I've been chatting at work to a bloke who's got a damn good mind!

I want to know if there is a sensor avaliable to show pressure in and electronic signal?

We want to put sensors before the turbo(s); between the turbo(s) and the intercooler and between the intercooler and the inlet manifold (or in manifold, which ever is easier)...

What, how etc etc?

Any thoughts/ideas etc?....

Pressure/Vaccumn switch, basically it won't give you a measurement, but you can make it trigger at certain pressures.

its a start, it also has links to some articles that might give you or your mate some ideas.

Bass Junky, permanently... We wanna rig up a digital display that shows what the air goes into the turbo at; what it comes out of the turbo at (turbo effieciency or whatever you call it) then what it goes into the manifold at (ie what loss is caused through the pipes and intercooler etc....

Don't really wanna spend a fortune converting the car to MAP for that you know?....

just need 3 lil sensors that we can plumb into the pipes to send the pressure as a digital signal....

Does that help?

You dont need to convert the car to MAP based management...

A map sensor is a small, relatively cheap device that converts a pressure signal (ie from your intercooler plumbing) to an electrical signal...

Stock 33 boost guage is driven by a MAP sensor...

funky, I had a look at that and it looks good too...

I was just picturing something cheap and simple that could be tapped into the pipes like the O2 sensors in the dump pipes.... any thing like that? is that what a MAP sensor would be like?

Permanently: You would then have to weld little lugs to the places you want the signal to be taken from and then attach a MAP sensor to each lug.

From there you would have to output that signal to some sort of display unit.

I can't really see this as being a cheap thing to do......

The alternative it to plumb up three seperate boost gauges....

I think Autometer now have digital readouts which have the outputs from two sensors displayed on the one guage. You can configure them to be whatever you want. (might not be autometer.... but it's someone.

BASS OUT

Yeah, the drilling/welding shouldn't be too expensive if we know a welder though should it...

We're going to design our own display unit, using the 3... so the 3 boost guages would be a waste of money....

So how much do you think it would be for the 3 MAP sensors?

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
