price includes.

1. MGL Avionics TC-2 Thermocouple Temperature Display
2. 4pcs CHT sensor for 14mm plug, type K, 10 foot ea

We need at least 10 complete kits to make this happen. I will check the thread on Monday and if we are GO, I will shoot out pm's with shipping to each party interested. I will then ship each unit myself. The manufacture said it will take 2 - 3 weeks to ship out. I have no expierence with this gauge, and if you guys need to see it in action, Cant help you. I will be purchasing one for myself

I'm in and thanks for doing it. I think this will be a good set-up.

Will it show temp in F as well or just C?

YES

In for 1.

in for one

I'm in.

These use the ring terminal thermocouples under the spark plugs, yeah? Is 10 feet enough? The one I will replace is a 14 foot cable and it is TIGHT getting it to the cable to the gauge in the A piller. I don't think I could route it with only 10 feet of cable.

This baby aint goin in the A pillar...

this gauge is 3 1/8 inch

yes it goes under each spark plug



yes 10ft is plenty

Wow, cool!

I'm in with shipping to 90240

Great job Joseph, I almost guest the price. 5.00 dollars off isn't to bad.

Now, I have to find a creative way to mount the gauge.

I'll take one.

Bump, need three more. There was a lot more interest on the original thread, come on guys. This is a bangin deal

Ummm... What's the difference between this and the one on aircraft spruce?

Is this only good for 4 cyl guys or can 6 cyl guys benefit from this?

The TC-2 is a one to four channel instrument.
Check the Aircraft Spruce website to see if MGL makes one for 6 channels.

Package deal assembled by Joe with 10' Type K TCs from a different source.

I know the make a 6 version I've used them on a TSIO-540. It's the TC3

This would be really cool but then it would ruin my image of being the guy who just jumps in and drives the out of my cars without worrying about all that stuff. Kind of takes the fun out of it for me. Well, that and the fact I'm flat broke.

You could also use the same gauge for Exhaust Gas temps.

IMO even more important that Head Temps....

One head temp is good enough, but for carbed cars, EGT can tell you if you have just one jet clogged.

I am in for one, need to update the westach unit on the engine dyno. How about 12mm senders? We don't use 14mm plugs here.

Are we at 10 yet?

I believe we need two more.

So, where is Michael7810 and Rand? Are you guys not interested anymore?

I talked to Mary Shortridge this morning, she may be interested. She is going to check it out.

just a heads up, dakota digital sells 18 foot 14mm type k tc's for $26.00

if someone had a line on 14mm ring terminals, the tc's are super simple to make.

i'll price the type k wire at work tomorrow. i bet i could make them for 5 bucks a piece.

and since cold junction isnt an issue, we could put nice little quick disconnects close to the ring termimal. for easier engine removal. thats how i have mine set up.

checked one price. a 200 ft real of type k is 134.00. of course, the bigger the real the price goes down. i could probley fab 100 tc's in an hour...

A 14mm ring terminal is nothing more than a 1/2" cad plated copper electrical ring terminal with the hole drilled out. A 12mm ring terminal is really a 1/2" ring.

I used to make TCs for the Space sim lab at Lockheed Martin.

To do it right you need to twist the ends and spot weld them with a tiny bench-top welder.
Then we would put the tip in an oven and heat them to ~200C and then dip them in Liquid Nitrogen (-180C), then right back in the oven. If they survived that, they were good to go.

That type would be acceptable for clamping directly under a spark plug once or twice.
I wouldnt trust that much more than that unless you had a "washer" type protective sheath.

If you wanted to make them for EGTs, then they would need a threaded "probe".

23.00$ for 100 pack

ya, i didnt use that process when i made mine. i used the ol strip and crimp method. might not be good enough for the space shuttle, but it worked perfectly on my 914.

so far i see......

Thanks for the offer, but I really like the company I have already chosen. They have an excellent reputation. If anybody would like to back out of the group buy and purchase the guage direct and sensors from mrbubblehead, just send me a pm and I will remove you from the list.

somewhat interested but where would you mount the thing? anyone have any pix of an idea about where to put it? thx td

Joe,
I'll go in for one of these sensor kits. that gets you closer to 10 !
PM me when to send moola.

I was thinking about modifying the dash and mounting it where my heater controls are.

I am going to install a center console and replace the clock.

ONLY NEED 1 MORE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN TODAY !!!

I did a quick photochop of where I am going to put it.

Can we give it till Wednesday? It would better for my finances if we paid up on Wednesday?

I am not the one to make that decision lol, I cannot purchase the 10 units until I get 10 people committed, and paid for But since you brought it up, I will send out the PM's today for all those on the list.

As soon as I receive payment from everyone, I will place the order

btw:

WE STILL NEED 1 MORE

I think this gauge is too big for where I plan to put gauges in BC, but I'll do some double cking.

Mary, you dont need this.

Yes you do Mary

Pm's sent to all those interested. Please send payment ASAP.

Group buy closes tommorow, I talked with the vendor and they are willing to do me the same price on 9 if I cant get anyone eles.



I am excited to get this thing rolling
