egt gauge or air/fuel gauge?

"Why do I need an Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge?
A leaner mixture will give you more power by making more heat. Too much heat, and things start to melt. You need to find out what's going on inside the motor before it's too late. Your car will never feel so fast as when the pistons are just beginning to melt. Most people who install an EGT are amazed at how close to the edge they are running. This is a must if you are going to experiment. We install the temperature probe in the exhaust manifold to get the most accurate reading. We prefer to mount the probe in the runner for cylinder number one since it seems to run the hottest. The probe can be installed without removing the manifold by drilling the hole with the engine idling. This blows out the chips. You will need a 1/8" NPT tap, if you dont have access to one, we have them for $12 "

your explaining the same thing i have said. you cant seem to understand though.
you are close . you have proved my point that it will measure the temps in the manifold. and if your close enough give you an idea about combustion temps and pressures.
stop being so thick. i will say again :: IT HAS TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER TOOLS TO BECOME RELAVENT . AND EVEN THEN IT IS NOT 100% ACCURATE.
TRY READING SOME MORE::http://www.turbosystem.com/auto/tech/info.htm

I WILL POST AS MANY ARTICLES AS NEEDED SO YOU CAN GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD THAT ONLY AN EGT GAUGE WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT A/F RATIO

note: im not trying to get into a pissing contest with you i hope you are open minded to learn like i and many others do everyday.

oh yeah, one more interesting one that will help both sides of the story.

apex again EGT readings WILL NOT give you a proper A/F ratio. NO MATTER WHAT.
there is no need to get into it about false lean readings and such. plain and simple it is only a measurement of EXHAUST TEMP WHICH WILL GIVE YOU A RELATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF GAS VELOCITY. there is no magic number or chart to look up and say at this temp i am at 12:1.
its a fanatsy. you can only infer with the readings and use OTHER helpful info to determine the efficiancy and validity of those temps. every car , every exhaust , every induction, injection, ignition on every car is different at EVERY COMBUSTION CYCLE. it is impossible to use it as a reference for the proper A/F ratio.

Thats a BIG roger good buddy!!!!

Hey guys,

I'm getting a few gauges put into my car a boost gauge and either a air/fuel gauge or egt gauge, now don't they do somewhat the same thing? The egt gauge is more expensive and is more accurate but is it worth it?

THanks

Please tell me you r not getting autometer gauges (BTW 2 5/8 is the same as 60mm)

I don't see anything wrong with autometer gauges, I know alot of people that use them and they are hardcore tuners.

my dick is bigger than both of yours

so if your car is stock forget the gauges. its not like you need them. you need front wheels to drive on and move the car. you don't however need a boost,egt, or A/F gauge. but its your car and you do whatever you feel is necessary to it.

once you start modding it though thats a whole other story

well i figure its better get the boost gauge before i get the boost controller, instead of the other way around , jmho

Is there a how-to somewhere on installing a EGT gauge? I didnt see one on the forums.
