egt gauge + afr gauge fitting

[monka]

where do you put the egt gauge sensor?

i have heard in the manifold and to put it in the hole for the lower temperature hole,

i have a silk road mani so have a hole ready for the egt gauge, so could i put it there?

also, where does the reading for the air/fuel ratio gauges get taken from?
cheers

egt is best in the mani where the runners meet. AFR is best in the downpipe.

Hes on about my AFR gauge, its electrical so wont go in the downpipe mate.

It splices in too a few wires under the dash and reads it somhow.

Im not that good with car electrics i run and hide when i have to do anything with them.

mate i woudnt even fit that afr gauge then, there useless and just for looks. get a wideband.

if its a narrow band air fuel gauge u connect it to the lamba sensor wire or the lamba wire on the ecu

exactly.

Dont be daft bud. It cost about £50 not much as gauge prices go but still not cheap, its not a "show" gauge, if it was i would be sending it back quicker than jack-flash.

Its more likely to be somthing like that mate, i wouldnt know as ive never fitted one.

hmm addaman just says its a narrowband AFr gauge, it just shows correct a/f only near 14.7:1. when the a/f gets richer or leaner, the narrowband afr isnt accurate cause it only gets 0 or 1volt signal, yet the wideband gets 0-5v..narrowband does only good if u just want to see "a part" of the a/f ratio...widebands are better for tuning and monitoring a/f

also you know your lambda is still alive at least
