Why Fit An EGT Sensor?

What's the advantage of fitting an exhaust gas temperature sensor and how can we leverage that data for our tuning?

In this quick rundown, we look at a few reasons why we might want to fit an EGT sensor, why we can't just use our Lambda aka O2 sensor for the data instead, plus the advantages of using a CAN-based module like EMTrons ETC4 vs traditional thermocouple amplifiers.

I use thermocouples and RTDs in projects. I use a conversion block to convert the signal to output a scaled 4-20ma signal or a scaled millivolt signal. Calibration per channel is really important.

Short answer is because engines don’t flow exactly the same from cylinder to cylinder. EGT is a measure of combustion quality of fuel with air. You can tune each cylinder better and prevent a premature lean detonation by checking your EGT. Also some fuels don’t work well with O2 sensors and you need to tune based on heat vs Lambda.

Maxxecu race has built in 8 channel egt monitoring.

Lop n rop lean out on top redline rpms not idle peak curve which is closer too naturally aspirated advance timing if one cylinder over heating spark check if all magneto coil dale

on a Otto engine. Not on a diesel.

Me with my diesel regularly hitting 1600F-1800F depending on atmospheric conditions

Would be interesting to see a egt on my au falcon when its on its 4th set of tires and the exhaust is redhot sagging on the road 😂

Wrong chts yes not egts cylinder head temperature don't pass 390 some billet steel n nickel seal needs ceramic coating 414 420 Max's to cold lead build up to hot crack head hole in piston top in airplane ✈️🛫 tit 1300 forget egts chts trust me
