Glowshift Gauge Install: Boost, Pyro, & Tranny

['94IDITurbo7.3]

the difference between 5/16 and 11/32 is 1/32. not a big deal 5/16"=10/32"

this morning i got my gauges hooked up to the wire harness. that was easy. tomorrow i will embark on the install. hopefully will have some pics of the gauges installed.

It is a big deal when the threads are too big for the probe to seat. Use the 5/16 drill. With cast iron, you can always cut a larger hole if you need to, but if you start too large it is a bear to reverse.

GAUGES ARE IN & OPERATIONAL!!!

these things look frickin' awesome.

everything went smooth. drilling for the pyro was easy and went SMOOTH.

i will try to post some pics later.

Great job Eric.
That 3 gauge harness makes things SO much easier doesn't it?

Have you gotten a egt and boost reading yet?

thanks Chris

ya the harness is nice.

egt....idle=~200......cruising @55-60mph=~400-500.....WOT=climbs fast up to 850 then does not move any farther. more fuel for me

boost is max of 5psi. gets there pretty easy. i have an up-pipe leak.

 

[Ididriver]

Sounds similar to mine.
I have a a slight up pipe leak and don't have a gasket between my intake manifold and intake hat. And crap for an ip. I get about 6 pounds right now. Can get 8 but I'm really hauling ass then.

Turn up the fuel and see what you get. Still stock down pipe?

Still stock down pipe?

yes sir. that is on the list of thing to ****.

i want to make an air box to hold a cone filter in the stock location and then run a tube to the cowl like i have now. then i am going toget a psd exhaust and modify the dp. then i will play with fuel and boost.

make sure you have excellent...excellent grounds going to each sender. I have found glowshift to have very problematic ground issues. Looks good

that's what i have heard of gs gauges. i have a pic of where i grounded mine. i found a small hole in the frame right by were the RABS valve would be. i took a wire wheel on a drill and cleaned up the frame.(man my frame is clean) everything seems to be good right now. the gauges were responsive and moved good. they were not glitchy or anything.

Cool sounds good!

the ground location is easy to get to so i can even clean it every so often.

what kind of temps are you guys seeing for the tranny. today on my drive to and from work it never got higher than 135*. 40 minute drive.
