Turbo Temp Gauges Wired

Today I wired up an additional two gauges, the temperature sensors feeding into these gauges will take readings going into and out of the turbochargers.

For the exhaust pressure I am using a custom spec’d pressure sensor from Dwyer Instruments.  I’m not confident in some of the inexpensive pressure sensors I have used in the past so I decided to go with a company that has a long history of making gauges and sensors.

This particular sensor will read from 0-100 psi gauge pressure with 0.25% accuracy.  It has a 0-10V output which will work well with the Dataq datalogger that can read a 0-10V input.

With a 1/8″NPT to -4AN adapter I’m just about set to begin recording exhaust pressure with this sensor rig:

LC-2 Wired Up

Today’s progress was connecting the Innovate Motorsport LC-2 wideband air-to-fuel ratio sensor and controller to the second input on the VEI gauge.

Now I need to update my labels to correctly identify the Fuel Pressure and AFR readouts.

Trim Swap

Since I’ve been spending a good bit of time underneath the dashboard wiring up various sensors and gauges I decided to take care of swapping my aluminum trim back in the car as well as the black surround of the cup holder and hazard button.

I completed the wiring for the Fuel Pressure Sensor and gauge and they are now operational.
