Cheapo EGT Gauge...?
Cheapo EGT Gauge...?
These things are cheap on fleagay, like this one--
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PID-TEMPERATUR...1c1cf16157
There's various functions one could be used as H2O/MeOH Injection above a certain temp....
Yup--Its 90-230V AC/DC power-source-driven, but I'm sure the actual device prob runs on 5-10V which wouldn't be hard to sort out considering the savings over an 'official' EGT gauge....
Just a thought.....

The expensive part is moreso the thermocouple.

PPE sells them for injection molding machines.

I can be wrong, don't take everything I say as verbatim, please fact-check first.

I can get ungrounded K-type thermocouples all-day, every day for under $20.

im not the man for the job (not up on this type of electronics), but someone should put together a parts list.
cars? what cars? WHERE???

Ive cracked it open hoping to see if I could power it from a 5 or 12V supply, but it appears there's both Positive and Negative supply-rails to the main guts of the device....
I'm thinking a very small simple inverter to generate a hundred or so volts will run it happily. It quotes a supply of 80-250V AC or 80-360V DC input....
As to the thermocouple, It came supplied with a 'K' type anyway....

So, when it gets here, I'm gonna have a play....
Same seller has This too--

--Which is Already 12V supply....
