When engineers were testing the 250,000hp nuclear scramjet engine for Project Pluto, there was no temperature sensor known that could measure the exhaust temperature, instead during testing of the full size engine, they designed a calibrated optical system to gauge the temperature, to determine how well the internals of the engine reacted to full power for 20 minutes. Pluto was an armored cruise missile, the size of a locomotive that flew at Mach 3.5, at tree top height, and its shock wave would have killed people on the ground.

@@justarandomguy3969 if you think that the O2 sensors are only for environmental reasons , it's pretty clear that you don't know anything about the stoichiometric ratio of fuels , and the advantages/disadvantages of running an engine too rich / too lean . Pretty sure that you should look into it .
@@bogdy2p i never said it was the only reason, but it is THE reason it was invented/put into cars. Its also the reason all modern cars have 2-3 of them instead of 1
Hello from Finland! You wanted to know what happened to your test engine? I am going to guess that you unplugged number 2 cylinder coilpack was unplugged and im basing my guess on that because your number 2 cylinder exhaust gas temp went down right away amd your short term fuel trim is trying to reduce the ammount of fuel.
The fact that you removed something do result in a temp drop on cylinder 2 means its likely the coil plug. But if you had not known the action that caused it, you could also think it was running rich. You could confirm this with the wideband as you have 2.
Good video, it looks like scott reached over to unplug the coil pack hence the drop in cylinder 2 egt. The wb barely ran leaner though, is this because the engine was at low load. Would it be much more obvious at higher engine loads?
Unburnt fuel can displace oxygen in the exhaust and show a rich condition or a large volume of oxygen with no fuel can show a lean condition, depends on your misfire condition, you need to look at the total picture, not just what the 02 sensor is doing, to determine what is occuring.
Video suggestion - Biggest dyno fails the Haltech team has ever seen. Thought of this while rewatching the G6E tuning series, when Scotty mentioned the idea of turning up to the dyno with flywheels / driveshafts / CVs improperly attached. There's gotta be a few good stories there
Anybody have any opinions on longevity of EGT probes pre-turbine? Is it worth the expense of getting a inconel sheath? Still suggest running a open probe? I am considering getting open tips to verify the tune is healthy, then either removing them entirely or swapping to closed tips to watch for radical changes.
Is there a setting you can put in to detect sudden drop on one cylinder, so if the variance between all 6 is too far it will put the engine into protection mode, rather than only having a min or max value for engine protection.
Dude I work in a factory and these thermo couples are all over the place rarely do they give issues its usualy they get broken or wiring chafed thru so I can attest to the durability of these
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) pre-catalyst Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) post-catalyst How do they calculate the temperature? Because one calculates very quickly and the other calculates much more slowly. And lags behind. Volvo xc 60 2.0 disiel D4 engine
Hey mate my diesel egt's both read 80 degrees celcius when engine is cold, they do rise when engine is running. Im having issues with car . Is that normal?
@@haltech I would have expected a dead cylinder with fuel to drop temp a lot faster, guess there just isn't much flow to cool the sensor at such a low throttle opening?
Question @Haltech; @16:27 in the example you give where you can turn off that cylinder #2 if the EGT goes above the set limit. Instead of turning off that cylinder can you in the ECU have the Fuel injector send additional fuel for added cooling of that particular cylinder??? & would this be more beneficial? I can theoretically see the benefit in this but just curious What went wrong? @20:47 The EGT 2 shows it's a lot cooler than the other cylinders and thus I'm going to say It got more fuel as a result of no spark which resulted in the cooler readings & the engine mist or poor running condition... ?
Why not just have O2 sensors on each exhaust bank instead of EGT's? Is it because of the limited temperature range of oxygen sensors compared to the k-type temperature sensors?
i can say the 4 egt's i got on my sti is great. When i 2step my motor at high psi it has saved me and thrown limp mode at track. 920 degrees 2 cylinder's shutdown u pulled a injector . my egts are in by eye and under no load are 20 dregrees out, but under full load WOT there within 10degrees. that at the track
I already have a TCA8 with my Elite 1500 for my 4 cyl egt's. If I get a thermocouple for oil temp. I know you can set it up to log it as oil temp. Can you set it up also for engine protection?
On your software and hardware is it possible to run 4 o2 sensors and 4 egt sensors? I don't want my built f20b engine to blow up due to lean condition in cylinder #2 or #3. I want to control all 4 injectors plus also have vtec engaging

Thankyou for helping me see them as useful and not just engineered problems.
They are a tuning tool like a knock sensors and O2 sensors. They help optimize tuning per cylinder if you delve into it that far.
O2 sensors are there to make sure the cat is working aka its for environmental reasons

Cool video, was contemplating egt on my 7, will wait until the next time I have to pull the manifold, and yeah you unplugged the coil pack
Cyl 2 lost ignition, fuel or spark based. Damn Scotty, now I cant get an engine done without per cyl egt monitoring.

@@haltech Cheers :) Keep up the good work!!
mmmm the purity of instrumentation. No lies, just data.
No ignition cylinder # 2. Also notice the wideband was disconnected and connected back on.
Unplug the ignition coil on the cyl 2, love ur videos Scotty!
You unplugged cylinder #2 coil pack temperature dropped due to no spark to ignite the air and fuel so that cylinder starts to lose temperature
I believe you unplugged the coil pack of plug lead on CL.2
you sure know your egt's well done
What are your thoughts on using egt sensors on 2 stroke engines? Specifically a 1975 kawasaki h1 500 triple.
I need something like this at the moment to find the gremlin I have running around my engine
Why is there a difference in position between NA and boosted applications?

You took out the 2 Egt sensor. Anyway, I don't think the T-shirt is available anymore. :)
Can the EGT Controller also work with other tempsensors? For example with a bosch Kombisensor?
Cylinder 2 injector disconnect?
Is there a setting you can put in to detect sudden drop on one cylinder, so if the variance between all 6 is too far it will put the engine into protection mode, rather than only having a min or max value for engine protection.

Reconnected the O2 sensor taking the a/f ratio off the egt’s and putting them back on oxygen sensors or closed loop
coil on cylinder 2. The temps was going down. Let me think that fuel was getting out and cooling the sensor
Are the T-shirts all given away yet. I know the answer. Whats wrong is that the engine in not a LS V8.
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) pre-catalyst
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) post-catalyst
How do they calculate the temperature? Because
one calculates very quickly and the other calculates
much more slowly. And lags behind.

Speaking about egt connectors, if you hate money you can get size 20 pins to suit deutsch or similar connectors. They're like $20 bucks a pin tho.
Unplugged the coil pack on cylinder 2?
Looks like the injector was unplugged on whichever cylinder number 2 thermocouple was connected to.
Can they be mounted on the underside of the runner, or do they need to be on the top?
Can you guys do a video on open loop vs closed loop and how these interact on a stock engine? And vs how they operate on a tuned engine?
why is there a difference in performance of the depth of insertion of the EGT tip. what changes between naturally aspirated and turbo charged.
How many k's would you usually get out of them?
