well, after spending $10 on a crappy midus weld, drilling and tapping a hole, i have finally installed my EGT sensor. the gauge has just been sitting there, in my car, stuck at 300 deg for the past month, so getting this in is a good thing.



assuming my exhaust hangers and donuts come in by friday from mazdatrix, i should be able to install my exhaust on friday. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

cool!



I noticed my car has a warning light for exhaust temp. What's the deal with that? I don't remember seeing a sensor or anything.

do u know the # that u got it be in ?



if u don't know it has to be between 1100 and 1400 if is below1100

is to rich if pass 1400 bbbbeeeeeeeee prepare to buy another engine

with the pounds of boots is the mixture of the gas with the egt is a good tool to set up the car u can add more pounds and just falow what the egt says!!!!!!

The higher EGt usually means a lean mixture(more air than gas). But timing also has an effect on EGTs so the AFR would also help.

crappy weld is an understatement!! wow. it's good you are getting it finished up tho. have fun watching that egt.

Seriously, learn some english....

actual temperature depends on the location of the sensor. the further down stream from the exhaust ports, the more it will cool and change.



yeah, tapping was easier than i thought, although the NPT taps are a pain b/c of the taper. oh well, its in good, and ups came by today, i was at work, so they should be there tomorrow https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif



that means exhaust hangers are in, as will my exhaust by this weekend https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



as for the crappy weld, oh well, as long as it holds, it should be fine. better than what i could do, i'm sure.
