Turbocharger Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think Merlin Motorsport do them, but it was just as easy to import a kit from Thermoman in Australia (although there's considerable damping in the one I have, I still have concerns that I don't see the biggest 'peaks' in temperature because of the slow response time). The unit is awkward to mount in a Defender dash but very easy to read at a glance with large, clear numbers. Tony Cordell has the same gauge unit as me but fitted a smaller thermocouple to it - he said this improved the response but I think the crux of the problem is with the internal damping in the gauge unit itself. Will Warne has a very "fast" unit which ought to show all transients, and neat in a 52mm round 'clock' although the gauge itself is digital and quite hard to read with small digits.

white90 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Demon Tweeks sell very pricey ones the Thermogaurd is a good unit a 3mm TC is a good alternate to the 6mm I have some company contacts for the T/Cs at reasonable prices if you can source a display or gauge.

Tonk Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 i have a guage and probe fitted at present, the guage doesn't kick in til 700 deg though, could i stick with present probe and mismatch a different guage to it? probe is about 5mm and is fairly responsive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 yes almost certainly a K type probe that has a range from:0-1100 degrees c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Another vote for Thermoguard here... Mine had done 20,000 miles before it was even installed I am not worried about the response time on the basis that I reckon the bits I need to worry about getting too hot will take as long to heat up as the thermocouple so it is probably giving a realistic view of what the components are doing which is probably more useful to know than the temp of a bit of gas that has gone before you can say "fff" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
