EGT Gauge Readings

Absolutely normal. Where'd you end up putting your thermocouple?

As you look at the exhaust manifold from the right fender, it points down at the turbo. I imagined that portion pointing down as having the divider down the middle, so went 1/2 way to the left (rear) of that divider, and about

I'm going to order that Banjo bolt from Geno's today, and hopefully it will get here by Friday as I'm leaving for my AK trip on Saturday for 6 weeks. In the other thread, you said to put this on the supply line to the CP3 pump, so that is where it will go.

Thank you for the assistance you have provided.

Good - then you're reading the hotter of the cylinders. (#5 and #6 usually run the hottest)

Yep. When looking from the left (driver's) fender, you want the top-left-most banjo bolt - the line that comes in from the right, loops around the top of the pump, and bolts down. It's the line that comes from the bottom of the fuel filter canister.

Your readings are normal. If you are installing a fuel pressure guage, I recommend an isolator so fuel does not enter the passenger compartment. They are inexpensive and easy to install . Their use eliminates a significant fire hazard. Steve

Thanks Steve,

I have the gauge, isolater and am now awaiting a special Banjo bolt.

I just went out to take a look, and it seems to be the most convienient location. I called Jeno's this morning and they are going to rush the part out (3 day) so it should be here Thursday and I'll install it that evening when I get home. Cutting it close here.

He suggested I go to Napa and pick up a Grease Gun Hose for the connection between the Banjo Bolt and the isolator. He said Jeno's will have that part in just over a week, but hell, in just over a week I'll be somewhere in BC on the way to the Yukon and Alaska with my 5th Wheel.

You could do that - it's just a rubber hose with 1/8"-NPT fittings on each end. If you look at the picture of my isolator, I just used a brass 1/8"NPT to 1/8" compression fitting on each end (pump side and isolator), and ran a length of 1/8" plastic tubing (should have come with the gauge). This way, you're not limited to the length of the grease gun hose.

You know, I was going to use the excess that came with the gauge, but although it said it could be used with oil, to not use it for fuel. The Geno guy said the same, but the HO's fuel is more like a light oil than a gasoline. I just want it to work forever and never leave me stranded (sounds like my wife).

I've been using it for well over a year... not a problem.

It won't ever leave you stranded. Heck, if you want, carry an 1/8" pipe plug with you. If anything ever happens with the fuel isolator/gauge, just remove the line from the tapped banjo, and plug it with the pipe plug.

Good enough for me, Tom, thanks.
