(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I hope the hardcore get into this--but being an aviation enthusiast, there are cylinder head and exhaust temp gauges made for the moitoring of each individual cyl in one gauge.
The choices run the gamut--but the best lookin ones are the analog ones. In one gauge face there are four identicle gauges for either head temp or exhaust temp. For the heads, a special thermocouple was developed that actually take the place of the sparkplug washer, therefore reads the temp directly from the sparkplug, ( arguable the hottest point) these are precision instruments that are certified for flight, and man do they look cool!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) A good thing is they thread onto the sparkplug threads, so when done carefully, u-can easily replace plugs w/o fumbling for the thermocouple. The exhaust ones look identicle as far as gauges go to the head temp , they just require a bung welded to each pipe and the traditional thermocouple inserted into the exhaust stream. Best of all you can get these for less than a couple hundred bucks. look at the following websites" www.aircraftspruce.com www.wicksaircraft.com Not to mention these are sick-ass looking when installed in your ride...

here's my rig,
first pic shows gauges at center of dash. second 2 pics you can see the lead from the spark plug thermocouple. Last pic shows bungs on stub pipes. I monitor only 1 CHT per head and 1 EGT per head. Enough to look at when your on the back straight. You can just add a selector switch so you only need one CHT or EGT to monitor all 4. Attached thumbnail(s)

I love the westach gauges.
I have two quad CHTS on the dyno along with a singe quad EGT as well.. The 912E has a quad with 2X CHT and oil temp and oil pressure included as well... I'm now having a datalogger built for the dyno for future cooling system testing. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Nice set-up synth! I've got (sitting on the shelf patiently waiting for me to get off my dead ass and work on my car) one of the dual EGT/CHT and a Volt/Amp Westach gauges. I Got a absolutely killer deal on "10" EGT sensors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) , so 3 more CHT sensors and a 4-way switch and I'll be in biz. |

Switches are just fuel pump and ignition power, the weapons system is the Raby motor behind my back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) The safety covers make it easier to shut the power down in an instant if the need should arise. Going to add a third switch for the starter so I can get rid of the steering column switch. |
