks and snow (on my truck 'snowbanks') if i could run both of their moniters off the same egt probe. both companies said yes it will work. and it did. brought the engine up to temp, attached the 2nd moniter, and all is good. cruising on the eway both egt moniters read about the same, although the snow seems to change faster. and both moniters read about the same as when it was solo moniter.

so i didnt install the 2nd egt probe, tossed it on the shelf....

Fingers, THANKS! I had no idea it was that 'fussy'!! :hug:

Only because the copper-alumel and copper-chromel junctions are very sensitive (10 times or more) to temperature changes and then have different character even between themselves.

What connectors do you recommend?

The thing you have to watch out for is grounded Thermocouples. Some gauges, SPA comes to mind, can't handle a grounded probe.

These 2 have worked together for about 50,000 miles so far

Thanks for all the info fingers - seriously great stuff!

If you're going to ever log it in EFILive don't get the grounded connector... efi won't do anything with 'em. Just FYI

I checked autometers site and didn't see anything.

I checked autometers site and didn't see anything.

When I called them about mine, they said the gauge was calibrated to the length of wire it came with.

I just ran min down the passenger side and out from there.

When I get home I will check it out more in depth just tryin to get an idea of my options are. Thanks all
