Does this match
you're list?
What senders
(thread size or model numbers) did you get with each gauge and where did
you hook them up?
Hi John,
I don't have the model
numbers written down, but I remember the ranges. Your list looks
fine, with the following comments.
- I don't currently have a cyl temp, EGT,
or voltmeter (will come up with something temporary though), so I can't comment
on those particular gauges.
- I originally bought all my senders in
1/8" NPT size, and planned to use adapters. This turned out to be a bad
idea, so get the proper threads. Here are the sizes for the ones I
used:
Water temp in water pump housing- M12 X 1.5
Oil temp (in pan)- M16 X 1.5
Oil pressure- M10 X 1.0
- You'll notice that they don't sell
a 250 degree water temp sender in the M12 x 1.5 thread, but they do sell
one in a 300 degree range. I know this very well, because bought the 250
gauge and sender, and had to turn around and replace it with the 300 degree
combo. Of course that means it will say "oil" on the front, so you'll have
to put a new label over it.
- I got the 150 psi oil pressure
gauge, but your 100 degree range is a better
choice.
- Finally, I didn't order the boost
gauge in the cockpit black series, because I didn't like the ranges that were
available. I personally think the vacuum/boost range is more
useful than the ones that are strictly boost. You'll spend a
significant amount of time on the vacuum side of the gauge, and will be
able to see the needle approaching boost. I mounted my gauge
permanently, front and center on the glare shield, because it makes a better
quick reference for the amount of work that the turbo is doing. It
also tells a different story than MAP. The boost gauge is a
differential device, so you will see when the turbo is producing boost over
ambient pressure. You could figure this out with a static absolute
pressure sensor too, but the boost gauge gives it to you directly.
The cockpit black
series goes from 30 vacuum, to 25 pressure. Since I can't imagine
using anything over about 8 psi of boost over ambient, I wanted that range to be
expanded more. I chose the vision 1 series (150-361) since it
went from 30 vacuum, to 15 pressure. I would have preferred that it
have a black bezel, but the range was more important to me. It
doesn't even matter that it doesn't match the other gauges, since this one
stays, and the others are
temporary.
Cheers,
Rusty
