EGT and boost sensors?

Post by JoeyD »

My Sahara came with neither.
Did you install both/either??
Before(very accurate) or after(less accurate) the turbo?
Watching oil and water temperatures make me feel like I'm driving via the rear-view mirror.
On the flats, I'm not too worried, climbing the various passes has me sweating.

it's likely you don't have a way to ACCURATELY monitor your transmission temperature either.

Hi Mel
Happy Tuesday. I do have a transmission oil temperature gage. It looks to be a factory install, as it has the "Safari" logo on face.
I'm still digging through various vendors to see who offers a signal mux or an electronic hub will send both the EGT and boost signals the +35' over the longer than standard pickup/truck wiring hardness.

it's likely that the factory installed transmission oil temperature gauge does not ACCURATELY report your transmission temperature.

Hi Mel
You're correct, it's off by a few degrees. I've not probed it, only checked with a tic(Flir) and thermo(Raytek), stopped, walk outside, tag the crankcase/block
, valve body/block, universals, tires, wet hubs.
Instrumentation(accuracy) is lacking.
I very much appreciate any guidance.
Stay safe
