All, I have been looking at picking up a Quad Scout 2 for my truck. Mainly for the Smarty control, but also to let me see a couple more engine parameters than what I have on the gauges. If I already have an autometer thermocouple for the EGT gauge is there a way to split the signal so that the Scout 2 can also use it? If not would I have to sink a second thermocouple into the manifold in order to use the turbo cool down feature (EGT not just a timer)? Also, does anyone know from experience if the fuel pressure kit for the scout will work with the airdog fitting in my CP3 right now? Any info would help. Thanks!

Anybody have any ideas?

 

In regards to the EGT probe, the best way to find out is to try it. I've wondered the same thing about trans temp probes. Have some temp in the manifold, and check what the already working gauge is at. Touch the wires for the other gauge onto the connectors for the first gauge, and see what they read, If the first gauge doesn't change, you may be OK. If it jumps, it won't be accurate.

 

I would see no reason why not, as most thermocouples are just a two wire setup so long as you got the right wires to matchup I wouldn't see any problem with it. I would also see no reason the preasure kit wouldn't work on the AirDog.

If it doesn't work, get an aftermarket exhaust manifold that is pretapped for two thermo couples and rock it like that.

 

Give it a shot. I would imagine thermocouples are calibrated for a specific temperature range, but for what your wanting to use an egt thermocouple for, the temperature range shouldn't matter much.

 

Thanks for the replies. I might have to just give it a try. Worse case scenario I'm out a probe I guess...

 

Yes it will work and what fitting did you recieve with the monitor?

 

I have not purchased the monitor yet. Are you asking about the fuel pressure fitting? In the instructions on Quads site it appears to be a piggy back to the stock system. I was worried if the sensor was on the bolt that originally went into the banjo setup that it would not work due to the airdog fitting??

Per Quadzilla site installation pdf - "locate the injection pump which is located on the
driver’s side of the engine at the front of the block
about halfway down. remove the fitting that is
located on the top of the pump closest to the fan with
a 17mm wrench or socket. remove the banjo bolt
and dispose of the two factory banjo bolt washers.
attach the Transducer and the supplied tapped
banjo bolt fitting together. The Transducer uses 1/8”
npT tapered threads; you do not have to tighten
it to the end of the threads to prevent leaks. if the
fitting is overtightened it can strip the threads on the
Transducer. install one of the washers on the banjo
bolt. slide the banjo bolt through the fuel line and
slide the other washer over the threads of the banjo
bolt. screw the banjo fitting by hand until it is snug. We recommend bleeding the fuel line before tightening
the banjo fitting all the way up to allow any air in the lines to escape. To do this, you need to tighten the
banjo fitting by hand to where the fitting is still slightly loose then turn the ignition to the on position. This
will prime the pump and allow any air to escape. There will also be a small amount of fuel that will leak
out. once this has been done, tighten the banjo fitting down firmly. be sure that you do not over tighten
this fitting; over tightening can cause damage to the pump. This fitting between the banjo and the pump
just needs to be a snug fit. once the line has been bled and the fitting has been tightened, you will need to
connect the 3-pin connector from the fuel pressure harness to the Transducer and turn the ignition off. after
that connection has been made, you will need to route the other end of the harness through the firewall
into the cab and connect the two corresponding 4-pin connectors together. after everything has been
connected start the truck up and check for any leaks at the pump or the fittings. if there is a leak present
you will need to tighten the banjo fitting down just a slight bit then check again. if no leaks are present the
installation is complete.

 

Yea if its a tapped banjo bolt you will have to buy a inline style fitting to hook it up

 

Where can I get an inline fitting for the pushlocs that i have on the fuel system now?

 

cut and splice, heres pics of my setup and works flawlessly

Heres what I used

Also got the fuel filter delete kit from him as well
