Where do people get their EGT gauges?
Where do people get their EGT gauges?
Does anybody have a source of cheaper reliable ones? I intend to use an industrial pressure gauge for EGP.
Thanks,

As above really, eBay sell £30-40 specials which I'm staying away from, companies like Greddy sell them for c£200.

Isspro and autometer (not the cheapest series though), I've have always been a fan of Stewart Warner gauges also.
'82 300D -3" straight pipe, ALDA deleted, 3in1 glowshift gauge, HX30, egr-less manifold, A/W intercooler
'14 Ram 6.7l cummins -G56 handshaker, wishing it was deleted
I have a glowshift 3in1 gauge for my car for the past 3 years, it has worked fine and been reliable, but I don't know how much I'd recommend one just because they are made kind of cheap like.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

I'd prefer a gauge style type but how has anyone checked accuracy?
I have an ir temperature gun but I can't exactly probe my actual exhaust gas, not can I do it whilst driving for that matter!
I'm sure eBay gauges can't be that inaccurate?! I think in trying to convince myself here..

Am googling arduino installation now.

I wouldn't go with a noname chinese unit though.

Nice to see another British 210 owner! Are you going STD or at least big-TD?

Im going to buy a k-type thermocouple and work out the best manifold install and go from there, if I work out the range I can put together a simple digital reader bits from RS components..
