Hi All,



Been monitoring this forum for some time, but I'm now putting the final touches to my 2200A X-Air H and I need your advice.  I'm installing a Grand Rapids EIS monitor for the 2200 and the Jab manual says to place the EGT probes 100mm from the exhaust manifold plate.  Has anyone else installed this EIS and what distance did they use for the EGT probes?



Many thanks in advance for your time.

I use an EIS, and just like the instructions called for, I installed  

my EGT probes at 100 mm from the head-to-exhaust pipe interface. I  

also used a short stack of washers...about 1/8" worth...to better  

center the tip of the probe within the pipe.

Thanks Bob, SW and especially Lynn for the washer tip.  Do I need to get the tip of the probe in the middle of the pipe?  Because if so, I need around 1/2 inch of washers to achieve this on my engine?  That's quite a lot of washers!

I only put 4 thin washers on each probe...about 1/8" worth. This  

didn't center the probe, but got it away from the far side of the pipe.

Just an FYI, Westberg (Westach) makes short tip EGT probes that are about the same price as the ones supplied from GRT . If you haven't used the supplied probes GRT has been real good about returning/refunding unused items. Aircraft Spruce carries the short probes.

I got the short EGT probes from ACS and the tip is almost exactly in the 

middle of the exhaust pipe.

Seem to work well.
