General i'm revoking the germans reputation for making well engineered products

[arc]

3 gauge holder, and some gauges, all from raidhp.

the gauge on the left, fits. the metal bar braces round the back, bolts on and presses the gauge against the plate - this holds it in.

the gauge on the right, the metal bar isn't long enough and so it doesnt brace it against anything, and it doesnt fit.

also. why does a gauge need to be that deep? is it purely to get on my tits by not fitting in the A pillar pods?

German's haven't been able to make things well for a few years now matey
That sure does suck though

No Arc it is so you can sell me your A pillar guage pod at a knock down price

 

[arc]

nice try, just put the AFR and vac gagues in there cos they're a bit smaller

 

[Brooky]

any more piccys??

 

[arc]

not really. these?

 

[Brooky]

nice iirc someone made only about 5 of those pillar pods,its that true

 

[arc]

yeah, i have one, alex has one, DJ_Bucho has two and Crez (guy who got them made) has one.

 

[fingers99]

So what instrumentation are you going to be running?

 

[arc]

raidhp night flight gauges.

AFR, EGT, Vac, Oil temp, Oil pressure.

 

[Brooky]

AFR, EGT, Vac???

I know the air-fuel ratio tells you if you are running rich or lean.(please correct if wrong)
What is a EGT????

And what does a vac gauge read,well i know vac but what for??

 

[arc]

AFR will tell me air fuel ratio, might add a digitial readout for that one too.

EGT is exhaust gas temperature, if it starts running hight - then something is wrong, and the engine is about to melt.

vacuum, its useful for diagnosing stuff. and its a cool gauge that moves when i floor it.

 

[fingers99]

Is the AFR narrow or wide band? And for vac, read boost?

 

[Hellcat]

Arc's Cinq is N/A afaik. So vacuum it is.

 

[arc]

vacuum atm, but will be swapped to a boost gauge if it ever works as an n/a car, that i get bored of and turbo.

AFR is fed from an LC1 wideband controller, i don't see much point in NB.

I'd forgotten that you've not turboed it yet!

Me neither. But I wasn't aware of who was making the guages, thought I might have to get one from the States.

 

[Phoenix3dfx225]

yes arc embrace the idea of a turbo. Or at least having it running at a NASP for a few weeks to build your confidence that the engine is running ok, then take of the road again and turbo.

Me neither. But I wasn't aware of who was making the guages, thought I might have to get one from the States.

the LC1 has configurable outputs, i will set one of them to output between 0 and 5v, the voltage range the gauge expects - but it will be a converted wideband signal.

 

[Brooky]

Where is the EGT sensor?? do you have two lamda sensor holes with the sensor in there?

 

[arc]

at the moment the EGT sensor is on my window ledge. but then the exhaust manifold is in the boot, so it doesnt really matter.

yes, two lambda holes and when i get the covnertor the EGT probe is goin in there.
