Goal is to avoid it looking like a Pacchinco machine. If its gauges, the center shelves go b-bye. Ergonomically, up the “A” pillar is the best for a quick glance. Also a cop magnetthough. But I’m not sure I want the glaring al the time. Once it’s set, unless something goes bump…
For My O2 setup I’m relying on a JAW. That’s a brainchild (among others) of a tuning wiz named Alan Tu in Canada. He’s engineered a DYI W/B getup running off a standard Bosch LSU W/B O2 sensor and output to a back-lit digital readout (I think it will drive a traditional gauge to). Plugs into your laptop and (O.S.) software & lets you do more than you want. It also will log 2 additional, standard 5v inputsIn addition, compute maps for two, 0- 5v outputs from the A/F data. (5v is pretty much what all the ECU stuff runs at).
He sells them complete with software in 2 forms, Bag o parts with directions or assembled, $70 & $90 respectively. Throw in the $60 Bosch LSU W/B O2 sensor (Amazon) and your looking at $130-$150 and some finger grease…an ‘elluva platform.
Want more? It gets better:..
My EGT (exhaust gas temp) in it’s current form is a used Alcor. It’s a 2 sensor variety. I plan on putting one sensor on each header. Who’s Alchor? They’ve been building these things since WWII…for airplanes, Normal, supers, & turbos, Turns out the vast majority of EGT setups (planes, trains, & autos) use the same method. At their core is a Type “K” probe, all are the same physically, functionally in there output. Difference is the durability. The Alcor is designed for aircraft, one elluva lot more durable (surprise). Ebay; bad add, misspelling; $27
To the “k” type EGT sensors I can also add a $35 “amplifier” and feed the amped probe data into the JAW for readout on the laptop (along with the AFR and whatever else I plug into it) & log the data.
So for $217 I get EGT, W/B o2, software for readouts, logging & ,manipulation plus 2 gauges, one digital and on analogue. In another window I will have my SS R4 software running to tune my AIC, timing & WI. Oh yea.. another $50 for a smaller SC pulley to get the SC spinning..
Sleepy yet?
