Ripped out lamco boost gauge.

Installed a prosport halo boost gauge. Not a bad piece of kit. So far so good.

Also found out the top piece of the steering wheel surround won\'t come off unless you drop the whole steering wheel or rip top piece of dash out.

So had a mare trying to undo two screws on the underside of the factory lamco gauge.

New gauge has a peak and warning setting. Havnt taken it for a decent boost yet. But on the way home my peak was 4psi lol have set the warning for 20psi

I got one of those $20 obd2 bluetooth dongles, got the free torque app, and like ermagerrd so merch infermaaaation

No really its quite interesting seeing stuff do stuff

/quote]

I has these 2 ( I paid for torque pro )

some interesting things i picked up

1kd hiace (2013) boost pressure spikes to 20psi, fuel rail pressure gets to about 20,000 psi

313 sprinter (2012) boost pressure spikes to 30 psi, fuel rail pressure gets to about 29,000 psi

I guess this is why common rail diesels can have problems with the high pressure pump

Yeah I bought the paid version the same night. Means I now have a proper distance to empty / l per 100k readout on both cars if I want it, bonus

The geek in me gets a kick out of seeing stuff like what the timing does, the g/sec through afm etc, for a few minutes anyway. Amazing how much info the stock ecu has to give out. Only thing it wont tell me is the ecu knock count, which was one thing I was curious to see. Can see if its pulling timing though which is at least something. If anyones curious its a genuinely good product, you can get it to log say timing vs rpm or boost or whatever and export it to excel, all that fun stuff. Just would need one of those subaru specific dongles I guess

On the fuel pressure side, thats nuts! I know the direct injection petrol stuff (like mazda mps motors and mitsi gdi etc) run 1500 -1800psi rail pressures but jebus thats a hike

In other news put a gauge and boost tap on the little lancer, much lol such zututututu noise very psi

Be careful, don\'t leave the dongle plugged in all the time. It is powered even when the car is off.

[ADIKT]

Must have been scary!

Glad everyones ok mate

Just went for a lunchtime cruise to see how the new boost gauge goes.

I like it. The peak functions cool, peaked at 17.8ish psi.

[DacerX]

i drove it to work and didnt set it on fire or crash it. i think thats a win for the day

depends on the ECU set up some do some dont, also has very minimal draw so no great loss to a well maintained electrical system

Bought cheap track wheels with semis, in average condition so decided to try tidy them up. Gave up trying to sand out the curbs, lack of fucks given, so will just rely on primer/paint. Now need to decide on what colour to paint them, there needs to be pink somewhere for troll factor. Was originally looking at plastidip, but apparently doesnt hold up too well with heat and brake dust.

Changed gearbox oil to Nulon 75W-90 Smooth Shift - Took longer than expected with a scissor jack and jackstands....also got lucky with the right sized open-ended spanner cos the "K" Brace gets in the way of the drain bolt..

Pulled front sway bar bushings to check out their condition - as expected need new ones. Put a dab of grease on em and reinstalled til I get new ones...

Pulled double-din kenwood headunit off to install ipod cable into CD Changer port - didnt work but now I have a permanent charge cable for my iphone 3

owend a possum at 100k\'s thankfully didnt damage bumper juts its skull

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Damn that looks tidy

Back to the group n tune, still a few bugs to iron out but its running well. Reprogrammed boost controller for 20 psi with crazy spool as my map sensor doesnt read high enough to run the existing 22psi mapping. Car hauls arse, i love it

Whats the number on your map sensor? I know some one with a 4 bar plug and play one they would cut you a deal on. People have had the stock sti ones run 24 something psi.

Oil change before Dyno day.

Opened up the BoV to vent. Oh so good.

[Johnnynz]

Couldnt start it, got the dreaded single tick. I tried jumping it, no good, different battery, nothing. I got angry and left it for an hour then tried the key again to make sure it was a single tick... It starts first pop. My car thinks its funny.

Then tried adjusting Drum Brakes on my mates 323, didnt go well but on the bright side we replaced the 2 Hub mounting bolts the mechanic left off.
