Good EGT systems.

I'm looking for a twin channel EGT system.

I would prefer the following features (and probably won't buy any if they don't exist).

2x Calibrated 0-5V outputs (one for each K-type EGT channel) to feed into my ECU for laptop based data logs.
1x Twin channel EGT gauge that takes in 0-5V analogue signal OR alternatively a digital signal.

I have a dual PLX setup that connects to their OLED multigauge and has outputs that I have connected to my Datalogit. Overall, I'm happy with the setup. The sensor module boxes are a little big and clunky to connect together but other than that it's a nice piece of kit.

Get a hold of Exhaust Gas Technologies. I just ordered a 2 channel signal converter to put my Single egt in to my haltech at 0 to 5 v. They can build a two channel EGT on a single stinger for you. In my case, one for the ecu and one for a guage. These guys can set up what ever you desire. It's what they do.

I have the Exhaust Gas Technologies two channel amp and 2 dual tip stinger probes in my car. The gauge works flawlessly (Redline Gauge) but the amp going to the haltech is very inconsistent. I bought a thermocouple simulator and calibrated the haltech perfectly. At idle about every 5 seconds the temp shoots up about 500F for half a second or so and then comes back to normal. While the car was on the dyno the temp was swinging back and forth like a sine wave +200F -200F around the actual temp. I emailed them about it but never got a response.

As for gauges i have a Redline EGT gauge. It has built in datalogging and if it had a 0-5V output it would be perfect!

Whatever amp you go with the most important piece is going to be using a quality open tip probe. Anything with an insulated tip is useless.

I am using the FJO dual-channel box to generate 0-5v signals.

Do they still sell the Redline gauges? I looked for one but couldn't find any recently, ended up going with the Koso dual gauge from EGT w/ their stinger probes. It's a lot more compact then I thought it would be, haven't had a chance to run it though.

I've used those a couple times with good results. I did hear that the original website those were on ripped a couple people off, though I always got good service. Looks like they have since re-named the site.

I'm a little late on the post, but I am running two of these and piping the 0-5v from each into a Haltech PS1000. They are consistent and seem to work very well. I'm very happy with them.

i run ExhaustGasTechnologies and love them. they willl fixture a setup exactly to your needs and now offer a very nice compact converter module.

they have an exhaustive product line.

a very bad pun but very accurate statement.

if you have any problems w their product, which i haven't, pick up the phone and call them or email them. i have had lots of back and forth.

you want the 1/4 diameter 50 series Bullet Hyper exposed thermocouple. very fast. they will make the leads to your specified length etc.

price is competitive, product is Pro Race quality.

that is the amp...

as far as the thermocouples... i am not sure.

the model # on mine:

EGT-5025X-72-0
X= N4 SSCF

i think that is for one unit. (i do have 2) they probably have my order specifics on file.

i suggest you order two "lead wire quick release kit EGT-0006" and of course a couple of bungs if you need them.

i find both rotors are within a maximum of 30 degrees F.

EGT readings are essential for proper tuning and engine management. you want to see 1400 F between 2 psi and 14 psi for max spool.

Yeah I agree this certainly looks like the best option!

Thanks
