Overview This precision K-type thermocouple delivers accurate EGT monitoring for serious engine management, giving you the real-time exhaust gas temperature data critical for safe tuning on turbo builds, naturally aspirated performance engines, and race applications. At 28.5" length with a robust 1/4" open tip design, it's perfectly sized for most automotive installations whilst providing the durability needed for high-temperature motorsport environments. Technical Specifications Part Number: HT-010861 Length: 0.72m (28.5") Tip Design: 1/4" Open Tip Type: K-Type Thermocouple Temperature Range: Suitable for EGT monitoring applications Construction: High-temperature resistant design Why You Need This Exhaust gas temperature monitoring isn't optional on serious builds — it's essential insurance against catastrophic engine damage. Whether you're running a built 2JZ-GTE pushing 600hp, an LS turbo conversion, or extracting maximum power from an RB26, EGT data tells you exactly what's happening inside the combustion chamber when AFR readings alone aren't enough. Lean conditions under boost can send EGTs soaring past 900°C in seconds, turning pistons into expensive confetti. This 1/4" open tip design offers faster response times compared to closed-tip alternatives, crucial when you need instant feedback during dyno tuning or track sessions. The 28.5" length suits most engine bay configurations — perfect for positioning in the exhaust manifold collector or individual runners on builds where space permits. We've fitted these on everything from Escort Cosworth builds to modern BMW N54 conversions, and the data consistency is what separates successful tunes from expensive rebuilds.
