Post pics of your gauges setup part 36

[QUOTE=aspera;19346093]Oh, it looks like they have a sensor module for OBD in the works. Cool.

Also, they have an AIT (air intake temp) sensor module. That's unique. Nice to see it in the same system as an EGT probe. I think you can add multiple AIT sensors, too. It would be nice to get before and after readings to see how well the intercooler works on the fly.[/QUOTE]

That is something I always wanted to measure, before and after on the IC.
aspera 09-13-2007 03:45 PM

It looks like a person could order a bunch of sensors and measure the temperature before the compressor (ambient), before the intercooler, and after the intercooler. Then they could measure the EGT before the turbo and after the turbo if they wanted to do it.

I'm still curious about remote mounted turbos, and think this would be a good way to see what the real turbo temperature would be when the turbo is mounted in a non-engine bay location. Also, do normal turbo systems have a temperature drop after the muffler? No muffler on remote turbo systems, as turbo IS muffler.

Too bad they only make the gauge in the tiny 52mm size.:(

Yea. It's not like something I would want to monitor all the time, although it would be cool to be able to display all that at will. But I too would just like to know what the intake temps and EGT are and how they are affected by the intercooler, spayer, location, outside air, location of turbo, etc. Does anyone know where on the net we might find. Do the engineers share too.

i just got a pod for 3 gauges that replaces the clock pod.
i plan on disconnecting the clock from the harness, cutting the plug off and using the wires to hook my 3 gauges up but i have heard that it will cause my airbag light to stay on, is this true?
if so what do i do?
patrick smith 09-14-2007 08:32 PM

my gauges, DEFI , have i gone to far?
 
well i think im done with adding gauges. i think i have all the gauges needed to monitor my engine on track days. is it to much?:banana:

Nah... I can still see dash space. I'm pretty sure you can find a big ass tach with shift light to fill in the empty space. :devil:
CaliforniaDistraught 09-14-2007 11:23 PM

I think if you mounted the two gauges next to the clock pod on the cluster surround it would look much better.
I realize those gauges are pretty big, maybe some smaller ones would fit nicely.
But it isn't too bad the way it is now.

Just my two cents.

i tried moving them on either side of the dash, but then to see them i have to look in two different places, at the track i need to see them all as fast as i can with out having to hunt all over for them. so the closer they are togeather the better. it looks better in person when you are sitting in the car.

dont forget your wideband o2 gauge.....
aspera 09-15-2007 07:06 AM

Radar detector is just all wrong. First, get a Valentine V1. Second, mount it on the passenger's side visor, pointing straight ahead and level. Third, wire up the V1 remote display. Bonus points if you get custom LEDs.

Other than that, you're only one gauge shy of my Defi collection.:lol:

ya im not sure what t odo with the radar detector. most of the time i dont have it in anyway. im sure im not going to spend $500 on a v1. as nice as they are. but it seems to be working fine as it is.
ScoobaSTieve 09-15-2007 01:24 PM

Radartest.com or whatever it is, says that the V1 is much inferior to both the Bel RX65 pro and the Passport 8500. Cheaper too. Do some research before you get a radar detector that is so expensive. I found a great deal on an RX65 and I love it.

Poo poo for the V1.

Apples and oranges. Other radar detectors just alert you that there IS a cop. The V1 shows you WHERE the cop is. Basically, the Valentine is TWO radar detectors in one. And that's patented, so everybody else is playing for second place until the patent runs out.;)

Also, the V1 looks the same but gets continually updated just like the Bel/Passport products.

Still in the process of hooking up the boost and narrow band A/F but here's a shot. I took them out of my last car and put them in my WRX. I need to straighten out the A/F, I wasn't paying attention when I put it in.

Except, it's not so exclusive. The RX (not sure about the passport) at least will show you multiple bogeys, and UNLIKE the V1, will show you how strong each signal is, MUCH more useful then just where they are. After all, does it really matter where they are? All you really want to know is if they are there or not! I'm sure there are some die hard V1 fans out there, but all I am recommending is that before you spend the outrageous, and I mean OUTRAGEOUS price for a V1, do some research and discover that it is definately not the best detector on the market.

