Just clicked in my head once you mentioned that, thanks Vlad.

I also have 4 HBX-1 heatsinks in there now (I used to have the DIY copper heatsinks as recommended by Innovate, however they would crack on a regular basis due to vibrations), so the sensors last a little longer than expected.
Btw I do have the sensors installed on a permanent basis as I am always testing ECUs on my car. |
EGT would be much more reliable, not to mention cheaper.
Ive been thinking of building a multiple channel EGT setup using some AD595 thermocouple amplifiers. Theyre kinda of expensive pieces of silicon (~$15 each), but not much else is required to build it, and thats still nothing compared to widebands. EDIT: Another cool thing about EGT is that you can see detonation. |
You can see exactly zero det from EGTs. Ask me how I know.

User error I think.
Its probably useless for catching detonation while driving the car, but if youre logging it on the dyno you should see a sudden drop in EGT when detonation occurs. Unfortunately this is so counter-intuitive that people have frequently made the mistake of not interpreting the drop in EGT as a bad thing. |
Dimitris, how much effort did you go to ensuring the EGT and WB bungs and the parts which block them when not in use do not impede flow?
I wonder if simply not protruding into the cylinder is enough. Dann |
Zero effort. This is my DD/mobile lab/track toy, so even if I lose 5hp because of the reduced flow, I don't care. :)
