Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to weld an autometer EGT bung into a racingbeat downpipe?

Would i be able to get away with just tapping the downpipe? I mean, it's THICK SS, no?

 

Never done a Autometer myself. I bought bungs from Summit Racing for about a buck fifty each. Drilled a hole approx the bung size. Brought it up to a slip fit/press fit, with a rotary file. Welded with wire welder. Twernt purdy until I ground the weld down with Mikita grinder and did some more welding. About an hour job for me if you don't count removing/repacing the downpipe. Welding ain't me forte. Errr...works though. No leaks.

 

umm the RB downpipe already has a bung doesn't it? the 3" one does.

although it was too big for my greddy... so I just welded the threaded part of the egt into the hole.

I think it fits the autometer one

 

It does, but only one bung -- for the o2 sensor.

 

I ment an egt one. mine had 2. maybe the new stye only have one.

or did you get the 2.5" one?

 

2.5 my friend :P figured there is no point going with a 3" dp if my turbo outlet was only 2.5" anyway... plus i got a smoking deal.

 

I use 308L .030" Wire with Tri--Mix Gas.

 

I have a 3" RB and it only has one

 

I welded an EGT bung on my own custom DP and it was pretty easy I thought...

As long as were on this subject, whats everyone runing for temps????

 

i would like to know the temps that everyone is running on the autometer guages. i am looking at putting one in my n/a s/5. i will have a header on when i put it in. wheres the best place to put it? should i put it in just one pipe or where they both meet? sorry for budding in on your thread. but any help will do. thanx in advance travis

 

My RB 3 only has 1.

 

Has anyone tried to attach it using the ceramic washer? :P thanks!
