EGT Gauge

[Grootseun]

SAC vra R2300 vir EGT , Madman sin draai so R1500 en opwaards
Nou oppad Auto Style om n salesman te gaan uitsor t, hy sweer hoog en laag dat hulle Auto Gauge egt sonder die thermo couple kom , het gou die vervaardigers gekontak en hulle se ek mag hom oprol dit kom met alles in die kits en dit kos net R850 so ek sal julle op hoogte hou

[Grootseun]

Ok , EGT gekry vir R695 saam met couple (wat nie in kit is nie )

Heel nice , afgeskakel ook n swart smoke lens soos my boost gauge so jy sien niks , skakel hom aan en hy wys jou battery voltage vir 30sek , dan begin hy EGT wys in digitaal met gekleurde LEDs rondom wat in kleur verander tot na rooi as jy by gevaar sone kom - sal saterdag fit en n before en after foto post

[Grootseun]

Goed so na baie gespartel en mooi praat het ek saterdag die EGT en Boost gauges ingebou ( fotos sal seker more of so geneem word )
Baie nice en baie interesant - het werklik nie gedink my exhaust gasse se temps kan so drasties varieer nie - ek kry sommer binne sekondes as ek by n verkeerslig staan en luier n lesing van so 200C en sodra ek weer ry skiet dit op na so 550C toe , slegs as ek hard ry of n styl opdraende klim kom dit by 720C en selfs dan kan ek net aftap en dit val byne dadelik
Die VGT turbo het ook n interesante boost patroon teenoor die petrol en ouer wastegate tipe turbos wat ek gewoond is - boost so 0.8 teen 120kmph as ek cruise , maar my boost varieer redelik tussen 0.4 tot 0.8 aghangend van die vrag op die engine en in watter rat die autobox sit met normale dorps ry patrone

Net bly om te sien my EGT's lyk vir nou nog heel veilig as ek op die oop pad is en dan natuurlik ook beindruk met die Auto Gauge digitale EGT gauge , so in die ry skakel hy met tye oor na n volt lesing op battery vir so paar sekondes voor hy weet EGT lees , rerig handig as n man dinge graag wil monitor

Aaai... maar waars die photos!!!!.... I want to see....

Driko -- hoor nou mooi - munni self die kamera operate nie ... kry iemand met delikate handjies en 'n sagte aanslag om di efotos te neem - met 'n kamera is "druk die knoppie" 'n sagte afwaartse druk van die [gewoonlik] wysvinger .. en nie 'n "inmekaardruk van die hele hand nie

- Nou soek ons ander gepeupel ook daardie afsetpunt vir die minder as R1000 EGT, asseblief?

Grootseun,


Just back from Germany. Weather was K$%^^#K,

I have a Mad man system that looks at egt, oil pressure, coolent temp, as well as charge rate. Woorks very well. Contact Mynhard at SAC Centurion

[ricster]

Can the Madman be fitted bu an inexperienced blonde like me or is it a technical operation to do?

I still think for my case the turbo boost gauge is important. My turbo on my 4.2 is a little bigger than whats normally fitted as an aftermarket, so I'm a little more concerned about the turbo boost, than oil pressure..... besides the dash light will come on should there be an issue with insufficient oil pressure. The 4.2's also have quite a serious oil bypass for pressure issues. IMHO, If you service you diesel regularly with the correct oil, your oil should also not thin out to the point where the pressure becomes critical ...

Cedric that's all good and well up untill the day your oil filter pops or unscrews. Iff you have an oil cooler fitted, I reckon it's a must-have.

The dash light will not warn you in time to save your engine of something pops.

[ricster]

I don't mean to hi-jack a thread.... but I am a bit unsure about this. Does the oil light on the dash not register an oil pressure drop?

I would think that should one pop an oil filter, it won't matter what system you have ....you have k@k cause the pressure will be dropped instantly everywhere in the motor

[Peter Connan]

Cedric the dash light will come on, but you can set the minimum pressure on the madman to a higher value so it warns you faster, and it gives an audible warning so even if you are looking elsewhere you get the message.

You have perhaps a couple of seconds to stop the engine before a conrod breaks and beats it's way out of the block?
