• What EGT probe and gauge are we using? by fatmobile on 06 Feb, 2020 21:56
•  I used to get my EGT probes and gauges from aircraft spruce.
   A westach gauge that went as low as 100F.
   Now they only have one that goes down to 700F.
   My old part numbers don't work there any more,.. I haven't called them yet.
  
   So I'm wondering what others are using for EGT gauges and probes.
   I liked the fast reacting skinny probes. K type thermocouples.
   I see some on ebay like that.
   Has anyone tried them?

• You can still get the 2C2-1 directly from Westach fairly reasonably.  http://www.westach.com/   ...and search for 2C2-1.  I haven't ordered directly from them before, though, so I can't speak to the experience.

•  Thanks Andrew,.. just need to figure out the probe that goes with it.

• The probe I've always used is the micro-1000 1/8" which is still available from aircraftspruce.  It is part # Part# 10-01478.

•  Oh, I see it. My part number was missing a 1.
  Kind of a spendy little probe. $76.25 before shipping.
   I'll have to see if I can get just the probe, instead of the kit.

   I don't need everything else in that picture.
   I got extra NPT/compression fittings last time.

• Just ordered a 2c2-1, EGT gauge from westach. For $66.90
   They didn't have it listed, but after I bought a 2C2-19, which is 2", 200F-1400F, and looks like it has a white face.
   they contacted me mentioning me ordering the 2C2-1 last time.
  https://www.westach.com/product-page/2c2-1
  The 2C2-1 is 2" gauge, 100F-1900F, with a black face. He's going to take a picture of mine after he makes it and post to the link.
   He added it to the list of EGTs today and changed my order for me.
  I suppose the 2C2-19 would be fine. I don't intend to go over 1200 so a gauge that goes to 1400F would work fine.

  And under 200F isn't used much, don't really need it to go down to 100F.
  Probably could get him to offer the 2C2-19 with a black face.
  He makes them by hand in Ramona California after you order so wait time is 4-5 weeks.

•  I got my gauges from westach.
   I ordered 2 of the 2C2-1 and wanted to try one of the 2C2-19.
  
   He sent me all 2C2-19 200F-1900F.
   Instead of the 2C2-1 200F-1400F that I ordered.
  
   When I ordered my senders from aircraft spruce,
  I also ordered some wire.
   It was multistrand instead of the nice single strand I got from Libby.
   
   I also ordered a couple 1/8" NPT fittings so they 
  https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pnpages/10-01473.php
   They sent just the fittings no ferrals or caps,.. unuseable.
  I have ordered these before and I got the whole useable fitting.
  
  I haven't gotten the senders yet.
  Wondering if when they send the senders,..
  are they going to come with incomplete fittings?

• I'm using a Dynoracing EGT gauge with probe from aliexpress. Works pretty well for the price.
