I thought I was a gauge whore.

-A. Swift

Yeah he unpacked them so we can figure out the "order" they are going in the dash (see those holes below it).

The Tach I think is going in the factory location as far as I remember, then it is:

SWP Blower gauge (0-100psi)
SWP Water Temp Gauge
SWP Oil Pressure Gauge
SWP Oil Temp Gauge
SWP Fuel Pressure Gauge

He also has a trans temp gauge, but I think he'll just sell that..or we will use it to monitor something other than trans temp.

I on the other hand have 4 gauges (water temp, boost, oil pressure, afr) and the AEM tells me everything else. John likes gauges and told me I can't add anymore to my car.
I think I should be allowed to catch up :).

Setup looks good. What sized turbo - 76? Where did you get the mandrel bent aluminum 3" charge piping? What was the big secret?

Is that John's radiator? Looks like it'll have clearance issues, or will be going out the hood. I'm enjoying the work on both cars. I'd like to see them run a few passes. Please inform when you're heading to Rock!

Should prove to be an eventful summer.

The turbo is based off a 76gts. It is rated for over "1100hp" compared to last seasons "940". I'll know what it makes when it makes it. I wanted to be quite as we wanted results and it to be running good for the dyno day (kind of a surprise) but that didn't work out.

Thats johns cooler for his water to air intercooler. It is open at the top so he can toss in ice at the track.

as someone noticed they are not 100% perfect, .

Hmm who noticed that ;)

Looking good though man!

Do you have a temp probe in the water for John's IC? I would think with that small of transfer area that it would heat up on the street, but I could be wrong.

Pump gas, street driving, low boost... I am going to make a block off plate for the heat exchanger and run as much ice as I can(on race gase and 30+psi), about 1.5 gallons of ice will fit in the top, and use my IAT sensor to turn on the water pump at X air temp. Pump gas will be low boost, 15 or less psi so I do not think temps will be an issue. I will use a coolent temp sensor in the heat exchanger to see what the temps are, then if I get crazy put dry ice in the top with a vent and see what the temps get down to. And the hood will close, I think it will be mounted about 1" lower then it is now. The intercooler is big, the hole system will have about ~4-4.5 gallons, the water pump will draw water from the bottom go threw the IC then dump back in the top.

The intercooler piping is stainless
