AEM Universal Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor Install Kit

AEM Universal Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor Install Kit | High-Temp Hose & Fittings

Protect your EBP sensor from intense exhaust heat and vibration. AEM Universal Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor Install Kit includes a high-temp hose, weld bung, and fittings.

Protect your sensitive electronic pressure sensors from the harsh, extreme-heat environment of your exhaust system with the AEM Universal Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor Install Kit.

Directly mounting a exhaust back pressure (EBP) or exhaust manifold pressure (EMP) sensor to an exhaust manifold subjects it to extreme thermal stress, severe vibration, and hot soot accumulation—factors that lead to premature sensor failure and inaccurate data readings. The AEM Universal Install Kit solves this problem by isolating the sensor away from direct manifold heat using a high-temperature, flexible stainless steel braided line paired with copper tubing.

By dampening heat, isolating vibration, and allowing heat dissipation through the copper line prior to reaching the sensor, this kit ensures stable, accurate pressure readings for advanced engine tuning, turbocharger efficiency monitoring, and electronic boost control. Designed as a universal solution, it integrates seamlessly with AEM pressure sensors and most standard 1/8" NPT exhaust pressure sensors.

Best Uses

1. Turbocharger Tuning & Efficiency Monitoring: Accurately measure pre-turbine exhaust back pressure to calculate pressure ratios and optimize engine volumetric efficiency.
2. Diesel Engine Performance Tuning: Monitor exhaust manifold pressure on turbo-diesel setups to prevent turbo overspeed, optimize VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo) control, and guard against high cylinder head temperatures.
3. EGR & Exhaust System Diagnostics: Track down flow restrictions and monitor exhaust back pressure for performance or diagnostic troubleshooting.
4. Protecting Electronic Pressure Sensors: Ideal for any custom turbo manifold or high-performance exhaust application where sensor life must be extended away from direct heat and engine movement.

Features

1. Thermal Isolation Line: Features a combination of high-temperature copper tubing and stainless steel braided hose designed to dissipate extreme exhaust gas temperatures before heat reaches the sensor body.
2. Standardized 1/8" NPT Porting: Includes standard 1/8" NPT fittings compatible with AEM exhaust back pressure sensors and most aftermarket pressure transducers.
3. Weld-In Steel Exhaust Bung: Supplied with a dedicated weld bung designed for clean, secure installation directly into the exhaust manifold or downpipe.
4. Vibration-Dampening Design: Flexible line isolates the delicate electronic sensor from intense engine harmonics and exhaust vibrations, preventing mechanical failure.
5. Complete Hardware Kit: Comes equipped with all necessary adapters, fittings, line hardware, and mounting options needed for a professional, leak-free installation.

Benefits

1. Extended Sensor Lifespan: Shielding the sensor from direct radiant heat, hot exhaust gases, and continuous vibrations drastically reduces premature sensor burnouts and failures.
2. Improved Tuning Accuracy: Thermal dissipation prevents thermal drift in the sensor's electronics, delivering consistent, reliable voltage outputs and precise pressure data to your ECU or logger.
3. Universal Compatibility: Adapts easily to virtually any engine platform, exhaust manifold layout, or vehicle build using custom or off-the-shelf turbo kits.
4. Clean & Flexible Mounting: Allows freedom to mount the sensor on the firewall or inner fender well where space is cooler and more accessible for maintenance.
5. Prevents Clogging & Contamination: The remote line setup creates a buffer zone that helps minimize soot and carbon buildup directly against the sensor element interface.
