  • **EGT probe prices **

    Check the following links out and take note of prices.
    Chip-It
    https://www.chipit.com.au/products-p...ng-capability/
    Ebay
    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DIGITAL-EGT-T...item2ea52dda8e

    To me these items look exactly the same and sound like they do the same thing. Chip-It probably buy these things in bulk and pay $20 each for them :shock:

    But I guess Chip-It proveds a drill bit and a tap and some Loctite. They probably also supply the correct plugs on the harness to intergrate with there chips and the wiring diagram for it to work with them. :?:

    Aside from the brand name in the top left corner of the front panel - yes they do look identical... :|

      The extra $300 covers such things as putting it in an austpost satchel, sticking the flap down and putting it in the 'out' box. Nothings for free you know 8)

        This is probably why the instructions for this module are removed on there fitting instructions page. Not the first link on the list doesn't work.

            They are identical except for the label. I purchased one of these direct from Auber and have it connected to the Chipit chip. I'm not sure where Chipit get off charging $399 for these things but then I will forgive them for producing such a good product (the chip) at a sensible price.

              Dear

              It is not the exact same. Chip It is our exclusive distributor in Australia. They integrate our gauge into their system. Their probe is custom made. It is different than the one listed in this auction. Thanks.

                What a load of BS. It is a standard Auber gauge and Chipit just add a thermocouple (probe). Suitable thermocouples are available from many sources. I have an auber gauge and sourced my thermocouple from http://www.temperature.com.au for a lot less than the Chipit price. My thermocouple specs are:
                K Type
                3mm x 100mm
                Spring Strain Relief
                Fibreglass/ stainless steel braid cable
                1/4 NPT fitting - or to match your exhaust
                2.2m cable

                As for intergrating into the chipit system the Auber gauge comes standard with a set of programable alarm contacts that are wired to the chipit unit.

                    Barry,

                    I have a Stienbauer chip that can be "deactivated" by grounding a control wire. I haven't bothered to hook up the Steinbauer for auto deactivation via the EGT gauge alarm, though it would be a simle matter of switching the chip control wire to ground through the gauge alarm contacts. I haven't used a Chipit but I assume they have a similar switched control wire.

                    I have an audible (loud) alram set up on my EGT gauge and if it sounds liftng the right foot slightly very quickly drops the EGT.

                        After I pointed out the cheaper EGT probe the same as Chip-It sells I still bought one from Chip-It. :? Why? Because I'm hoping the Chip-It module will easily plug into there system with out the guess work that could cost me lots of money if I get it wrong. I'll post pics of my install this weekend.

                          Dude, did you not read my post above? They are the same, even chipit told me that. As I said above I have mine connected to the chip it and it works as advertised. The other day up a long hill with cruise control set at 100 my EGT went to 600 (alarm is 575), the chip detuned itself and I backed off. It re-engaged when temps went below 480 which took no time at all.

                          Its your money!

                          Chipit are going to have to reduce their markup on those things as with the internet people are going to get wise to it and they won't sell any - losing money in the process.

                            does anyone know if the dtronic sd181 has the same function for connecting to an egt?
