DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

• When tuning high-performance diesel or turbocharged gas engines—such as Ford Powerstroke, Chevy/GMC Duramax, or Dodge Ram Cummins—monitoring Exhaust Gas Temperatures is critical to prevent severe engine damage, melt-downs, and turbo failures under heavy towing or high-horsepower tunes.
  
• The SCT EGT Sensor Kit is a direct plug-and-play replacement for the SCT 9817 / 9800 pyrometer kit. It integrates seamlessly with popular SCT performance tuners (including Livewire TS, GTX, BDX, X4, and Touch Screen models) via the analog firewire port, providing real-time, high-precision EGT readouts directly on your tuner's digital display.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Braided Shielding: Stainless steel braided wire loom protects the thermocouple line from engine bay heat, abrasion, and harsh environmental exposure.
  
• Direct Plug-and-Play Integration: Plugs directly into the analog/firewire port on your SCT tuner—no external gauges, custom wiring cuts, or additional control boxes required on your dash.
• High-Precision K-Type Thermocouple: Fast-response probe accurately reads extreme exhaust gas temperatures.
• Engine Safety Protection: Provides real-time EGT monitoring on your SCT screen to alert you before dangerous exhaust heat damages turbochargers, pistons, or exhaust valves during heavy towing.

FAQ

Q: Which SCT tuners are compatible with this EGT sensor kit?

A: This kit is fully compatible with SCT Livewire TS, GTX, BDX, X4, and other SCT hand-held programmers equipped with an analog/firewire input port.

Q: Is this kit a direct replacement for the official SCT 9817 EGT sensor kit?

A: Yes! It is designed as a direct plug-and-play replacement for the SCT 9817 / 9800 pyrometer kit, offering identical calibration parameters and connector pinouts.

Q: Do I need a custom ECU tune to display EGT data on my SCT tuner?

A: No. Your SCT tuner reads the analog voltage signal directly from the probe module. You simply configure an analog gauge input on your tuner's menu screen to display "EGT" or "Pyrometer".

Q: Why is monitoring EGTs so important on a tuned diesel truck?

A: Tuned diesel engines inject more fuel to build boost and power, which drastically increases exhaust temperatures. EGTs exceeding 1,350°F–1,400°F for extended periods can melt pistons, crack manifolds, and ruin turbochargers. A pyrometer allows you to back off the throttle before damage occurs.
