Why You Need This

Exhaust gas temperature monitoring isn't optional on serious builds — it's essential insurance against catastrophic engine damage. Whether you're running a built 2JZ-GTE pushing 600hp, an LS turbo conversion, or extracting maximum power from an RB26, EGT data tells you exactly what's happening inside the combustion chamber when AFR readings alone aren't enough. Lean conditions under boost can send EGTs soaring past 900°C in seconds, turning pistons into expensive confetti.

This 1/4" open tip design offers faster response times compared to closed-tip alternatives, crucial when you need instant feedback during dyno tuning or track sessions. The 28.5" length suits most engine bay configurations — perfect for positioning in the exhaust manifold collector or individual runners on builds where space permits. We've fitted these on everything from Escort Cosworth builds to modern BMW N54 conversions, and the data consistency is what separates successful tunes from expensive rebuilds.

Complete Your Build

Most customers installing EGT monitoring also require exhaust bungs for proper mounting, additional thermocouples for multi-cylinder monitoring, and appropriate wiring extensions depending on their specific installation. Our technical team can advise on the complete EGT monitoring setup for your build, ensuring you get the right sensors in the optimal positions. With UK stock available for immediate despatch, we'll have you monitoring temps properly rather than guessing at safe limits.
