EGT Sensors

Who makes the best EGT kit with sensor and analogue converter for wiring to a MS1v3?
Is there another pin on the MS to accept 0-5V in, I already have a WB O2 connected.
Thanks

For my MS3-Pro build I picked up a 2-channel amplifier from exhaustgas.com that will convert the mV signal from the EGT sensors to a 0-5V signal for the ECU.

I also bought a pair of EGT sensors from DIYAutoTune.

Thanks for the links, I had never heard of exhaustgas.com, the unit you bought is exactly what I'm looking for and at a good price too, so I'll grab one.
Would you happen to know if there is more than one 0-5V input pin on the MS1v3? I currently have a WB O2 wired in, but will need another input for the EGT.....
Thanks again

Sorry, this is my first experience with MS and I don't know a whole lot about the MS1 or MS2.

Check out this site though...may have the info you need.

MS-Extra Manual Index

Their support forum is a good place to ask questions as well.

Out of curiousity, why did you go with the separate EGT amplifier and Black Stinger thermocouples from DIY instead of the combo amp & probe from exhaustgas.com?

BTW, big fan of MotoIQ, keep it up!

Pretty simple really...I went ahead and picked up the thermocouples when I got the ECU which was before I decided to buy the EGT amp. I was actually planning on building my own amp, but the exhaustgas.com one was what I wanted (2-channel) for a good price.

Also, I honestly think the "Stinger Pro" from exhaustgas.com is the same thermocouple as the "Black Stinger" from DIYAutoTune (same goes for the "Bullet II Pro" and the "Red Avenger"). I have no evidence to back up this claim, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Thanks...expect another article very soon.
