I don't want to get screwed when I setup for Nitrous only to find It's no good to me anymore.

Also, keep In mind I have a na. Although modified and using the S-AFC, my temps are going to be up there. (Due to the leaning effect the S-AFC has). But even still, my temps aren't nearly as high as a Turbo. So will my temps stay within the 1600F barrier that the Autometer Gauge monitors? Also, although many other varibles are Involved, but what about when In use with Nitrous?

Then what did/do use after the Autometer EGT Gauge? Remember, I plan on Nitrousing, as you'll remember from our previous conversation. I don't want to get screwed when I setup for Nitrous only to find It's no good to me anymore.

I'v herd the autometer is faster to register?? but after reading threads about the probs burning out, greddy seemed like the only choice.

I did hear it sucked *** though. I got some inconsistent readings with it as well.
I love the Greddy unit. I can't tell you how many times it has likely saved my motor.

You can make a 60mm fit in a 52mm plastic pod! you just file around the edges ever so slightly to wided the opening. I'm going to the dyno today, I'll post some pic's of my buddys MR2 turbo gauge pod with a 60mm in a 52mm pod.

If you Turbo dudes are seeing 720C - 740C at WOT then It would be okay to to get the Autometer EGT Gauge seeing how a na Is not nearly generating as much heat as a Turbo.
With the above example at avg. being 730C, converted to Fahrenheit, due to the Autometer EGT reads In this mode (0-1600F), would be 1346F. Plenty of room 'till the 1600F barrier Is reached!

Is 740*C what I should tune for? My car is coming out of the shop in the next few days and I'll need to tune it until I get on a dyno.
Oh and you can get a 52mm GReddy egt gauge for $155 from www.rx7store.net

But does this Gauge come with necessary wiring and Probe to make a complete set up?
If not, I found It difficult to look for the accessories for the EGT, unless It already comes with It.
