That is some pretty serious monitoring equipment you have there Ronni.

It looks like you have a range of skills that will see you get the optimum out of that RB :P

If you are into data acquisition, could I suggest looking at pressure within the exhaust manifold (ie. backpressure), and exhaust temps pre-turbine. Temperature drop across the turbine is an area of interest, and backpressure has been a topic of discussion over some time.

If you have the gear and time to work on those two, you'd be streets ahead of most of us.

cheers

Its not THAT serious.. its basicly just a PLC... You can hook up every sort of sensor to that. And get it displayed. When making the program you can designs the layout of the screen, which buttons are thouch and so on. You can have multiple pages which will display what you want.

You can also do stuff like max hold, min hold, average reading, reset etc. I will use the PLC as a turbo timer also, as it will read revs on the turbo. So can set at which turbo revs i will shut down engine.

I cant program PLC that good at all, but have a friend who will help with the setup. He is a really bad as to this. I just nod my head and say oooh thats right, and look like I understand when he shows me stuff. hehe.

Will but backpressures on the list.

All exhaust temp readings will be pre turbo. one sensor in each runner, just at the start of the manifold.

The main issue here is just I dont have the time for it all at once... :-( Could use 48 hours a day. Just finished my 3rd mayer school stay, next is my final exam, then there will be more time, and money as Im only and apprentice now.

Cheers.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
