Speedhut 2-1/16" 100-1100C EGT Temp Gauge (L2-ET4-LEG)

The Speedhut 2-1/16" 100-1100C EGT Temp Gauge (L2-ET4-LEG) is a reliable instrument designed to accurately monitor the exhaust gas temperature of your engine. This crucial measurement allows you to ensure optimal engine performance and prevent potential damage caused by overheating. With its classic design and precise functionality, this gauge is a valuable addition to any vehicle or system where exhaust gas temperature monitoring is essential.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Accurate Temperature Monitoring: Provides precise readings of exhaust gas temperature within the range of 100 to 1100 degrees Celsius.
• Durable Sensor: Includes a robust K-type thermocouple probe with a 9-foot long braided steel line for reliable temperature sensing in demanding environments.
• Easy Installation: The 2-1/16 inch (52mm) size and included mounting ring ensure a straightforward installation into standard dash openings.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Temperature Gauge
• Gauge Subtype: Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Gauge
• Temperature Range: 100 - 1100 degrees Celsius
• Sensor Type: K Type Thermocouple Temp Probe
• Gauge Size: 2-1/16 inch (52mm)
• Mounting Hole Size: 2.062 inches (52mm)
• Included: EGT/Ultra Low Type K Probe (9 feet long with braided steel line), 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness for LED Lit Gauges and Clocks

HOW TO USE:

• Mount the Gauge: Locate a suitable 2-1/16 inch (52mm) opening in your dashboard or mounting panel. Insert the gauge into the opening and secure it using the included mounting ring from the back.
• Install the EGT Probe: Choose a location in your exhaust system, typically before the turbocharger or catalytic converter, for the most accurate readings. Drill a hole of the appropriate size and install the K-type thermocouple probe securely. Ensure the probe tip is positioned correctly within the exhaust stream.
• Connect the Wiring:
  • Connect the power wire (typically red) from the gauge's harness to a switched 12V power source in your vehicle's electrical system.
  • Connect the ground wire (typically black) to a reliable grounding point on your vehicle's chassis.
  • Connect the lighting wire (often orange or a similar color) to your vehicle's headlight or instrument panel lighting circuit if you desire the gauge to illuminate with your lights.
• Connect the Probe: Connect the wires from the K-type thermocouple probe to the corresponding terminals on the back of the gauge. Ensure correct polarity if specified in the gauge's instructions.
• Test the Gauge: Once all connections are made, start your vehicle and observe the gauge readings. The temperature should rise as the engine warms up. Verify that the gauge responds appropriately to changes in engine load.

BENEFITS OF USING THE SPEEDHUT 2-1/16" 100-1100C EGT TEMP GAUGE (L2-ET4-LEG):

• Prevent Overheating: High EGTs can indicate an overly lean fuel mixture, excessive boost, or other issues that can lead to engine damage such as piston failure or melted valves. The gauge allows you to identify these problems early and take corrective action.
• Optimize Fuel Efficiency: Monitoring EGT can help you fine-tune your engine for optimal fuel combustion, leading to improved fuel economy.
• Maximize Engine Performance: By keeping EGTs within the ideal range, you can ensure your engine is operating at its peak performance without risking damage.
• Diagnose Engine Problems: Unusual EGT readings can be an indicator of various engine problems, such as exhaust leaks, catalytic converter issues, or injector malfunctions, allowing for quicker diagnosis and repair.
• Ensure Longevity: By proactively monitoring and managing exhaust gas temperatures, you can contribute to the overall longevity and reliability of your engine.

FEATURES:

• Complete Wiring Solution: Comes with a 3-foot power and lighting harness, simplifying the electrical connections for LED illumination.
• Classic Aesthetic: The "Classic" design offers a timeless look that complements a variety of interior styles.
