I have been working on where to place my AEM Ugo wideband 02 and boost gauge for some time. I was almost ready to just say heck with it and use the center air vents to mount the two gauges when I found this. radar-mirror.com They can place the gauges inside the mirror with full functionality and a more discreet way of getting the info! What you guys think?
It would be a bit harder to to see while driving and keeping your eyes on the road. I hope to discretely add two high intensity LEDs into the side column for emergency, such as car goes lean and led lights up, fuel pressure drops and led lights up ect....






BTW found a jag rear chunk going to pick it up today to have my welded diff for the track. Dynoing the car and getting some good numbers on the track in a week before project I hope I don't F it up begins

Edit: sorry for the horrid spelling in the title I wont let me edit it. What I get for typing to fast!

 

Since you at least cared, fixed it for you.

 

LOL thanks I appreciate that. I will preview it in the future!

 

You want to look at just one thing? When?

Don't you want to record it and others all the time you choose (I guess off the line) so you can play them back and study them?

 

Yes I will use data logging as well but I can not physically monitor 20 different things in a 1/4mile pass or during a spirited street run. You pick the most important and go with it. This is for catching a problem during a run not tuning or development.

My race car displays oil pressure, fuel pressure and temp on the burn out then I switch the display to oil, and rpm only during a run. Now I monitor 38 channels but I can not be checking on the EGTs for 8 different cylinders in the 6sec it takes to get down the track, we look at that once were back to the pits. Same thing here just the basics, AFR, Boost, Fuel pressure on a light so its good or its low for nitrous use.

 

That is pretty neat. How about doing a HUD?

 

A HUD would be a good option as well. I know a few gauge manufactures that offer one but it is a clunky box that sits on the dash, not very appealing.
The goal for me is a balance between practicality and appearance. I could easily just go with gauge pods on the pillars but it would not look right in the jag IMO, even covered in suede!

I need to monitor a few functions since I keep adding boost and pushing the denso, with the ported blower I am looking at doing a lower crank now and maybe a 1.5# upper for 18psi.

 

Yikes! Isn't that the upper limit for a roots? Also, are you doing the porting? Can you get pics?

 

Yea 18psi is where the 112 is taped out on the cobras and lightnings. the intercoolers, top discharge etc... may make it to much for our setup not to mention the ECU.

I am going to put the ported blower on with the stock lower and see how it dose. then add the lower and see what I get. if its to much I can just run the 15psi I am running now with the added CFM of the port and see what that gets me. The port alone with no tuning makes 35-40rwhp on other 112s.

I am having it ported by a friend who has great results with his ports. Here is a pic (not mine) to give an idea of what it looks like finished. I will post pics of mine when its back to me.
