did not wan't to let it out because I know someone is gonna buy up all the probes and sell them on ebay for autometer's price but here you go.
$23 a probe kit.
www.aircraftspruce.com , then you need something to read it.

Thanks. I have a knock monitor now http://www.talkjdm.com/showthread.php?t=3284 came up with this. I think I would still like to get an egt. I don’t know what im doing yet just wanted some input.

I use the zeitronix integrated in the wideband.

I really wanna install a knock monitor though.
do you already run water injection if not it can possibly help stabalize those temps

yes run water/methanol injection, but I don' notice any difference in egt temps, I do notice a difference in IAT though I've read that honda IAT sensors takes 15 seconds to give data. I am gonna try and data log to focus on the egt when I put the car back together. I have these mahle pistons with some really tight clearance maybe it will change the way my motor runs in all ways.

be careful with tight clearance.. or they are made to high hp and require this tight clearance i guess?? low thermal expansion.. or what ever..?? you know what your doing im sure..

the pistons are made with different type of alloy, I was researching it, they said something about high silicon content makes it less maleable , less expansion, so you use stock clearance.

I works ok at the moment I am trying to get less electrical noise. Gos a bit crazy around an alternator.
