DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- When running performance tunes or hauling heavy loads with diesel or turbocharged gas trucks, monitoring Exhaust Gas Temperatures is critical to prevent severe engine damage, piston scuffing, and turbocharger failure.
- The SCT EGT Sensor Kit is a high-precision pyrometer kit designed as a direct plug-and-play replacement for the SCT 9817 / 9800. It connects directly to the analog firewire port of popular SCT tuners, outputting real-time, accurate exhaust temperature readings right on your device's digital monitor.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Braided Shielding: Stainless steel braided wire loom protects the thermocouple line from engine bay heat, abrasion, and harsh environmental exposure.
- Direct Plug-and-Play Integration: Plugs directly into the analog/firewire port on your SCT tuner—no external gauges, custom wiring cuts, or additional control boxes required on your dash.
- High-Precision K-Type Thermocouple: Fast-response probe accurately reads extreme exhaust gas temperatures.
- Engine Safety Protection: Provides real-time EGT monitoring on your SCT screen to alert you before dangerous exhaust heat damages turbochargers, pistons, or exhaust valves during heavy towing.
FAQ
Q: Is this kit a direct replacement for the official SCT 9817 EGT kit?
A: Yes. It uses the exact same signal calibration curve and analog connection interface as the official SCT 9817 / 9800 pyrometer kit.
Q: Why is tracking EGTs important on a tuned diesel truck?
A: Performance tunes inject additional fuel to build extra boost. Under heavy acceleration or steep towing, exhaust temperatures can quickly spike past 1,350°F–1,400°F. Monitoring EGTs lets you back off the throttle before overheating damages pistons or turbo bearings.
Q: Do I need a custom tune file to view EGT data on my SCT tuner?
A: No. You simply select the analog input port (Analog 1/2) in your SCT device's native gauge display settings and assign the pre-programmed "SCT EGT" equation.
Q: Is the included probe fitting standard size?
A: Yes, it features a industry-standard 1/8"-27 NPT thread, making it a drop-in match for pre-tapped aftermarket manifolds or newly drilled factory manifolds.
