Sensors
The Sensors range covers temperature, pressure, position and EGT thermocouples (K-type) for accurate engine and vehicle data. From MAP/EMAP to IAT/ECT probes, plus weld bungs, thermocouple leads and install kits, everything is here for a clean, reliable setup. Select by measurement range, thread (e.g., 1/8" NPT) and your ECU’s calibration options.

Brief summary & key benefits
Sensors are the foundation of control and logging. Accurate measurement enables stable strategies, faster diagnostics and consistent performance. Our range covers MAP/EMAP pressure, IAT/ECT temperature, EGT thermocouples, and throttle/cam position sensors plus weld bungs, leads and install hardware.
Technical Basics
Pressure (MAP/EMAP): choose a span above your expected peak; verify supply and linearity (e.g., 0.5–4.5 V). Exhaust pressure needs heat shielding and vibration-friendly plumbing.
Temperature (IAT/ECT/EGT): IAT/ECT typically use NTC curves—select the correct table in the ECU. EGT requires K-type probes with proper cold-junction compensation and adequate sample rate.
Position/speed: hall or potentiometer sensors for DBW and cam/crank; respect pinout and mechanical stops.
Threads & bungs: common 1/8" NPT; use correct weld bosses for exhaust and coolant. Aim for leak-free installation with suitable seals.
Wiring: use shielded twisted pairs for signals; thermocouples need dedicated compensating cable. Avoid ground loops and choose sealed connectors with suitable IP rating.
Selection Criteria
Range & resolution: target 70–80% utilisation in normal operation to retain resolution with headroom.
Response time: for fast dynamics (IAT spikes, EGT) pick short time-constant sensors; long leads add filtering/lag.
Environment: engine bay demands sealing, heat protection and flexible strain relief; shield hot areas properly.
Calibration & compatibility: confirm ECU curves (NTC tables, mV/bar) or provide manual scaling. Wrong scaling causes implausible values and unwanted safety triggers.
Installation & Maintenance
Placement: IAT in clean airflow, ECT in a constant-flow coolant point; EGT bungs equally spaced on the manifold.
Fitting: use high-temp sealant or crush washers; NPT needs modest torque. Provide strain relief and grommets on sharp edges.
Checks: validate readings after first start, inspect noise and grounds; re-torque hot joints after heat cycles and monitor for chafing or seal damage.
FAQ
Which MAP rating?
NA engines: 1–1.5 bar abs.; boosted: choose with 10–20% headroom above target peak.
IAT/ECT signal is noisy—why?
Poor grounding, missing shielding or proximity to ignition leads; improve wiring and mounting.
Key EGT tips?
Equal distance per runner, correct K-type cable, good CJC and heat protection.
Use PTFE tape on NPT?
Not on sensor grounds or high-heat areas; prefer high-temp sealant or metal washers.
