i just got my gauges in today

autometer phantom II series trans boost and pyro


now the pyrometer setup from this kit is strange

you drill and tap the manifold like always for npt fitting.


the probe slides through the npt fitting and is held in place by a set screw in the fitting

it looks like this setup will not seal and i dont want an exhaust leak from somthing that stupid


does that setup sound like it will work.

iv never seen it setup that way


ive put a pyro in a 12v and a 06 common rail and both of those used a probe with a flare nut style fitting that sealed when tightened

any thoughts

 

How loosely does it fit in the fitting? If it doesnt wobble around it should work fine. I dont think they would sell them if they leaked. But i never saw that style.

 

it wiggles enought to know that bacpressure will surley blow that thing out

the directions are also saying to install after the turbo where backpressure is no where near as high

basiccly i think they gave me the wrong thermocoupler

ill probly have to get a different one sent to me but any other info from you guys would be great

 

hi
i just did my pyro and it has the nut , autometer lunar series ?

contact autometer as they have a very good cust service person .

 

My Pyro is exactly as you describe with the set screw on the side. It doesn't leak. Don't ask my how it seals (I thought it would surely leak) but it does seal.

Install it and go on to more important worries.

I have the same pyro here, no leaks.

 

thanks guys ill give it a shot
