Hello,

What variants of EGT probe installation are possible for RB25DET? Those who have EGT gauges -- what readings do you have and what is location of EGT probe in your cars?

I just recieved my Greddy gauges and installed everything except EGT probe, i`m planning to do it this weekend. I know few loactions that EGT probe can be installed:

Before th turbocharger:

- Exhaust manifold runners junction (recommended by Greddy in the manual and also recommended by some tuners on the net for good accuracy)

- Exhaust manifold 5 or 6 cylinder runners as they must be the hottest as they are most far from the pump (am i right in this thinking?)

- Turbo housing, right after the junction with the exhaust manifold (also recommended by Greddy and some tuners)

After the turbo -- in the downpipe somewhere near O2 sensor. This way is not good as the temperature readings will be much (100-200 C) lower and also the gauge reaction will be slow.

The problem with the installation before the turbo is the sensor durability -- sometimes it burns out right into the turbo -- sure it will damage it.

So what location do recommend? What EGT readings do you have? What EGT is critical for RB25DET?

Some people tap into the exhaust manifold and monitor the temp from a specific cylinder and some people just tap it in the downpipe after the turbo. Im running it on my downpipe but the good way to do it is on the manifold. If you guys want a cheap solution for a nice 1/32 din EGT monitor check this out

just looking into the best way to go about this myself.

I've seen a few mounted close to the 02 sensor in the dump, but nissan mounts it just before the turbo flange on the rear side of the merging area. so its measuring numbers 4,5 & 6 mostly.

I'm thinking I should mount it in my merge collector but dont really know.

would like to hear some ideas from people who know more about it... please help tuners and guru's ha :P

cheers

Got mine after the dump, no way in hell im risking a long piece of metal snapping and going through the turbo. Most likely will never happen, but i personally didn't want to take the risk. Temps seem to still be fairly accurate.

HAS to be pre turbo for accurate results, most stable position is about 1cm above turbo flange in exh housing. As you have only one DONT assume 5 and 6 are going to run hotest as it is not always the case.

arrrh rightio thanks for that Trent. i have a 25, pfc, 3540r etc on a xtr manifold 300 odd kw setup. i'm leaning towards mounting it in the merge collector, but how i'mportant is it? i know some cars run them in in the runners around a inch after the head flange in every runner. like the GT autosound s15 off the top of my head, thats with a motec m800 though.

does the pfc even measure it?

cheers

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
