so i notice that poor fellow down at the bottom has like 900guages and only an most 4 eyes, so do you think he needs a guage guage or is that too metaphysical?

teknics 01-22-2004 04:57 PM

thats a small amount of gauges compared to some ive seen



i only count 12, and you know the stock boost and oil psi priobably dont work, so only 10 working gauges.

And a naviator!!!

If they are linked aka defi, LM, and the new hks it make sense. You can push record before a run, then play back later. And watch your boost hit 2 kilos https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

WTF is all that ****?

TheCamel 01-22-2004 08:26 PM

The Complete defi link ( boost, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, fuel pressure and exhaust temp, Greddy Air/fuel. Autometer fuel level, AVC-R, CSi fan controller, Autometer dual sweep Tach, TEC II and the 20b under the hood of the FC to power them all

All you need is this:

I plan on it one day then I will have no guages. Only this nifty ADL Data Logger.

Jims5543 01-22-2004 08:46 PM

BTW - I like this widebody. Its simple and functional. Any one know who makes it?? Or where I could buy it?

Yellow car = Panspeed.

Defi guages are bling, but I don't think that many are necessary.

alex tought me that if youre driving hard you will ignore the guages, so if you're building a car you need to make it so that you dont need to look at guage, cause alex wont

I agree 100%. Roger a Japtrix in WPB Florida said tha same thing. You should have your car built so that you do not need to look at guages.



When I boosted the boost you see in my avatar I had no clue what was going on. I was too busy racing it in an Autocross to look at my guages for 1 second. I only know what happened after I hit my peak hold button.



My Motec EMS data logs. I usually download that to see what everyhting is doing.

In a backwards way (LOL) that makes a lot of sense.



You'd be concentrating on the road if your driving hard, not the guages.

That's why I need one center mounted tach with big numbers and pretty lights with a loud buzzer so i know when to shift and not blow my rotor. I barely notice the overrev buzzer on my car the exhaust is so loud...

Cheers! 01-22-2004 10:27 PM

i never look at my gauges, the only time i do is when i stop.



Jim, why not the stack gauge system? those are bling bling

alex drove my car all day at thunderhill with the tach buried at 8k, the oil pressure near zero, coolant temp 3/4's and the warning buzzers were all going off like a carnival, and nothing happened, except we had fun.



so the moral of the story is dont drift on the roadcourse without a change of shirts

i have that widebody. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I got mine from corksport, its the same as the panspeed but much less. I live it, its a perfect fit, and very functional.



i have some pics, just gotta find em

rfreeman27 01-22-2004 11:16 PM

Well on most of thoes gauges there is a warning function. So if something does go wrong the gauge will go apes...and you can look at it...

The Motec one is made to work with my M-4. This is just as nice if not better than the stack one.



I just looked at the Corksport site and did not see that widebody kit on there.



venomrx7- If you know the name of the kit so I can call them that would be great.
