Which Gauges for a Turbo R?

None will be mounted on the pillar!!
Hondata datalogging will be in effect (hopefully eurodeseo sells me his Vaio soon).

In addition to the J&S dual monitor and boost.

Out to lunch, back after Pad Thai and a short quick run of the R ... ed

Re: Which Gauges for a Turbo R? (Zygspeed)

boost.....you dont really "need" any other gauge, but get a EGT if you want two.

Re: Which Gauges for a Turbo R? (Zygspeed)

In addition to boost and egt, I would recommend a temperature gauge because your block will run hotter than normal under boost, especially on the track. The OEM temp gauge is not all that accurate.

Re: Which Gauges for a Turbo R? (Batoutahell)

How about these Ed...
1. Oil Temperature
2. EGT
3. Fuel Pressure
4. Boost
5. Oil Pressure
6. H2O temp(maybe)(although you could always wire in a thermo based switch to turn on a light when you exceed X degrees since you have datalogging and will be able to see what the temps were after the run)

Re: Which Gauges for a Turbo R? (austrian type-R)

Thanks Guys!

I'm thinking of sticking most of them under the radio, but maybe also a couple important ones up/by/instead of the clock.
Ahh.. fuel pressure...

What temp is the mark before half (or at 1/2, e.g., straight up) on the stock water temp gauge?

Screw gauges. They are over rated.
Don't even rock a cluster. Sell it and get a cluster blocker plate.

Dat chit is ill.

Maybe I can mount a few up/out on the hood, and run the lines/wires up through the squirters!

J&S dual monitor, boost, oil temp and pressure and an EGT.

Sorry Mike, I'm an info junkie but a full set of STACK w/the cluster blocker is not in the cards at the moment. hehe

Re: Which Gauges for a Turbo R? (Zygspeed)

Don't forget those usefull a/f meters... maybe and inside and outside air temp gauge. Also what about an air speed gauge. Don't forget to get something that will monitor the welds on your intake manafold, you might need a laptop to tell u that though

You know what...I'd think that was pretty funny, except I know that they actually make one, although it's actually a rpm gauge for the turbine.

Exactly... I used to examine some measuring and testing applications in years past!

But wouldn't it be better to mount the EGT in the Exahust manifold close to the exhaust pott, and before the turbine (for most accurate results. Other than that you've got to "guestimate" about a 300degree F drop.

P.S. my friend with the Peter Farrell mods on his FD3 has sensors before and after his intercooler!

Drag III kit running Hondata, 3 bar map, high flow pump, bigger injectors, ... 9:! pistons/rods/sleeved block.

Sorry but I'm not familiar with the REV HARD stage 2C kit, but overall I like the quality of their hardware.
