ok, I just installed my Stewart Warner Whit faced Guages and pillar pod. I would reccommend these guages, all except for the Trans guage. They look noce though!
The probe they sent me along with the screw thingie that hold the probe in are too big for the hole on the drivers side of the trans
...I am waiting on a reply from Stewart Warner themselves in this as far as where They think I am supposed to install this. I will add some pics later this evening.
Now, what I noticed while driving, is that at 60mph or so, my pyro reads around 650* or so. 75 its around 850*. Thats at cruising. If I mash on her, The guage hits 1200* in 3rd gear at WOT
, if I let out of it at the top end of 2nd gear, it stops at 1050*. Do these temps sound right?
I didnt know that the WOT temps got that high!! I never saw it go above 1200* though.
As far as boost is concerned, I had a cracked hose going to my MAP sensor, so I replaced it when I put my boost line in. I hit 13.5-14 PSI max Boost. Is this about right? I havent taken the red line off of the wastegate yet.
And, for the above mentioned problem with the trans probe, does anyone know of a way to install the probe in another tapped hole in the trans? The probe is bout 3/8" diameter, and the screw hold thingie(my brain thesaurus isn't working right now) takes a 5/8" wrencg, and looks like a 1/2" diameter coarse threaded peice.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. THANKS!!!!
