But you can only have one or the other, the emanage communication or the sensor adapter I am fairly sure.

Just remember the Greddy sensors aren't cheap but they are accurate. I guess it's similar to buying a Defi set, just more compact.

So can the Informeter display boost via connecting to the Emanage?

if it can I'll get the Informeter...

I guess so, do you have the map sensor on the emu? I haven't used the communication cable for the informeter as it was connected to the Vmanage, perhaps that is why, not the external sensor harness.

Yeah I've got the MAP sensor running to the EMU...don't tell me because I'm using the MAP sensor I can't connect the informeter to the EMU...garrrrh...

Hang on - the Greddy boost sensor for the Informeter looks identical to the MAP sensor I'm using for EMU...

yay?

Duuuurrrr thaz cuz itz tha saim sensa

Lol we've had this conversation before Jethro hahaha

ironpaw.... the picture in the first link shows the ignition barrel on the left - when it should be on the right.... so im assuming the picture is upside down, making the gauges mount from underneath?

Have another look at the steering wheel surround on your car, the ignition barrel location is part of the instrument cluster surround. The only cut-outs on the column cover are for headlight and wiper stalks.

Which gauge did you get?

Don't tell me those fake Defi ones on ebay/forums for $60? hehe

Not a fake Defi, no.

It's called an Evo something or other... It's digital with a line of bars that go along the surround instead of a needle and digital numbers in the centre which make it pretty easy to read with a split second glance.

A bit flashy, but the price was right & I thought if give it a go.

hmm, looking at this pic:

It seems like its just the top part of the steering wheel surround?

Take a look at the 2nd pic below...see what I mean? Its just a replace panel really. Doesn't involve the dash or igni barrel at all.

Only issue is that its black...hmmm

Edited by ironpaw

haha...well if I can score a whole dash in black then I'll go black...

I don't want a beige dash with a single black panel...

or you can just paint it in a colour as close as possible to it.

Sounds like a proposition?

you want in dont you

That is the point I was trying to get across, solution could be as Aaron said paint it as close as you can or replace all trim around the binnacle to black to match.

Personally I would be looking at the painting solution as I don't think you want to replace the wheel as well.

I had found that gauge holder a while ago but at that time had no reason for the extra gauges, hence I did not purchase.

Ha, Greddy got back to me regarding getting the MAP reading/Values from the emanage:

"If you have electrical craftsmanship it can be done but for our liability purpose, you will need to run independent sensors to each unit."

Hmmmmm is it as simple as splicing the informeter harness into the existing MAP sensor? interesting..

Edited by ironpaw

No, the input resistance of the unit will affect the value seen making it inaccurate. Just buy the new sensor if you want an accurate gauge.

They are probably talking about making a circuit to feed a mirror signal.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
