Intercooler Temperature Monitor-Need opinions please....

[Brad D.]

I made this for the car, can you please give me your opinion.

Brad you should have made the temp in and out of the intercooler so see how efficent it is.

Maybe you should have had it read temp out of the intercooler as you know well it was working.

Did you make this or how do I get one ?

Heh I have 1 of those measuring the inside car temp and the air intake point in the front driver's side brake vent that is where wy air comes from and is the outside temp.

It does...it reads the INLET temp and the OULET temp of the intercooler.

I am putting the kit together as we speak, I'll update soon with the product specs.

I believe Davtron's is like $300.00

I estimate I could cut that price in half or less (for retail..)

Parts wise, I'll discuss that with you on a PM.

I'd like your car to be the supercharged test mule.

Brad, sounds good.

but

I just remembered. I dont have the ashtray installed anymore. Maybe we can find another creative place for it

[Brad D.]

I could do somthing custom in your sunglass holder...do you have gauges there already?

[psk145]

nope, nothing there but sunglasses. Is the display gonna be big enough to see from drivers position in the sunglasses tray?

Most definitely..the LCD numbers are a full 3/4" tall...and especially at that angle it should rock..a little ABS Plastic cut by a car stereo installation store should do the trick nicely.

Where did you actually get the gauges? I've been looking.

Thanks,

What kind of thermocouples are you using and how fast do they react? I think the best thing to do would be to use k-type thermocouples, mounted in a bung. you REALLY don't want a thermocouple going through your motor.
