Hello out there. heres a few pics of my car. alot of time and love went into building this baby. bought in 1999 from original owner who ordered the car. he worked at a detail shop and it was 1/2 mile from his house. when i bought it it had 19,000 miles on it. my daughter was the first one to sit in the back seat. he installed the leather interior.

That car is ****. [sm=smiley14.gif]

 

Sorry, I just had to use that expression somewhere...

 

damn thats a ton of gauges

 

the car is nice, but do u really need all those gauges?

 

Just a head's up : You've got... uh... one too many tachs in there...

 

Still lovin' the car, though.

And please do tell what exactly you use all those guages for (any redundancies?)

 

when you have over $8,000.00 in the turbo and engine you really do want to know whats going on. I dont have any thing I dont need.
oil press-fuel press-oil temp-water temp-trans fluid temp-air/fuel ratio-boost psi-volts-5” tach

 

Ditto

LOL my dad just told me the other day to start saying that and i might bring something back...lol

 

if you want to know what they are for:
oil press-the turbo is cooled by oil , no pressure no turbo bearings.
fuel press-to low of pressue = detination = big boom
oil temp-turbo housing is 1500'f and that will trash the oil and the rest of the engine, Thats why I also have a moroso 5.5Qt aluminium oil pan, to disapate heat and more oil= more protection.
water temp-under boost the whole engine heatsd up fast and if u overheat the coolant bye-bye $200 head gasket.
trans fluid temp-Okay this one isnt critical but trannys arent cheap and the fluid does heat up.
air/fuel ratio-to lean=BOOM.
boost psi-used to set boost and make sure psi doesnt spike or else BOOM.
volts-I only put about 3000miles a year and the battery doent like that.
5” tachused mainly for the shift lite. overrev=BOOM

i love to school young-uns
any more questions?
