Universal Pyrometer (EGT Sensor) & Docking Station


The Universal Pyrometer - EGT Sensor Docking Station is a great, and easy way for you to check on the well-being of your vehicle. This accessory is custom-made for the Mini Maxx V2 Delete Tuner & also works on the H&S Mini Maxx V1. It makes it easy to install aftermarket automotive sensors onto a vehicle and then display those sensor values on your Tuner.

What is a Pyrometer?

A pyrometer gauge, also known as an exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gauge, is an essential instrument for monitoring the temperature of exhaust gases in vehicles, particularly in turbocharged diesel engines. It employs an EGT probe, typically situated near the cylinder head in the exhaust manifold, to measure the temperature of exhaust gases expelled during the engine's exhaust stroke. This temperature is then displayed on the gauge.

In diesel engines, and especially in those with turbochargers, a pyrometer gauge plays a critical role. Temperatures exceeding 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit can lead to significant engine damage. The early detection of sudden temperature shifts, facilitated by the pyrometer gauge, is key to preventing such damage.

Benefits of Installing a Pyrometer

  1. Real-Time Engine Monitoring: It keeps you informed about the engine's state, allowing for early detection of issues like engine overload or air intake problems, which can cause severe damage if unaddressed.

  2. Identifying Air/Fuel Imbalances: Since high exhaust temperatures can indicate an imbalance in the air/fuel ratio, a pyrometer gauge helps in diagnosing issues affecting vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.

  3. Enhancing Turbocharger Longevity: Regularly cooling down the turbocharger before shutting off the engine can significantly extend its lifespan. The pyrometer gauge aids in this process by displaying the turbocharger's temperature, allowing you to cool it to a safe level (around 300 degrees Fahrenheit) before turning off the engine.

In conclusion, a pyrometer gauge is not just an accessory but a vital tool for maintaining the health and efficiency of turbocharged diesel engines, ultimately contributing to their longevity and optimal performance.
