Overview Haltech's 1/4" open tip thermocouple delivers precision exhaust gas temperature monitoring for serious performance applications. Built for high-temperature environments and direct EGT measurement, this 0.84m sensor provides the accurate data needed to protect your engine and optimise tune parameters under extreme conditions. Technical Specifications Part Number: HT-010862 Tip Configuration: 1/4" Open tip design Cable Length: 0.84m (33 inches) Sensor Type: K-type thermocouple Operating Range: -200°C to +1260°C Response Time: Fast response open junction design Why You Need This EGT monitoring isn't optional on high-output builds—it's essential insurance. Whether you're running a big turbo 2JZ, a methanol-fed rotary, or pushing serious boost through an RB26, exhaust gas temperatures tell you exactly what's happening inside the combustion chamber. The open tip design provides lightning-fast response times, crucial when monitoring rapid temperature changes during aggressive tuning or race conditions. This thermocouple excels in applications where quick thermal response matters most: turbo manifolds on drift cars, individual runner monitoring on naturally aspirated builds, or post-turbo EGT measurement on drag cars. The 0.84m length suits most engine bay installations without excess cable, whilst the robust construction handles the thermal cycling and vibration that destroys cheaper sensors. We've seen too many engines hurt by running blind on EGT—proper monitoring with quality sensors like this prevents expensive mistakes during dyno tuning and real-world abuse. ECU & System Compatibility Compatible with Haltech Elite 550, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 ECUs, plus Nexus R3 and R5 systems when paired with appropriate thermocouple input modules.
