EGT probe location
 

I have a question. Actually my friend asked me and i'm asking you. Could you mount your egt probe in the same place as the o2 sensor is on the std manifold.And is there a major reason it wouldnt work. If you guys say hell no ill give him a good kick in the nuts and say its from the hmt family and if it is a good idea ill tell him it took me hours of research and testing but yes its a good idea. And no my friends name is not hondalovinfreak.

On Hondas, most people place them 1-2" from the flange on the 3rd runner on the manifold. Why? Because the #3 cylinder is usually the first one to go on a Honda. Your readings will be a bit higher there, but more accurate.

I always thought it was #4 because it runs leanest. Why #3?

Really? #3 is always the one I hear about. Alot of people do it that way. I didn't bother with it. I just mounted mine about 2" after the turbo on the DP. It wasn't as accurate as I would have liked it to be though. It wouldn't "sweep" like most. I never really looked at it much anyways. :-\

I was thinking bout throwing mine in the DP to not have to deal with drilling the cast HF mani. So yours didnt work well DR? :'(

Re:EGT probe location
 

It just didn't sweep like it should have, so it didn't give me anything close to a "real-time" reading. I would have rather had it on a runner on the manifold so I would know what the motor was spitting out.

plus, the temps are probably going to be slightly off after the turbo. I guess it doesn't matter that much tho if you aren't comparing it to other cars.

Re:EGT probe location
 

I'm putting mine in the hole in the center of the HF manifold where the 02 sensor originally was. There's already a hole there and it's almost an ideal spot to put it. Might not be 100% accurate but it'll be close enough.

Everyone i've seen on turbo setups are always on the #3 runner.

if you have an hf manifold you obviously aren't going for a 600hp car so in the standard o2 location should be just dandy.
