k4nnon Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hey all I am thinking about purchasing and installing an individual egt sensor kit. The particular kit I am looking at is the Innovate TC-4 Thermocouple Amplifier Kit with 4 included K-Type sensors. I have a setup question before I make the purchase. I have a PnP G4x for my evo 9. I have both expansion harnesses and both are running out of space already. I have AN Temp 4 available on harness 1, and I have AN Volt 6, 7, and 9 available on harness 2. The Innovate amplifier has 4, 0-5V outputs that I can input to the link. My question is in regards to AN temp 4 that has the 1k internal resistor. Will this cause an issue in set up since I cannot turn it off? Will setup be the exact same as the other voltage inputs? I assume they dont need a resistor since the amplifier is a 0-5v output, or will all inputs to the g4x need 1k resistors? If anyone has any helpful input I appreciate it. Thanks.

dx4picco Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Maybe it would be more interesting to use a amplifier that uses CAN rather than analog values? It would avoid offset issues and doesn't clog up your wiring / I/Os Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in cost is quite a bit, about half actually. So if I can get the cheaper option to work I would rather do that, but maybe ill take another look around. Thanks again!

dx4picco Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 ECU master EGT to can seems to be about the same price as the inovate analog one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, I briefly looked at that one the other day but i didnt take notice to if it provided 4 thermocouplers or if i needed to make a another purchase on those. Ill look into it thanks again!
