I came across a BD X-monitor for REAL cheap and couldnt sell it for a profit like I had hoped, so Im gonna install it on the Dodge for some extra readings. The boost Im gonna pick up at the turbo outlet, and for the pyrometer, I want to take the reading in the number 6 cylinder exhaust port to get a reading of the hottest. Can I go straight into that port towards the engine?

Sure, no reason you can't put it in that way.

#1 usually has hotter EGT due to the lousy intake port, though. #5 and #6 score first because of poor coolant flow, not higher than average EGT.

Okay thanks. Guess I was wrongly educated by Diesel Power Magazine, if you can imagine that .

somethings in the mg arent always right they show a vp44 motor with a cp3 over it, and a exhaust cut out for a 6.7 but it doesnt exist.

Ya I know, thats why the wink. Diesel Power is where I read about one guy with a 92 engine swapped into an old chevy, and for power adder he had a bully dog fueling box on it. Im sure he meant fuel pin, but you know...

When my truck got its pic in Diesel World apparently it got a 4 foot downpipe and a 5 foot exhaust. lol It wasnt the " or ' symbol it was even spelled out.

They even cut out my club shout out. lol

I thought diesel guys might have caught that typo.

Actually I did. I was impressed. Must have taken QUITE a big body lift to clear the 4 foot downpipe lol.

NYCEGUY01

No body lift. Just had to ditch the passenger seat.

Oh i see. what size turbo has a four foot down pipe exactly? Would that be the hx480 series?

s-4000 with a 740mm wheel

With some 6x2.400" injectors to spool it I imagine. Guess I need to refigure my future plans.
