After much development! Buckshot Racing #77 has created the best EGT Probes in the business! We've worked directly with a life-long EGT engineer to create this cutting-edge solution tailored for high-performance Mercury Racing 2.0, 2.4, and 2.5 Liter 2-Stroke V6 outboards.
The BlaZen Fast Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) probes, paired with custom stainless steel riffle bolts, combine advanced technology, robust materials, and easy installation to ensure optimal engine performance and monitoring.
BlaZen Fast EGT Probes: Precision Engineering for Peak Performance
The BlaZen Fast EGT probes are designed to provide accurate, real-time exhaust gas temperature measurements, ensuring precise tuning and protecting the engine from potential damage during high-performance and racing operations.
Precision with Type "K" Thermocouples
The probes utilize Type "K" thermocouples, widely recognized for their accuracy and reliability across a broad temperature range. Classified under the Special Limit of Error standard, these thermocouples guarantee deviations limited to ±1.1°C or 0.4% of the measured temperature, whichever is greater. This high level of precision ensures consistent and dependable performance monitoring in demanding conditions.
The probes feature an exposed junction for rapid response to temperature changes. This design is critical for engines running at high RPMs, where real-time data is essential. The junction is finely tuned with a height between .115” and .125” and a bead width ranging from .045” to .060”, maximizing responsiveness and accuracy.
Robust Inconel 600 Sheath
The sheath is constructed from Inconel 600, a material renowned for its resistance to oxidation and corrosion under high temperatures. This advanced material ensures that the probes withstand the harsh environment of exhaust gases, maintaining their integrity and performance over extended periods of intense 2-stroke and race fuel operation.
Optimized Geometry for Seamless Installation
The BlaZen EGT probes feature a 90° bend that simplifies installation, particularly in tight or complex engine layouts. The design includes a 4-inch hot leg for optimal placement in the exhaust flow, and a 1-inch cold leg to streamline the connection process while maintaining accuracy.
This geometry ensures compatibility with the confined spaces of Mercury Racing Outboard Engine Cowl.
Advanced Wiring and Secure Termination
The probes are equipped with 12-inch Type "K" FEP insulated wire, providing heat resistance and flexibility. The wires use 20 AWG stranded conductors, which are designed to endure vibrations and fatigue in high-performance environments. A stainless steel over braid adds an extra layer of protection, shielding the wiring from abrasion and heat damage.
For a reliable connection, the probes terminate in a Type "K" mini plug with flat pins. This secure plug ensures consistent data transmission, critical for accurate monitoring during engine operation.
Custom Stainless Steel Rifle Bolts: Simplifying Installation
To complement the BlaZen EGT probes, Buckshot Racing #77 offers custom stainless steel rifle bolts with brass ferrells and compression nuts. These bolts are specifically designed for use in the bottom two bolt holes of the exhaust divider plate, ensuring a secure and reliable fit.
Premium Materials: The bolts are made from stainless steel, offering exceptional durability and resistance to heat and corrosion. The brass ferrells provide a flexible and reliable seal, ensuring a tight fit even under extreme conditions.
Compression Nut Design: The inclusion of compression nuts simplifies the installation process and ensures a secure, adjustable fit that resists loosening over time.
Purpose-Built for the Mercury V6 Exhaust Divider Plates: These bolts are specifically tailored for the bottom two bolt holes of the exhaust divider plate, ensuring precise and easy integration with the EGT probes.
By simplifying and securing the installation process, these bolts enhance the overall reliability of the monitoring system, reducing setup time and providing a stable, long-term solution for mounting the probes.
Comprehensive Solution for High-Performance Engines
The combination of BlaZen EGT probes and custom stainless steel riffle bolts offers a complete, robust solution for Mercury Racing 2.0, 2.4, and 2.5 Liter 2-Stroke V6 engines. This system provides:
Precision Monitoring: The advanced thermocouples and rapid-response design enable real-time adjustments to fuel-air mixtures, optimizing performance and efficiency.
Enhanced Engine Protection: Early detection of abnormal exhaust gas temperatures prevents potential damage during prolonged high-speed operation.
Streamlined Installation: The optimized probe geometry and purpose-built bolts ensure a quick and secure installation process, even in compact engine layouts.
With the durability of Inconel 600, the precision of Type "K" thermocouples, and the ease of installation offered by the custom bolts, Buckshot Racing #77 delivers a high-performance solution that meets the rigorous demands of competitive racing and performance enthusiasts alike.
