should both egt's read the same
I have a agressive street port on my engine along with two egt gauges, what i want to know is should they read the same as the primary intake ports are smaller then the secondary intake ports so am i right in thinking my egts will both have a different reading.

Erdin, EGT is after the exhaust port, not at the intake ports.
But with EGT probes for each port, you will still see different figures. But they should be close.

i know what egt are, what im trying to say is if the secondary intake ports are bigger, then does that not mean that there is more air going in to one side of the engine being used in the combustion process which means the heat in one of the chambers is gona be alot more so that would Influence the exhaust gases or am i wrong if u get what i mean.

Im useing the greddy peak hold gauges, so let me see if iv got this right the readings on both gauges will be slightly different but not by much, are we talking somthing like 50c.

If everything stays the same, the ported engine will run leaner, so it might be hotter.
You really should be retuning the engine for the ports, so the EGT's should not vary by much. Ideal EGT should be pretty much the same, even though you have a street port.

I don't think you will ever see them the same but
if they are 100F apart i would say that would be close,
and the higher it gets the closer together it will get.
I think the rotaries see between 1300F and 1500F
1500 being very high. I cant remember at the exact numbers at the
moment, but can check and see what the highs were on
a turbo engine.

Design 'FEATURE'. It is on the end of the fuel rail, and the air doesnt get to it aswell as it could.
When mapping this has to be allowed for, by adding more fuel to cool down temps.

Yes this is what iam having done at the moment on each exhaust port and befor the turbo but i do think it would be best not to have them to close to the exhaust ports cus the temperatur probe with time could fall off and damed the turbos due to the extream heat they would be subject to.

Generally you should not place the probe deeper than 1/3 of the way into the exhaust stream. The greater the unsupported probe length, the more susceptible to exhaust pulse damage. Contrary to popular opinion, it is the exhaust pulse, not the high temps, that eventually cause the failure of a probe tip.
A standard type K thermocouple can withstand constant temps of 1785 degrees F and maximum instantaneous peaks of about 2200 degrees F-----either of which exceed the temps your engine can handle, so any concern about the thermocouple tip being exposed to high temps is unecessary.

I have three T/Cs mounted in my 3rd gen. 2 are pre-turbo and are installed in the A'pexi mainfold for my RX6 turbo. The remaining T/C is installed in the DP immediately after the OEM placement for the O2 sensor. The preturbo T/Cs are monitored by the datalogit and the post is monitored both by gauge and datalogit.
