At least, I think the begi EGR port is 1/2", maybe 1/4". Stephanie?

Basically I'm looking for an adapter which is 1/4" npt thead on the outside, 1/8" on the inside so I can screw in my greddy egt probe. Any ideas?

something like that? but steel so it doesn't die?

 

bingo. I found that but need it in steel, dog. Can anyone confirm the thread I need for the begi manifold? I really think the greddy EGT bung is 1/4", even though the manual says otherwise.

 

phones are too advanced for you?

 

Actually, yes. I'm in the deathstar, my celly doesn't work and there's some hotspot issue so my office wireless doesn't work either. Its kind of cool though because I don't have to talk to any retards today.

 

The EGT probe is probably 1/8NPT, all of them I've seen are. If you can't find the adapter you need, you could buy a plug to fit in the EGR and then tap it for the EGT probe.

 

Lowes has these.

 

1/2" to 1/8" I was looking for one when I was building a pressure tester for my gas line out to my garage. Couldn't find one. Ended up doing 1/2" to 1/4", then 1/4" to 1/8".

 

EGR is 3/8 NPT. We have brass reducer fittings.

Hustler, I may have what you need in brass. Yours free cause im gonna pay it forward for the lug wrench JayMX5 is sending me.

 

3/8npt with 1/8" npt internally threaded? I'm in like flynn.

 

Stephanie just said that the EGT is 3/8 npt.

I should have a 1/2npt to 3/8npt. I need to look.

But I might have what you mention as well. I'll IM you tonight.

 

So a brass fitting installed into the log manifold won't melt? I had my manifold drilled for the 1/8" EGT probe but decided I don't want to chance putting a probe pre-turbo in case it comes apart and flies into the turbo-I was just going to plug with brass but now I'm looking for a 1/8" iron plug instead. ?

 

Brass has a higher melting point than exhaust gas can provide. The difference is within 200C I think.

 

the EGR port is 3/8, the egt is 1/8. Acronym party ftw!

 

ok....so...does anyone know where I can get a fitting for the greddy egt thermo-couple, or which fitting to get from these guys:

I'm sooooo tired of looking for **** in one of my hotels or apartments.

 

i need this

 

if you can't find the plug adapter, just get a plug with no hole and drill and tap the bish.

 

I may just do that with the plug I have in th egr hole...the hotel is going to love the guy who takes the manifold and turbo off his car in the parking lot. I wonder if a vacuum would suck the metal shavings out through the little, freshly tapped hole? lol

Which cylinder is the hottest on a 99 motor with a coolant reroute? Hopefully none.
