EGT Gauge

[Grootseun]

Ok so kom manne waar kry ek n EGT gauge met sy thermo couple wat nie lyk of die ding uit n 1980 russiese weermag lorrie uitgeruk is nie ( sien autostyle verkoop ene maar sonder sy couple )
Wil die ZD30 se temps dophou , gaan ook kyk na n ordentlike boost gauge en kyk selfs na n beter boost controller vir die VGT turbo en natuurlik daai dekslese egr uitgooi en n catch can vir die blow by uitsort

[Peter Connan]

As jy 'n Madman EMS kry, kan jy al die enjin waarskuwings-tekens dophou met een stelsel, en self hoorbare alarms plaas op al jou metings, sodat jy dit nie heeltyd onder oog hoef te hou nie?

[Grootseun]

Thanx Peter ek kyk nou juis daarna , wat beveel die manne aan net die EGT of gaan ons maar EMS en kry klaar

[Peter Connan]

As dit ek was, EGT, Boost, Water temp en oliedruk. Dan weet jy mos jou enjin is veilig?

[Grootseun]

Ek hoor jou Peter , ek hou net nie van n een gauge doen alles opset nie , seker maar vol crap , ek het reeds n Auto Gauge Smoke Boost gauge om in te sit , lyk nice , sien niks op dial as sleutel af is nie maar hy light mooi op as jy aansit , kan ook so een kry vir EGT maar hy kom sonder die K type thermo couple so nou wonder ek net as ek die K type couple koop by Madman gaan dit werk en gaan ek die ding kan kilibreer , ek wil graag die add ons darem almal identies laat lyk

Praat met die diesel manne wat weet as jy oog van daai gauge afhaal vir n paar sekondes en iets gaan fout moet hy dadelik alarm of afsit voor daai engine soos n handgranaat maak
Chriso slang is baie happy met syne! Ek stem saam piet alarm en engne cut is nodig

[Gerrit Loubser]

I would not go for engine cut functionality in such a devise. My reasons are the following:

• Why is it required? Surely you can hear an audible alarm, check the gauges and take appropriate action?
• I really don't like to interfere with factory wiring looms, because this is just inviting unreliability.
• There may be times (such as when misjudging an overtaking maneuver) where you would rather push the EGTs a little high, but be safe otherwise. Having the motor cut automatically would then be the last thing one would want.

[Peter Connan]

Tinus I agree with Gerrit, engine cut is dangerous. The only way I would consider engine cut is if you have two different set-points, so that cut only occurs say 15-20% higher than audible alarm.

But Driko you don't want to spend your life staring at a row of gauges, this doesn't add anything to your safety. An audible alarm warning you of an impending situation is much better. When the Madman alarms, it will also show you which parameter the alarm is for, so you can decide what to do about it.

The world is full of people who seized their engines or cracked their heads because they never noticed the gauge was in the red.

[Grootseun]

Peter , i agree but i spend my ife staring at gauges for my job so i am used to it , all for the audible alarm but in seperate gauges , easy enough cicruit to build if i decide to go that route anyway

[Herrie]

SAC in Centurion doen ook die EGT.
