Okay guyz, iv done some research and got some contrasting opnnions on the exact location for best results for the placement of the exhaust gas temperrature sensor in the exhaust system
this is a comment i got from the a honda forum:
"the best place to put it is about 2 inches away from the head on the 3rd runner of the manifold.
Why?
#3 is ALWAYS the hottest cylinder. 1+4 are more surrounded by water than 2+3 are, an because of firing order, 3 is hotter than 2."[/COLOR]
so what is the firing order of the ep82 with regards to the above quote?? and also if running to lean will melt pistons, why not just monitor the "hottest" piston/runner by placing it in the induvidual runner and measuring/monitoring that rather than monitoring all by putting it where the runners meet (which some reckon is already too far from the cylinder head to be totally accurate)
this is a different oppinion from another site again:
Installation
Installation is quick and simple. The EGT probe must be fitted approximately 6” or 100mm after the turbo into the exhaust down pipe. The Lambda sensor must be fitted as far back as possible in the exhaust system for the most accurate readings. Preferably behind the silencer box as close as possible to the tail pipe. All fittings and wiring is supplied (customer supply own lambda probe) as part of the Turbo Logix EGT/AFR package.
also some additional info that i thought might be useful to guyz is this that i got off some site aswell:
Place the EGT wires as far as possible from the ignition components such as plugs, plug wires, and coils. Since the ignition components carry thousands volts they are a very powerful sources of EMI noise. The EMI noise may be inducted into the EGT wires. The Zt-2 has a sophisticated common noise rejection circuit, however the EGT signals are in mili volt levels (0.001V) where the ignition carries tens of thousands (10000) volts and placing the EGT wires near the ignition components may result in false EGT peak and hold readings.
any help would be gr8 guyz
thanx
