On any other site or asking any DIESEL shop,performance or other wise and owning Cummins powered Dodges for 10 plus years NO ONE has ever recomended POST TURBO always PRE TURBO.Just my 02 worth.I want to KNOW combustion TEMPS.

 

Thank's crabman for your help, Going pre turbo with your help.

 

crabman do you have any pics of the pyro probe install? I'm going to put in a X-Monitor, pre turbo, and it seems there is not much room for a drill to get on the manifold to drill for the probe fitting. Thanks

LRod, here is a pic of my pyro probe installed.

I hope this helps.

 

I'm pre-turbo and I just let my EGTs get to 280 before shutdown if I've been working the engine hard. Works for me.

100 Proof

 

I'm now running Pre & Post Turbo, as far as EGT temps if you let the Pre-Turbo cool down to 300-350 it will be at the just about the same temp as the Post Turbo. I use my Post Turbo X-monitor EGT temp as my cool down temp. I don't shutdown until it reaches 300. The reason for waiting for the Pre-Turbo was the SIx Gun w/Speedloader install.

 

Absolutely EXCELLENT RankRam

That is exactly what I was looking for. Did you have any problem getting a drill into that location and is the reading good?
Thanks for the pic.

I just PM'd ya!

 

The drill will fit....I used a short bit and a 14.4 volt Makita with no problems!

 

I tried to get a drill in that space and could. So everything looks good. I'll be ordering the X-Monitor I think. Looked at the Di-pricol gauges and they look pretty good too.
But I think the X-Monitor will give a faster response.
Thanks.

LRod I think you will be very happy with the X-Monitor!

 

I've now got pics posted of both Pyros installed. I had a shop blow a hole in the exhaust and install the bung for the X-Monitor probe. The Banks probe was installed by a BANKS Dealer to ensure to maintain warranty

 

Nice pics SuperGewl. Good night shots of the unit in action. Gives one a real perspective of what the X-Monitor will look like at night. I understand you can pick from 4 brightness settings also. You and RankRam really helped me see exactly what I'll be doing to get the pyro installed. Who knows how many others you have helped with these pictures. Keep up the good work.
