An advantage of the EGT monitoring verses monitoring the cylinder head temperature is the close to immediate response to change in temperature verses the fuel to air ratio. The peak or point of maximum temperature is the basic reference for performance management. If you have experimented with the exhaust gas temperature sensors at the engine builder’s dyno or engine manufacturers recommended maximum horsepower, you have observed during the tuning process results in the peaking of the exhaust gas temperature via the gradual leaning of fuel and air ratio adjustments.
The peak temperature in each cylinder will vary with different power settings, changes in altitude, and ambient temperature. So tuning for specific atmospheric conditions can be critical on race day. Typically a hand held digital readout like the dual channel or single channel meters The Sensor Connection offers will have the ability to read individual cylinder exhausts or cylinder banks. Multiple channel data acquisition systems will gather and display data from all exhaust port temperature readings simultaneously. The requirements for precision of the data collection of your application will determine the type of data collection system you will need. You can find EGT probes here that meet you mechanical installation requirements
