H&s minimaxx reding crazy pyro temp levels and defueling

1stock13 · Dec 13, 2015

Used the EGT sensor out of the crossover pipe for my pryo1 reading on my Minimaxx, its reading crazy numbers like 2500 degrees. I had to turn the defueling off to keep the truck from going back into stock tune. Was i supposed to use one of the sensors out of the exhaust instead?/ I know my EGT's arn't anywhere near that high. anyone have a suggestion? thanks,

Yep you need one from the exhaust.

Are you just taking the sensor itself and clip it in to where the egr sensor is? Or are you taking sensor and wire from exhaust? I currently have the sensors from the egr plug in and not reading on my cts2

I used the sensor, and pigtail that came out of the cross over pipe. I did a complete egr cooler ******, the bung is on the block plate that's covering the hole in the exhaust manifold.

That's what I did. Don't know if it was reading correctly. I'm not monitoring it right now. I was wondering if you need just the sensor only from the exhaust (what is the difference in the exhaust one and the one off egr). Or the sensor along with the wiring for it from the exhaust.

I'm sure someone can answer this. Anyone from H&S wanna chime in?

I just switched them out it seems to be measuring now. I wasn't to concerned with reading egt at the moment because I'm planning on swapping turbo near future. But since you got me thinking about it I had to get mine working.

So I switched them out. Mine only reading up to 415*. Might be due to the cts2 not sure

cts2 doesnt read the factory sensor.

I'm out of state until tomorrow, I will go ahead and swap them out. So I'm guessing this will read just fine on my minimax 4 as pryo1?

I bought my truck ******d so I do not have the rear exhaust sensor, just the one from the EGR. Can anyone verify if part# AC3Z-5J213-C is correct? Thanks!
