South man Member 31 Member For: 11y 9d Posted 28/11/15 12:05 PM Author Share Posted 28/11/15 12:05 PM So I got the bung welded in today and the probe set, when cruising it usually sits around 350-400degree, and increases when your on the pedal.

Unless you're running a probe per exhaust port it's not going to deliver any useful information.For my situation, would one sensor, in dump ... Linked into motec with shift light warning setup ... So once a temperature reaches XXX, the light comes on, so I can shut off.Wise ? Or a waste ?Genuine question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 11y 3m 1d Posted 29/11/15 05:18 AM Share Posted 29/11/15 05:18 AM ^Waste. Meth has large operating range were the motor will be left in tact. 10 seconds of throttle at a time you won't see the change on the gauge quick enough. Better off just turning on engine protection to monitor oil, fuel, coolant pressure to shut off if any problems. You should also add a pressure relief in a couple of core plug holes and coolant tank in the boot for incase of head lifting water under tyres again situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more info the better Yeah that was the plan: to have a common motec shift light (like 10 high intensity LEDs) for any low/high oil/fuel/coolant/etc ... As soon as the light goes on, it goes off.I am grout filling the block, welding up the bottom of the head, running 14.3mm ARP headstuds with atomic oversize washers.... I dislike coolant haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
