Defender td5 Madman EGT Gauge + Probe + Plate fitting

14 11 2016

It is done

The most difficult part was to pin point the 4 holes in the Croytec pod , I took out the clock and put something useful instead.

As per my previous installation for the oil temp and pressure I took the +ve &  -ve from the oil temp right next to my EGT gauge which is operational on ignition.

Just had to Find the way for the wire get from the engine bay to through the bulkhead to the pod

Not a big fan of electrical looms and diagrams…

The Madman setup

  1.  EGT Gauge
  2. Plate
  3. Probe K type probe

The famous 12V buzzer…..very loud (Gauge internal alarm and red light is more than enough for alerts) (violet to red & black to black) wiring

With my Td5inside soft remap i am  keeping an eye on the temp of gases from exhaust manifold.

Happy with the gauge, it serves as a security check on the manifold.

In the last 3 days that i was checking it the Temp went up to a Max of 400Cº which is not not significant knowing that the alarm is set @720 Cº and heard that the manifold could withstand upto 850Cº  for very short peeks.

I bought it from here ask for Brendan (very nice guy and helpfull on e-mail)
