Egt sensor for mm3

[TH-64]

The problem with using the block off plate is that you may not get accurate temp readings from the front cylinders. It's best to drill and tap just above the turbo for peace of mind.

The block off plate would show hotter, no?

Not necessarily. The down pipe between the turbo and manifold is the best place. You can catch a hot cylinder that way

I always thought the #6 hole was the one that would get the hottest? What are the main causes of a 'hot' cylinder? I'm trying to learn all I can from you guys...

Thanks!

Where is the best place to mount the sensor. In the rear block off plate or tap a the manifold?

I have mine on the block off plate. Seems like the closer you have it to the engine block the more accurate it will be. I may be wrong on that

Honestly, the closer to the Turbo would be most accurate but you'd have to drill and tap for that...the rear block off plate will be a little bit off but it's better than not having a reading in my opinion.

I am likely ordering mine late spring, I was always told put it in the manifold just before the turbo

Whoever said the block off plate was the place to put it, has his head up his butt. That's Cumminsforum Logic which is about as far out there as you can get. Those guys are about as dumb rocks. If they are right, then every vehicle manufacturer in the world is putting them in the wrong place. What did the 5.9 guys do? Install block out plates where there was no place to put them? Get the block off plate out of your head. It's for lazy people. Every time I see this topic I flip out

That said, I will set the record straight once and for all

The EGT sensor needs to be in the collection area, just ahead of the turbo. End of story!

Thank you...I hate to say it, but the topic will arise again! Like you said, the collector will have the most accurate reading, just takes some guts to drill and tap it!

Thanks for your support

Yes it will and I'll blow a gasket again. LOL I have a real problem with the run off from cumminsforum. I was constantly accused of mis information.