I know how to clock it, but I'm still in the process of hooking up the sending unit and wiring it up, so I pop it out quite a bit. Once It's all properly hooked up, it'll be clocked to the proper position. No need to set it until I'm done messing with it.

I would have to say an Oil Pressure Gauge is a better first choice. The boost and EGT depend on need. Are you tuning a lot? I think Boost is a must on any blown engine but I may toss my egt aside for awhile and sub it for Water Temp or Oil temp. I have Oil Pressure and it will stay.

I don't usually disagree with drew, but in this case, of course Boost is a MUST if you have a forced induction system. I however feel that EGT is a more important gauge than water/oil temp or oil pressure gauge. For the most part, you will see a high temperature on your cluster before it really becomes a problem, and unless you are going HUGE on the boost, the liquid temps really won't matter too much. As far as oil pressure, it won't mean much to you. Again, you have a warning light for oil pressure albeit it will usually only come on right as or right after damage has already occured, but unless you do serious modifications, you shouldn't have to worry about oil pressure either. EGT on the other hand will tell you how your engine is burning gas. The higher the temp, the leaner you are. It will give you a good indication on how much fuel you are burning and if there is too much air there. This will also allow you to mess around with a manual boost controller if you feel froggy.

Just my $0.02 worth of useless information.

I'll go along with that for the Boost Controller or any other tuning toy that would affect air/fuel. That's why I asked the question re tuning. And because of what you said about the oil pressure. If it falls , it falls. A gauge however might give you some indication that the oil pump is dying and from what I have read the light, as you stated, is not worth much. So without tuning often, I still say Oil Pressure. Maybe cause I am always looking at mine. Today I want to know I have the same OP I had yesterday. but then, I also want to see the same EGT. Get all three.

Well, I just went to radardetector.net and researched the website that you posted. It turns out that site is BANNED on the forum and the author (Craig Peterson) is, to put it kindly, not well liked. It seems to be common knowledge over there that the guy is biased.

Please visit the radardetector.net forum to see for yourself. There's lots to learn there.

Oh, and the OUTRAGEOUS price of $540...is a lie. The V1 sells for $399 on the Valentine website (which is the only place you can buy a new one). See for yourself.

Uhm, let me see...

Imagine if they were testing very sensitive microphones (out of the range of human hearing) and Craig Peterson set up a PA system that blasted out those frequencies. Something like that. It makes a test impossible.

The testers DID use another section of road, as the other videos on their website show. But, that wasn't their first choice. And I'm sure a bunch of time and money was wasted trying to find the camouflaged sabotage antenna.

I hope you guys and the mods don't consider this too off topic. Radar detectors ARE gauges, and I really feel that I need to give the other side of the story on this. If I keep one of you guys from getting a BS speeding ticket, then I'll be happy.:)

i dont have pics but i just installed a prosport 60mm gauge in the vent...simply take off the bezel, cluster and lower dash panel. remove the vent by hacking it with a knife like i did, or watever u choose, and cut enough away so that a gauge (depth wise) will fit. then i just used electrical tape to close the open holed vent. then i went to lowes/home depot in the plumbing section and got a rubber coupler, find which one fits around your gauge, and slid it round the gauge. it is a very clean and very snug fit into the vent with the stock surrounding piece. i did no mounting or drilling or taping of the gauge. it fits in there and trust me, aint going nowhere. then just wired it up...i will get pics on soon..

The gauge is a 45 mm omori in a jspectuning gauge pod in the pod...the jspec pod fits perfectly in the autometer lookalike.

I don't know what's going in the right side (probably oil pressure...but we'll see.)

Nice to see you've got that completed. I'm thinking that's the route I'm going to take for everything but AFR and boost.
And drewzter, thanks for the part number.

I am torn between the A-pilar 3 pod mount, or the clock mount. I think the clock mount is easier to read, but I like the look of the pilar mount a lot.
What to doo:rolleyes:
