Default What type K thermocouple for EGT measurement?

Hoping to fit one of these into my downpipe when the weather gets a bit better and plub it into my techedge logger. Anyone suggest a good source?, I would like to get one from RS Components if poss as we have an account with them at work!

Cheers,

Stu

P.S. Also, what is the approx difference in temp between the exhaust port itself and in the downpipe just after the turbo (will obviously need to add this to the figure I would read).

High Stu I have a k type set in mine, his a couple of RS part numbers that I have used to in stall the thermocouple before the turbo in the manifold casting

158-610 Probe installation fitting

219-4387 industrial mineral insulated K type

I will post a photo when I can find one of mine

Temp's you will see will be as high as 8-900 c ore about 100 c lower on the down pipe side of the turbo

Hope his helps

Cheers

Steve
