Hi, great video here, very useful, thank you for posting. Q1: How did you seal brass coupling into manifold? Q2: Why use brass coupling instead of stainless steel? - brass could get dangerously close to it's melting point in many tuned cars, I bet you've seen orange-yellow glowing hot manifolds before. Moreover it has very different thermal expansion than this iron manifold, which increases stresses and may lead to failure overtime. While ss ain't a prefect it's a safer alternative.
very interesting stuff. I had planed to outfit my Jaguar E-Type V-12 engine with 12 K-Type thermocouples but to my surprise the price range of thermocouples is huge for identical looking items. So I figured that Innovate might have something better for their 100$ per sensor than the 12$ items on ebay. But the reference link from Adafruit that you posted mentioned that they all should be calibrated anyway. Now since I need 12 thermocouples for some 120$ I can easily buy an extra or two if some turn out bad while the Innovate sensors would cost a whopping 1200$ to start with. they had boards for analog and digital output to interface with the MS3 but I have to see if I find one to interface via CAN bus to reduce the ton of little wires. Thanks again for the video.
@@boostedpower5417 yes, I use an ECUmaster EGT to CAN controller and two different types of K-Type probes. They all work well and the controller transmitts reliable. As far as the controller is concerned: low price, easy setup, works well, the negative side non standard plugs for CAN and sensors, not waterproof. greetings
@@bernhardlist9359 thanks! Kinda looking around on posts about can and ms3 and I haven't really found a whole lot of posts on it. Guess I gotta hit up the manual lol.
If you want to measure a higher temperature you will need a thermocouple amplifier that has a greater range of temperature. The Adafruit thermocouple amplifier I show in this video is limited to 750C . Thanks for watching !
This was the thermocouple amplifier I used for this test. learn.adafruit.com/ad8495-thermocouple-amplifier I can make a video to explain how I setup the input on my megasquirt. It has been a while since I setup this device and I need to review my tune file. Thanks for watching

Brass is what I had available. It’s not ideal but it works for my purposes

Did u end up finding a way to get egt through can bus?

@@bernhardlist9359 looks like the manual has everything I need to get started! Just need the hardware now 😁
Great content! Thanks
Thanks !
Hey! I like your idea. I already used this Idea. but i need more than 750 degrees. how do i measure to 1250°C ?

very good, what about AD597?, I try to connect to MS and burn 2 ad597.
The scale point 1 as 1.4v/30 point 2 5v/750----> how can I read 0° and 1250°?
