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.

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.
