What do you need that for?

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 10:20 am

to measure my exhasut gas temp. it isa great place to notice your eninge heating up. becasue air heats up faster then anything else. and as soon as i see my exhasut temp going up really fast i know there is a problem.

Post by **srdub-t** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 10:33 am

If your exhaust temp is high it usaually means that your timing is retarded

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 11:40 am

yea it can also show you when you are running lean. over all i think it is a pretty important gauge. to monitor stuff. well i got my turbo extension today, and it came with an adapter for a skinny O2 sensor. so i ordered and extra one from enjuku racing becasue i thought it wouldnt come with the adapter.

so if any one needs one when the adapter comes in i will eb bale to sell it.

Post by **White Comet** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 7:29 pm

remind me again what turbo extension u went w/ ?

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 10:15 pm

i got a megan racing. i know i will get flamed by someone for going with it. but comparing it to the stock one it is a huge improvement.

Post by **White Comet** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 10:18 pm

does that one have a divorced chamber or not?

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 10:43 pm

it doesnt havea divorced cahmber but neither does stock. i dont think it is worht the 60 more dollars it would cost toget one with it.

I know what it does, I guess my question was poor

Why would you want that on your setup, if its' ROM tune and nothign changes?

Divorced chambers always proove to help response. I would say the MR is slightly better than stock, but nothing near a divorced setup...

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 1:14 pm

yea i know it wont have the benifits of a divorced chamber. but that wasnt worht the 60 or soem more dollars it cost. becasue that means i wouldnt be able to buy everything i am buying at the end of this month.

most of my gauges i probly dont really need. but this is my first build and with everything i am doing i want to catch anything as soon as it goes wrong. so i dotn ruin a bunch of stuff. my guages area safety percation.

and sicne i havea pyrometer i dont need a a/f gauge. so i am going to get an water temp gauge instead.

Post by **srdub-t** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 3:34 pm

If its a saftey percausion then deffinatly dont skip out on the air fuel gauge..... You dont wanna go off of egts for air fuels ratio.... I would deff get an air fuel gauge... you can find them used all over..

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 3:53 pm

yea but with a rom tune there is nothing i could do to affect the A/F. and since i am going through enthalpy it will be dead on. i want to monitor stuff that might go wrong becasue of my mistake.i trust the tune. becasue they have a good rep.i dont trust my self lol.

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 6:34 pm

my dad working on the hood it is almost done. i got one rocker panel done today. and now i got to do the other one. after we paitn the car we are going to mask of the rocker panels and spray them wit hthe rhino turf suff.just on the bottme part. we will do it inside the front fenders as well.drivers side all jacked up to work on the rocker panelnew parts , and the fender hanging on the wall outta the way until we get to themeninge an transmission waiting for new clutch flywheel and turbo. so they can be put back in the car.

an of course a pic of my dads MR2. it looks beasty wit hthe sheet over it. casue all you see is dual exhasut and new rims and stuff. so it looks a hella fast. even though my nissan will waste it

so i am going to get a new intercooler and radiator. still and i need new inter cooler piping becasue of the new intake manifold. so i was thinking. about doing a V mount. does any one know about setting a intercooler and radiator like that. how hard is it. and stuff. i foudn a v mount intercooler from godspeed. and i am planning a on a godspeed radiator and intercooler any how .

but i want soem input on the v mount

Post by **duffman1278** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 6:38 pm

Ummm....I can't see anything in those pics, the blackets are blocking my view haha, man this is turning out sweet!

Post by **2LO4URHO** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 6:42 pm

keep it up Idaho you can paint mine next.

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 6:52 pm

yea it is turning out awesome. i cant wait for the paint to be outta the way. then it will just be little thing that i will do. and mess around with. as my dad says i will get to play haha. since the hard work will be over.

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 7:23 pm

i wouldnt bother w/ a v mount and its pretty controversial, as many feel its worse and many feel that its good. the threads on v mount normally get out of hand, but its ur car. i have a regular fmic set up and dont run too hot at all and i have a HUGE fmic blocking the way

im sorry but i had to laugh at the last pic of the mr2. it doesnt really look beastly w/ a flower sheet over it lol and u can t see the coolness of the wheels, u can barely see the tires. and the dual exhaust is stock so i didnt think it was that cool

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 7:29 pm

i know the pic does show the Mr2 how it looks in really life. pretty crazy

well i was thinking a v mount to get stuff outta the way. so i could put the front bumper on now.

but i guess i will go with a normal set up. that was al lthe input i needed.

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 7:35 pm

lol i didnt get the comment about the mr2, but it might just be cause its late

yeah a lot of rotaries guys consider the v mount since rotaries run hotter then hades, and block the rad too much will kill things. over heating really isnt that much of an issue w/ the sr though so ur fine. there is a local sr guy that has a v mount and its pretty nice. he did the v mount and put on a dsm bov, and the paint sucks. its a nice little sleeper, the dsm bov makes no noise and u dont see an ic at all so u dont see it coming if u want i can try and get some details on his set up next time i see him

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 7:39 pm

i will just go front mount.

peicing together my own kit. from piping pro and ebay

oh lol i ment the pics dont do the mr2 justice

i figured out for my intercooler kit with bov and everything will run as much as vspl intercooler kit

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 7:47 pm

what are the dimensions for the ic ur going w/

i c what ur saying about the mr2, they are sick when done right. what does ur dad have done to his besides wheels?

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 8:11 pm

core length 24"core height 12"core thickness 4"inlet / outlet size 3"end to end length 30 1/2"

those are the specs. ther is one that is only 9 ins tall i am considering . but am not sure.

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 8:16 pm

im gonna take the measurements of mine now, i know mines pretty big and im curious

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 8:28 pm

you taking measurments right now or what.

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 8:57 pm

yeah i had to go start my laundry *** well. mine is 24 (not including end tanks)x12x3

it was too hard to measure and include the end tanks since its installed and i was standing out side w/ a ruler and my phone for light

Post by **idahotuner** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 7:12 am

yeai jsut realized the one i was looking at is 4 inches deep that is huge. so i think i will go with a little smaller one.

Post by **White Comet** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 4:09 pm

yeah dude, 3 inches deep is big 4 would be too much imo

Post by **duffman1278** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 5:47 pm

Hey idaho, when do you plan to install the gauges, cause I want to install mine but i'm a lil iffy on wiring, but I guess if you can't do it soon I'll just make a writeup this weekend if I get time.

Post by **White Comet** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 2:43 am

the wiring for gauges isnt hard at all, just follow the directions and ur golden

it wont be hard at all. i have most the sensors installed right now allready. istill need to put my motor in my car. hahabut yea i wont be instaling the actual gauges for not until after paint. and when i install my boost controller most likely. so i can do all the wiring at once.when i have the dash apart. fo a power source i am going to use the power source to my radio, since i dotn havea radio.

White Comet wrote:the wiring for gauges isnt hard at all, just follow the directions and ur golden

looking at the instructions i agree. just need to get some 18 gauge wires grounds and positives.
