Can a EX Temp Gauge be used for Water temp??

[Timmo]

Hi Guys,

I just picked up one of these;


As you can see the digital read out is for Exahust temp.

I was wondering if I replaced the ET sensor with a water temp one would the gauge read correctly?

As the output is just done on resistance am I right in assuming this could work?

Any help appreciated

It'll be calibrated to work with a specific k-type thermocouple, I don't think you'll be able to make it display the lower temperatures

I'd recommend you to use it measuring EGT. A water temp gauge and sensor is cheap enough to buy separately.

Cheers Guys.

I've already got a water temp gauge, was just wondering if I could clean up my centre console a bit by just having the one gauge.

Cheers,
