The previous statement was accurate. There is an EGT sensor on the passenger side up pipe, which is pre-turbo.
There is also an EGT sensor on the pipe that feeds from the exhaust to the lower EGR cooler. There's a 1/4" stainless steel tube with flare fittings on each end that comes straight up from that pipe, and the EGT sensor is on top of it. This sensor is the only post-turbo sensor left on my truck after I put a straight pipe on with my Mini Maxx. I still have the pre-turbo sensor, but it's not very useful.
There are 3 other temperature sensors in the stock exhaust, which may or may not be needed depending on which tuner you plan on using. The sensors are located pre-cat, between the cat and DPF, and after the DPF. The Mini Maxx doesn't use any of them, but some other tuners do. If your tuner needs these additional sensors, you need an exhaust pipe with bungs, in order to install the sensors. If your tuner doesn't need the sensors then you don't need the bungs. The manual for the tuner should tell you whether or not you need these sensors.
That info is correct. The EGT sensor for the monitoring is in the up pipe on the passenger side from manifold to turbo. All the other sensors that are in the exhaust will be removed when you do a DPF delete. You will not even be close to the one that is needed for the monitor.
i have h and s what im asking is the sensor in the up pipe accuret enought to protect my truck or should i add one and what temp should i never go above
The egt sensor I the passenger side up pipe maxs at 1620*. It's accurate as well. The sensor in the egr pipe is a exhaust back pressure sensor and it is important. It monitors the pressure driving the turbos. Someone posted above me saying it was an egt sensor but it is not. Enjoy
As far as I know over 1,000 is getting dangerous and over 1,200 is getting close to the max. With mine it's rare for me to see anything over 600 for any length of time.
Also, in my previous post I was getting my EBP and EGT sensors confused. Sorry about that. But the general principle is the same, you don't need all those sensors in the exhaust with an H&S tuner, it won't affected by a DPF delete or a new downpipe.
How do you come up with your numbers? Alluminum Doesent get soft till 1250 and you can go well over that and not have a problem. My truck runs 600+ cruising on the freeway..
:whs: you set it at 1000 you will de fuel every time you get on it. don't have all my mods yet but i will hit 1300 and defuel at wot easy. Towing on a decent grade driving nice i hit 850 to 900 once in a while. Normally unloaded i never see more than about 680 though. I have heard, some one will correct me if i am wrong but during regen they run 1100 or so so im sure it can handle 1300 pretty well for short periods of time.
I have my Spartan on my stock truck as a set of gauges while I wait to relicense it. During regen I see temps over 1200* sometimes. These motors were built to take some heat.
Sustained ppl. If your gonna hold egts of 1400* for a long time while towing and when your deleted you'll melt parts. I've maxed the sensor out on multiple occasions. It's towing long grades with high egts that does the damage
im working on intake ... I have my hot damn 300 loaded not happy with throttle response low fuel setting on 5 if i lower it will it help and also cold side tube or take elbow help??
Low boost fueling should be around 2-3. Too much low boost fueling hurts spool up. It may be 1760* the sensor maxs at, been so long since I really cared to watch the egts.
If you have your low boost fueling set on 5 and you floor it, it will overfuel the turbos. It has been dyno proven better numbers with lower boost fueling, I know a lot of people run 0-2, the lower the number the cleaner it runs also
Has to be, especially when he said that about 600* lol
