Check out Mearcat (he's on the forums): He makes some fantastic guage pods specifically for C34 Stageas: I use both pods: a single guage on the dash near the a-pillar, and a double guage pod that replaces the factory clock: they are very well made, and look great: very neat!

I'll post pics tomorrow...

I have my boost gauge on the dash next to the a pillar, hasn't caused me any problems yet. Only stuck there with a bit of double sided tape as well and there haven't been any holes drilled, so it's easy to change its location if I have to.

Can sort of see it in this pic

Yes please. I have my boost guage in the RH centre vent but don't really want to lose the whole vent. I would like oil pressure and temp as well and poss water temp (stock one is not very accurate).

I've only got a single-DIN stereo now, so I mounted Exhaust Temp, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure between the stereo and the HVAC controls (I managed to get an off-cut of 1cm thick thermo-plastic and cut the holes with a hole-saw), and Boost in a single Mearcat clock-replacement pod.

I installed an Innovative Motorsports wideband O2 sensor last week. Didn't want to drill holes in the dash and not sure how permanent it will be, so I ziptied it to the vent under the windscreen. Looks fine, doesn't get in the way and fairly stable. The clamp that comes with it is way too tall and chunky.

Hmmm JDMSprit's and Goldzilla's gauges look awesome :)

Sorry: Stag went to the workshop again, as I managed to collect my new daily: next week I'll have pics of the full Mearcat setup: They look great in the "flesh"- sit nicely, and require no holes to be drilled.

I was rather hesitant doing what I did. I had them double sided taped there for a while but the heat kept making the tape let go and I got rather annoyed so I took my time cutting the holes as flush as possible and Sikaflex'd them from the underside. As a plus it made the cups sit a good 4-5mm lower as the column cover is a good 2.5mm thick. I do plan on picking up a spare cover for what ever reason I feel like selling the car or removing the gauges in future. :)

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
