Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Just ordered the digital dual gauge I have been looking at: http://spatechnique.com/contactus.html (model 106)
This has an internal limit light on the face of the gauge (say set for 1300 degrees) and an external indicator limit light (say set for 350 degrees). The two limit circuits can be programmed to unique values. With the addition of a diode, they feel I can drive an ignition relay to make this into a cool down controller.
The guage also has peak hold features, although I am not clear on how easy it will be to reset them. The sampling time for the guage updates can be programmed and the peak hold feature only samples real time values (so no missed peaks).
I will report on how bright the back lighting is, since it can only be on or off. It is reported to be a non-obtrusive amber color, but I will let you know.
The gauge needs an amp to drive to pyro temps, which they will gladly sell you.
The boost pressure side of the gauge is wired to a sending unit that terminates with a threaded fitting.
As they are not yet 'attacking' our market and have thus far been building for the racing industry, a finished kit for the Dodge is not yet on the table.
They tell me that they will soon advertise in the TDR and the website, so they will be supporting our hobby with some ad money.
I plan to use a similiar circuit to what the other turbo controllers use to keep the engine running with the keys removed.
Email me if you want details as the project is completed.
I will not mount to a cup until I see how bright the gauge is (i. e. bright will get the hole by the radio, non-bright will get the pillar)
I figure I am at about $360 for the gauge, temp amp, TC but will have to add a mounting cup/pillar and the tubing hardware to go from the engine to the pressure sender, along with the circuit components to keep the engine running once I have the relay command from the new gauge.
This will thus end giving me a triple duty device: pyro,boost, & turbo cooldown
