Where to put egt on ATS manifold?

[BStoecker]

BStoecker -

Lokks like you still have the stock turbo. What difference, if any did you notice with the ATS? Any difference in temps, spin up, power? Do you tow? If so, how much weight?

Unfortunately I didn't have the gauges before I installed the ATS manifold. I do tow quite a bit though. I tow a 37' car hauler with 2 Jeeps on it quite a bit. The pic below was just taking 2 YJ's up to Wisconsin to an off-road shop. Weight? Let's just say I have probably exceeded DCX's specifications by just a hair a time or two. :-laf I have to get on it pretty hard before I have any EGT problems though.



I should have painted the manifold before I installed it as well. But, when I pull it apart to get that nut in there, I will take care of that. For now I want to keep my warranty people at DCX happy. Once that is gone, I will start to play the HP game. For now, I am ditching the Grand Cherokees and plan to stuff my 360 drivetrain into a TJ with high pinion 9" axles. That will be enough tinkering for me for a while.

That's what they are there for, but you can really put it anywhere you want.



I see anywhere from 120* to 180*F difference between the front three and back three. I assume the difference in probes account for a little of that, but on average you should see about a 100* to 120* difference between the front and back. Cylinder 5 and 6 get toasty... . not so much #4.

I just installed my ATS this past Monday and have the pyro installed just above the turbo flange for measuring the back 3 cylinders. Compared to my previous stock manifold with the pyro at the same location (but only measuring #5, #6) I swear I am seeing about 100* hotter with the ATS. I did have to replace my pyro probe because I screwed it up trying to remove it from my stock manifold. The original pyro was all sooted up too, which could "insulate" it from the heat I guess???

I put mine in the supplied bung. When I add a monitor and box later, I'll drop it towards the back.
