!Before installation, confirm that:
This product is for competition or off-road use only; professional installation is required as it involves manifold drilling. The user assumes all risks for any engine damage, loss of warranty, or legal consequences resulting from the installation or misuse of this product.
This is the installation process for the ER-0333: SCT Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Kit 9817,provided for your reference during installation.
Step 1:
Locate the exhaust manifold on the driver's side of the vehicle. The specific location on the manifold requiring drilling and tapping is situated at the rear of the manifold, near the vehicle's driveshaft.
Step 2:
Apply a generous amount of grease to the drill bit and tap; this helps collect any metal shavings or debris generated during drilling and tapping. Drill a 5/16”hole in the manifold.
Step 3:
After drilling, be sure to use a small magnet to remove all metal shavings, ensuring they are completely removed before installing the thermocouple.
Step 4:
Tap using a 1/8” NPT thread tap (available at any hardware store). Be sure to follow the instructions provided with the tap. Because the tap is tapered, only tap slightly deeper than the inner wall of the manifold. Be careful when drilling and tapping to avoid over-tapping, as the thermocouple connector needs to be screwed in to a specific depth.
Step 5:
Once drilling and tapping are complete, inspect the interior of the manifold for any metal shavings. If any shavings or contaminants are present, remove them before inserting the thermocouple. When installing the fitting, thread the tapered end into the manifold. The tip of the fitting should sit flush with the inner wall of the exhaust passage, but should not protrude too deeply. Use a small wrench or socket to tighten the fitting, taking care not to overtighten it. Insert the probe into the fitting, positioning its tip in the center of the exhaust passage. Tighten the nut at the top of the fitting until the thermocouple is securely held in place.
Step 6:
Route the exhaust temperature sensor wiring harness through the vehicle's firewall. Once the harness has passed through the firewall, secure it in place and use aluminum foil tape or a similar material to seal the access hole.
Step 7:
Plug the EGT sensor cable—which features a two-pin connector—into the amplifier box. Then, connect the amplifier box's FireWire cable to the analog input port on your monitoring device.
Step 8:
Locate a suitable mounting position for the exhaust temperature amplifier box. Ensure that it is situated away from any heat sources or areas subject to severe vibration. Securely mount the amplifier box inside the vehicle; you can then proceed to configure the settings on your monitoring device. Please refer to your monitoring device's instruction manual for specific configuration procedures.
