Does anybody have a picture of a pyrometer install?

Are 6.7 liter manifolds divided?




I usually like to pull the turbo to make sure I get the probe positioned perfect, but I don't really want to pull the extra coolant lines... Call me lazy.

If I were to pull the coolant lines, is a flush in order?

 

Picture taken with a camera phone from my Edge manual If you can understand the poor quality here is where they reccomend the probe installs.

 

So, in the front section?

It is divided I take it?

 

The manifold IS NOT divided, there is no reason not to put the pyro probe directly in the middle of the manifold foot.

 

Heh, we threaded in a drilled-out 1/8" NPT stainless street tee into the backpressure sensor port, then stuck the thermocouple through one end and took the pressure signal out of the top.


No drilling required, except of the street tee.

 

do ya think your getting a good reading though??

 

If accurate reading is the interest; then,

The thermocouple has to be directly in the exhaust air flow, as close as you can get it to the exit ports, not too far down the line.

 

The probe was long enough to stick all the way through the T, into the manifold.

We drilled out the manifold-side of the T a little bit more than necessary to leave a gap between the fitting and the thermocouple; this allows plenty of air flow into the fitting and up into the drive pressure line.

You'd really want to put it in the manifold foot where all six cylinders come together, or maybe only on the last one or two cylinders if you want the hottest reading possible... But this method puts the probe into the stream and requires no drilling of the manifold.

 

do you have any pictures of what you have done . i really don't want to drill the manifold.

 

look on edge site.
