these drag cars run over 2000-3000hp and u think they are just trying to save a few bucks buying autometer, bah yer right  :D

not saying defi r shit or a ripoff im just saying autometer aint shit

a 3000hp engine running over 10 000rpm with 7L capacity is what they get used on so they aint that bad. autometer r the most reputable brand in the world for gauges and in the racing scene.

haha Nver really seen a 2000Hp or 3000Hp JAP car with an Autometer gauge in it.

And dont really think you would see a V8 Holden with a Defi gauge!! :lol:

By the way can you find somewhere in this thread where someone said Autometre were shit???????????

i like defi gauges. and i admit it may be because i'm a wanker. but i don't really give a shit, because i like them, simple as that. having said that i have a boost gauge in the GTR. I've looked at it about twice (when setting the boost levels). never looked at it since. though i do have a peak hold function on the profec b II and i do look at that so i guess it's not really a fair comparison.

i use peak replay on my (very old) tomei boostgauge about 100x more often than looking at the guage while flat out. if i get a set of gauges at some stage i would defintaly think a replay function is a vital part the gauge must have

+ defi look nice and are top quality. defi is what i will buy if i buy ever buy any new guages

im sure you know anyway (and is probaby already posted)

I have defi gauges.

I guess that makes me a ricer.

You know what? -I don't give a f**k what you guys think - I like them and they replace the 3 factory GTR gauges with oil temp, water temp, and a decent oil pressure gauge.

And if you have to get online and argue about a gauge... get a life.

I guess my POS little 500hp+ motor isn't good enough for accurate readings on there products then... I've only used there tacho, as to be quite honest I find all there gauges pretty damn ugly.. The tacho isn’t even accurate!! I find my self-looking at my small Tectom unit again and not the tacho which really defeated the propose of trying to keep my eyes on the road and not having to look over at my centre consol!.

Just can't go past Japanese quality ;)

Have a chat to Troy at Pro Speed Racing or Kev at Process West (www.wrxparts.com.au). I know Process West specialise in WRX stuff but Defi gauges are Defi gauges, right? His site hasn't got much listed (well bugger all, really) but it can't hurt to give him a ring, right?

Greenline or Nengun could possibly be cheaper but it's up to you if you want to price match with these guys. Just a suggestion.....

Cheers,

Ben

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
