Simple boost gauge solution


Recommended Posts

For those of you looking for a simple, cheap boost gauge solution, this is what I was running.

 

I bought a Scangauge II ultra compact from Amazon for $149, and a Blendmount Kit for the Scangauge II $48 http://store.blendmount.com/scangaugeii-c109.aspx to mount it above my rear view mirror. I was pleased with this result, and it also allows me to monitor IAT and water temp. Blend Mount also sells the Scangauge, but I bought it from amazon for the free shipping.

 

I ran the cable up the a pillar, and then under the headliner. Took about 15 minutes to install.

 

You can also see my blend mount for the Escort hanging down below the mirror.

Fuel pressure in our vehicles is as high as 2,200 PSI due to DI pump. You can log it with SCT LiveLink software, but really is meaningless to attempt to view it as it can be quite low in normal driving situations. In WOT situations, you wouldn't be able to watch it, drive, and then attempt to respond (get out of the throttle) fast enough.

 

I have a DashHawk that I mount with velcro on the dash lip in Flex, in front of the Tach. That way I can actually watch it when I'm driving, and when I floor it. Great out of the way location though!

I didn't realize it was that high. In that case, it was probably working, and I just thought the data was bad.
