Hi

Im buying an exhaust gas temp gauge soon before i get the car setup for anti lag.. at what temp on the gauge should i turn off anti lag without damaging anything?


which side of the manifold should the exhaust sensor bung be welded to?

Any help would be great

Anyone know?

I would put EGT probe after turbo but as close too exhaust housing as poss.(that way if tip falls opff it won,t go thru turbo).

Max temp depends on turbo, but we usually aim to keep below 875 C.Have run a VF34 at 900C but turbo performance then starts to suffer. I can safely say that at 1100C the back of the turbo falls off!!

I bought a td05-20g but waiting for a few more parts to arrive. turbo is not fitted yet. Would anti lag put stress on turbo etc even if i turned it off at a safe enough temp?

Do you mean fit the sensor near the top of decat downpipe?

steve rally

If you turn off at "safe temp" then turbo life should not be compromised. Yes; fit sensor at top of down pipe. What ECU are you running?

a Simtek ecu

Good choice!! If you want the ALS setting up just let me know..

Its a good choice alright thanks for the help

I presumed that the sensor should be fitted on the manifold because its the hottest part compared to the rest of exhaust setup?

I will fit it to the downpipe

Yes; it would read hotter in the up pipe but as long as you know the "offset" then it is safer in the down pipe; we always run them there on the rally cars.

Could you tell me what offset position it should be fitted on the downpipe? I dont know?

steve rally

By offset I meant the temperature difference between the two positions - sorry - didn't make that clear! Just mount on top of the downpipe just say 50mm away from back of turbo.
