Intake temp and Exhaust temp sensors? - JTaylor2005 - 25-12-2014 Hey all. Im thinking of fitting intake and exhaust gas temperature sensors to my car. I was thinking drill and tap the intake elbow to fit a pressure and temp sensor there. And then drill and tap the exhaust manifold to fit an EGT sensor. I like to keep an eye on stuff like that anyway but would it also help a mapper to figure out how far they can push safely? Cheers guys  RE: Intake temp and Exhaust temp sensors? - Tom - 25-12-2014 Yes it would help the mapper. RE: Intake temp and Exhaust temp sensors? - HDi--Power - 25-12-2014 I love what people do be musing on Christmas day RE: Intake temp and Exhaust temp sensors? - JTaylor2005 - 26-12-2014 Lovely. And haha yeah just came to me. I was sat waiting for Christmas lunch after finishing off a couple of packs of sweets so thought I would do a little bit of research. RE: Intake temp and Exhaust temp sensors? - pro_steve - 26-12-2014 In my opinion they do help when setting it up if you're pushing it quite far and maybe above a normal stage 2. If it's a normal stage 1 / stage 2 map then it isn't really essential. What they are good for is looking after your engine/turbo when you're doing long full power runs up a hill etc, or loaded up with a full car, or prolonged enthusiastic driving, you can quickly see if it's getting hot and back off the power. RE: Intake temp and Exhaust temp sensors? - JTaylor2005 - 26-12-2014 Tbf that was what I was thinking. Its always nice to know when your going that little bit too far with it haha
