    4 probe EGT?

    With the nature of the 2.4 motor that I am building I am strongly considering 4 EGTs to monitor each of the cylinders. I have seen some aircraft gauges capable of 4 egt's all being visible at the same time. Are these accurate enough? Should I get 4 seperate EGT gauges and probes? Suggestions? ~~H

    I know the ebay gauges your talking about.
    I was looking at them also, but I have chosen to go w/ an equal length header and a indy intake so I think everything should be close to equal. I would run 2 at most if your worried about, I think 4 is extreme, it but deffinately get a wideband.

    I monitor all four via narrowband 02's, maybe it's the custom intake is not flow balanced very well or because the headers are not true equal length but there is a two light difference (Dawes style meters) between cylinders under some conditions. So all four is not a bad idea IMO...

    If I was going to do that I'd get one of these.

    That is what we are talking about
    For my 2.4 setup I'm using an Indy intake and equal length TBI header so it will flow very even and I will only be using 1 EGT to help w/ tuning + a wideband
