NotE: If not installing or connecting
an EGt thermocouple to the Banks
Six-Gun Diesel tuner then install the
supplied EGt thermocouple bypass
plug. the bypass plug is installed on
the two pin connector attached to the
backside of the tuner.
If your vehicle already has a Banks
DynaFact EGT probe installed, please
skip to step 8.
If your kit does not have EGT sensing and
limiting functions, please skip to step 10.
Installation
1.
The thermocouple monitors the
temperature of the exhaust gases
entering the turbocharger, and allows
the Six-Gun to limit maximum exhaust
gas temperatures to a level that you
select. If your vehicle is not already
equipped with a mounting location for
an EGT probe (Ex: Banks exhaust system
with the Banks Turbine Outlet Pipe),
installation requires that the exhaust
manifold be drilled near the manifold
outlet. All metal shavings must be
cleaned from the manifold to avoid
turbine wheel damage – Gale Banks
Engineering recommends removal of the
exhaust manifold for safety and ease of
installation.
NotE: the displayed exhaust gas
temperature reading is greatly affected
by placement of the EGt probe.
Placement of the EGt thermocouple
probe in the exhaust manifold directly
ahead of the turbocharger’s exhaust
turbine inlet will always provide the
truest EGt measurement as it most
directly reflects your engine’s internal
operating conditions. Placing the EGt
probe in the turbocharger’s turbine
outlet pipe can provide an EGt reading
up to 250 °F lower than the true turbine
inlet temperature. Keep this in mind
when monitoring your EGt and setting
EGt limits.
2.
Raise the vehicle and disconnect
all negative battery cables before
beginning work – refer to the General
Installation Practices section.
Remove the driver side exhaust
manifold using a 13mm socket for the
eight (8) manifold bolts and two (2)
turbocharger exhaust inlet pipe bolts,
using a moderate amount of penetrating
oil on the threads of the turbocharger
exhaust inlet pipe bolts to ease
removal if necessary. (The manifold and
turbocharger exhaust inlet pipe bolts are
most easily accessed from underneath
the vehicle.)
3.
Drill a hole 7 ⁄
16
” in the driver side
exhaust manifold at the location shown
in Figure 1.
4.
Tap the hole for a 1 ⁄
4
” NPT thread.
check the thread depth as you tap
by periodically removing the tap and
