Thermocouple Manifold Temp Assembly 3/16

The Thermocouple Manifold Temp Assembly 3/16 from RACEPAK is an essential data-acquisition component for serious engine builders and performance tuners who demand precision exhaust gas temperature monitoring. This assembly integrates seamlessly into your intake or exhaust manifold, capturing real-time combustion chamber temperatures that directly influence tuning decisions, fuel mapping, and boost control strategies. Whether you're dialing in a naturally aspirated engine or managing turbo spool characteristics on a forced-induction build, accurate manifold temperature data is non-negotiable for optimizing performance while safeguarding against detonation and component failure.

The 3/16-inch probe design allows installation into standard manifold bosses without requiring extensive porting or custom fabrication work. RACEPAK's thermocouple technology converts thermal energy into electrical signals that feed directly into RACEPAK data loggers or compatible engine management systems, providing millisecond-level resolution for transient combustion analysis. The compact 0.12-pound assembly measures 6.05 x 0.85 x 6.85 inches, enabling tight packaging in engine bays where space is limited. This probe construction withstands the extreme thermal cycling and vibration inherent to high-performance applications, delivering consistent signal integrity across thousands of heat cycles without drift or calibration loss.

Professional engine dynamometer facilities, motorsports teams, and dedicated enthusiasts rely on this assembly to validate ECU calibration changes, confirm ignition timing optimization, and detect lean-condition warnings before they cause catastrophic damage. The manifold temp reading becomes especially critical when tuning aggressive fuel cuts, variable valve timing events, or transitioning between atmospheric and boosted operation. Installation requires a compatible RACEPAK data logger or wiring harness integration into your existing instrumentation setup; consult your engine management documentation to confirm proper sensor input compatibility and signal conditioning requirements.
