seemingly endless issues with my 914 Group: Members Posts: 218 Joined: 13-February 07 From: Chicagoland Member No.: 7,532 Region Association: None |
I have some new 914 2.0 repro heads from DRD. The new heads use a 12mm spark plug rather than the stock 14mm. I want to use a ring terminal type Cylinder Head Temperature Sender under the #3 spark plug just as I did on my stock heads. The problem is the outside diameter of the ring terminal of my 12mm CHT sender is larger than the bore of the spark plug hole so I can't put the sender under the #3 plug as designed. As many of you probably do, I had the 14mm ring terminal sender on my stock heads and that took a lot of manipulating of the terminal stem to get it to fit. This is way worse, the OD of the 12mm ring will not even fit into the plug bore.
I asked Darren at DRD what to do and he suggested to use the fuel injection CHT location out on a fin by the intake manifold. I don't like that idea because it seems too far away from the chambers to pick up any major temp fluctuations. I'm considering changing to an 8mm ring terminal on the sender and double nutting it onto one of the #3 exhaust studs. Anyone have a better location? |
