ATTENTION: All those buying WHITE FACE DASH GAUGES or just looking for a boost gauge


Recommended Posts

If like Dan you are also looking for EL boost gauges that are affordable. Then Aspec in Perth can do them for $75

Unfortunately they are 52mm but he does have nifty simple carbon fibre looking gauge cups that can be screwed to a pillar etc for $16

Pics will be up this evening or the gauge (which has a memory recall funtion as well)

oh and the gauge also can change 7 colours or so but not backlit, el light up

nice

so yeah obviously if a few are interested i can try and get a better price. or something

hang tight for pics.

any questions post up...so I can ask

RiaZ

nup dude you are in no luck at all dan,

its a 52mm gauge that has a gauge cup that it fits into and mounts separately onto the pillar

i will c if he can order a 60mm one for you specially so it will fit.

strich

i can get the cup and the gauge for $65 for SAU guys, cos most peeps that buy stuff from him are N/A so they buy vacuum gauges which means boost gauges will just sit there.

the gauges are not EL

they are LED

8 or 9 colours

3 blues, purple, yellow, red, green, white (and something else)

the baby blue colour with the white face gauge looks just like the el blue colour

so will still fit in with the theme

Can get the gauge for $50 and the cup/mount thing for $15

mount looks like this http://www.pbase.com/image/24383927 or the a pillar pic here if the first link doesnt work http://www.pbase.com/13_devil/my_skyline

note: this is not the same gauge

the mount has a carbon fibre look to it

anyone interested pm me please

apart from strich, dude for you i need to know when you want one

I will take pics of the colours tonight as Zanda will be getting his set tonight so I will be able to get pics.

Heya Riaz,

If you could see what special price they can do me for a 60mm one would be sweeeet!! am hoping to get the boost gauge and dials in on the same day... they say a change is as good as a holiday :-)

EVERYONE: okay sorry fellas no pics, frankie left early yesterday and i got there to a dark closed shop

today though hehe

LAGWAGON:umm lagwagon if the gauge you are thinking of is swoosh brand then fiar enuff dude....i ran a swoosh gauge in my line for all the time i had it and it never skipped a beat. also dude they aren't the EL Autogage brand which i think is the one you are thinking of.

RC: the pod screws into wherever you want to screw it dude you can make it stand up etc on the sterring wheel surround if you want. I screwed it above the existing tweeter spot i think, i cant remember it was slightly rushed. cos i was sick of holding it up while trying to mark a spot, i should have taken the base off and then nicely marked it, but smeh

25GTT: I am going there around 10 so I will put the hard word on him to get you prices. fo shizzle!!

Heya Riaz any luck with the 60mm boost gauge?
yes and no dude

yes i managed to find out and no they don't make a 60mm, but he is checking for what else he can find etc, shant be too long i gotta pop in there today

here is some pics though

Zanda will prolly provide some feedback as he has installed it into his car.

yeah, gauge looks pimp...albeit very very bright.

reads about 10% high by my estimations.... my previous one (VDO - which, incidentally lagwagon also wrote off) was less responsive but probably more accurate. both the vdo and the dyno at SST read 9 psi, whereas this one reads about ten....

...heck, for what I payed for it I'm not too fussed... down the track I'll get a spitfire one or something, but this is fine for the current application. still better that it's overconservative than underconservative...

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
