An N/A guy looking to the darkside. Help me build boost!

Maybe the garrett turbo 35r type turbo that flows nearly 1000hp? Good Spoolage, and rapes up top as well(a turbi you can grow into so to speak)..

Here is a comparison between the GTX3582R turbine wheel and the the new GTX3584R turbine wheel.......

The new turbine wheel looks much thinner at the leading edge especially at the root. It also looks like the blades don't have as much curve to them. They also say that the turbine wheel is made out of inconel, hasn't it always been made out of inconel?





GTX3582R PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Compressor Wheel Inducer: 62.5mm Compressor Wheel Exducer: 82.5mm Compressor Wheel Trim: 56 Turbine Wheel Inducer: 68.0mm Turbine Wheel Exducer: 62.3mm Turbine Wheel Trim: 84

GTX3584RS PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Compressor Wheel Inducer: 67mm Compressor Wheel Exducer: 88mm Compressor Wheel Trim: 64 Compressor Housing A/R: 0.72 Turbine Wheel Inducer: 68mm Turbine Wheel Exducer: 62mm Turbine Wheel Trim: 84

Finishing up some shopping, have a gauge question.

3 most important gauges to have? I planned to have oil temp, water/coolant temp, and oil pressure in 3 gauge pod, with Eboost2 and Zeitronix in the rallyroad steering column pod. Should I have EGT instead of oil temp or something else?

Also looking for recommendations on a 3 gauge pod.

You seen my 3 guage pod? I think justin has some pics he took at mpact

Yeah, it was pretty much perfect lol. Just dont remember what gauges or where you got it from.

[someguy2800]

On a non track car I would have oil pressure, coolant temp, and fuel pressure.

I thought the eboost2 or zeitronix would measure fuel pressure? I should check the descriptions

Here are a few pics of Anthony's setup, I like it.

Yea this is pretty much perfect. What cluster setup is this Anthony?

I honestly wouldn't mind an A pillar setup, I just don't see a single E36 Sedan 3 pod A pillar setup for sale.

I think you need to buy the single and duel to make a triple. But be advised, if running hefty electronics at the Pilar it gets real tight in there. For instance, back in the day I had a simple boost gauge and a wide band, wasn't too bad. But changed to having an Eboost2, WB , and Water injection gauges on the Pilar. Man its a super tight fit, loads of wires and big pita.

[pbonsalb]

I have been running a double and a single on the pillar for about 10 years. It works, but try to plan out the wiring so it is as simple as possible since space is tight. I have oil pressure, eboost and afr on the pillar, and aquamist, fuel pressure and oil temp in the former storage area below the HVAC control.

I think the best solution would be a single digital gauge with 6 lines of horizontal readout for about 6 different sensors, but I would still want my eboost2 and aquamist so I would still need 3 gauges. I have seen some clean installs of the AFR in the fuel economy gauge, but I like it more in the line of sight. Heads up display would be great. The zeitronix and innovate and other logging systems have some appeal, plus they have the ability to program warnings. I am not sure I will bother setting one up, but I may try the AFR failsafe that AEM makes. The more power you have, the more you are at risk, and failsafes will reduce the risk of harm. I melted an engine about 8 years ago when I ran out of fuel while supercharged and racing a Nissan GTR. I had it by a fender to 145+, when the big oil cloud appeared in the rear view and I lost power. I was concentrating on the road, not the gauges. A warning alarm or failsafe might have helped.

Being turbocharged wouldve helped too because you wouldve whooped it and let off sooner lol

Thats the LeatherZ panel with Autometer rings, just needs some trimming once you get the angles oriented. BTW those are Autometer ES gauges.

Are the Autometer rings what angle them in the desired direction? Link to said rings?

I see some VDO U bracket option for the panel, did you order those also?

[Da Infammus 1]

Well now there's a top mount friendly radiator and reservoir option, just exorbitantly expensive. Hopefully mishimoto will copy it and made a more affordable version LOL.

They copied a proven Chikinhed design. Mine is still better.

If yours isn't 1200 I'd buy one from you lol. I was expecting closer to half that.

[Da Infammus 1]

Ordered a ton of stuff for the car, still looking for a cooling reservoir solution that won't cost 1200 lol.

[pbonsalb]

Use the Euro one. Had one for 10 years.

Stock works fine also -- plenty have used them though I prefer the Euro.

[rajicase]

Yeah why do we need to have a $1200 coolant res set up? Vast majority run stock or retrofitted stock set ups...

[Da Infammus 1]

I don't want the Euro one, as it'll interfere with my downpipe. I guess I could concoct a way for the regular US one to work, but I'd much rather have a clean, secure solution.

[rajicase]

I thought you were going bottom mount with the steed?

Chikinhed made a nice one, but you can probably adapt something to fit the drivers side. Top mount mani have their advantages and disadvantages.

[E36 HateR]

Wait, top mount downpipe doesn't interfere with the euro expansion tank. Thats what I use.
