hey how you doin i was wondering where the best place would be for a egt probe on a 350z with the turbonectics single turbo kit on the car all ready...should i tap a header 4inches down from the block on one of the runners OR dhould i tap the downpipe after the turbo? and how far away from the turbo should i go...thanks

 

Before the turbos, as close to the head as possible. Here is mine on the APS TT:

whats ur egts at at that spot?

 

I have mine tapped on the feed pipe to the turbo after the merge. Look under the car in front of the drivers side front wheel. There is a pipe that bends up and goes into the bottom of the turbo. Granted this is not the MOST accuarate method but it does give you a good reference point.

 

At WOT, I usually get up to about 1550F max. I get 11.5-11.9 O2 values from the wideband sensor located right after the LHS turbo. Also, the weather has been really warm around here lately (105+).

It runs really strong, but at those values, I will wait until a retune and water injection before I put the hi-flow cats that I bought.

Later,

 

well thanks soo far anyone else have any other places where i could tap into the system. something thats kinda of acurate

 

Mine is tapped into the downpipe, just a few inches after the Turbo.

 

Ideally, as close the exhuast port as possible. Due to space constraints, its sometimes hard to mount them there with the engine in the car.

 

mine is tapped in my muffler, at WOT I only see 450 degrees...so there!

















j/k, in the downpipe

 

thanks guys what kind of readings is everyone getting after the turbo in the downpipe?
ill probally end up putting it in the header. if i can get to it.

 

im gonna put mine in the y-pipe that joins both banks right in front of the turbo.

 

any #'s for after the turbo in the downpipe. really curious about that

 

never see over 1250 at the hottest

around 1000 at 6th gear cruise 2500rpm

 

1250 at cruise...mounted on the downpipe, and I Have case manifolds. Never seen more than 1400 at WOT.

 

Mine is mounted in the turbo feed pipe. Never more then 1250../.
