Pyro/Boost/ + Extra?

Thanks for the help so far.

I have now been toying with the idea if using a temp sensor to monitor cooling temps. I'm kinda thinking that if I'm going to do it once, then I should do it right the first time.

a) Has anybody fitted a surface temperature sender in case of a loss of coolant? Would this setup be more thorough then the radiator hose adaptor setup? If so where would you the sender?

b) has anybody fitted the pyro pre-turbo, straight into the middle if the manifold? Is there a splitter that you need to mount in the middle of?

Thanks,

Cam

Hi Cam,

I had my pyro pre turbo for a while and the temps were much higher and tended to spike up more often, much more variation. To be honest it did my head in. I have now moved my pyro to post turbo and have temps consistent with everyone else and can use the same bench marks as everyone else in discussions and setting s re optimal temp range.

Hi Cam if your going Autron gauges jump on their web site and have a look at their internet only specials they have a couple nice kits for gu's there.

Thanks Sherro. I've looked at the kits and the look like a good idea, but they aren't quite what i'm looking for. I like the triple display so that I can see all of my data one simple gauge. I would like to go the dual battery road soon, and when I do i might mount the battery gauge a bit out of the way compared to my first gauge, so the pillar pod might be a waste too.

No worries Cam i have the triple function boost/pyro great gauge but the pyro kicks off at 300c i'm going back to the new dual function gauge so the pyro runs full sweep with digital boost read out i also have the dual battery gauge and the lighting controller as i don't have a dimming circuit works a treat the gauges are very bright with out a dimmer at night.

Cheers Sherro

Thanks Mudrunner. If you were using a gauge with peak hold, would that have helped smooth out the spikes that you came across? I suppose you raise a good point that if I do it the same as everybody else on the forum it wouuld be more useful down the track seeking advice. I like the way you think.

Sherro, I didn't even consider the low cut off. Are the ones they are selling now the same?

Yes Cam the triple function gauges haven't changed they only released a new dual function boost/pyro the pyro runs 0-1000 deg with digital boost read out. The main reason i went autron was because i didn't want an overload on gauges in the cab.
