Legacy Mychron 2 users, extend your thermal reach with this original CHT/EGT lead, boasting Omega female-to-male K-type ends on a durable yellow patch cable for straightforward sensor extensions.
Compatible with classic systems, it preserves signal quality over distance, letting you position probes optimally without compromising data. In older kart setups, where space constraints bite, this lead bridges gaps to monitor critical temps accurately, informing adjustments that sustain power.
- K-type Omega connectors ensure industry-standard compatibility.
- Yellow sheathing for easy identification in mixed harnesses.
- Flexible for routing around engine components without kinks.
Use it to stretch EGT probes deeper into pipes or CHT to remote heads, capturing data that spots inefficiencies—like uneven firing—for balanced output and speed (SKU: MC2EXT). It organizes aging electronics, reducing failure points and prep time.
For vintage racers or budget builds, this extension revives full monitoring potential, turning potential blind spots into tuned advantages. Pair with existing sensors for a cohesive system that supports consistent, quick laps through reliable heat insights.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this extension lead compatible with modern MyChron 5 or 6 systems?
A: No, this specific lead is designed with Omega connectors specifically for the legacy MyChron 2 system. For modern MyChron 3 through 6 systems, please see our other temperature extension lead options.
Q: Can I use this lead to extend both CHT and EGT sensors?
A: Yes, because this lead utilizes standard K-type Omega female-to-male connectors, it is compatible with both CHT and EGT probes that use the same industry-standard connection type.
Q: How does this extension affect the accuracy of my temperature readings?
A: This original AiM Tech lead is engineered to preserve signal integrity over distance. By using high-quality connectors and shielding, it ensures that your data acquisition remains accurate, preventing signal degradation that can occur with lower-quality aftermarket extensions.
Q: What is the benefit of the yellow sheathing?
A: The yellow sheathing is the industry standard for K-type thermocouple wiring. It allows for quick visual identification within your kart's wiring harness, making it easier to troubleshoot or organize your data acquisition setup during trackside prep.
Q: Do I need to calibrate my MyChron 2 after installing this extension?
A: Generally, no. Since this is a passive extension lead, it does not change the resistance or signal type of the sensor. However, it is always good practice to verify that your gauge is reading ambient temperature correctly before heading out on track.
