Damoegan's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

[Damoegan]

At last mate! My oil temp is in fahrenheit lol had to work it out

What are you holding the gauges in with mate? I have some bluetack for now

I just put some electricians tape rount the gauge to make it a snug fit, Steve

Nice pillar
Just wondering, do those gauges take a digital readout, or is the boost hooked up to the manifold? And where does the oil temp. take it readings from?

Oil temp has a probe that goes into the oil filter housing, there is a blanking plug that you remove to fit the probe into. Then just run the wiring into the cabin.
Boost gauge is plumbed in as any normal boost gauge, but the gauge has a small stepper motor that the vac line connects to that converts mechanical boost into a electrical signal.

Hope that helps mate

Looking good mate !

Looks better lad!

As Steve said, they are ProSport gauges clicky, but my boost gauge is one of the premium ones

TBH Alex, I realy dont think they will make much of a difference. Maybe if I was going hybrid I'd think about it...

 

[cupra.al]

its all air going into the inlet manifold though with less of a restriction its got to be better but i do see where your coming from.
is your pillar pod the same as hartosh1s?
does it create a larger blind spot?

 

[Damoegan]

My inlet temps are fine even in the summer (Newsouth inlet gasket helps too) and my airflow is very good (circa 190g/s) so I think I'll save the money

Yea, its the same as Seve's. It does create a slight obstruction but nothing that worrys me.

for what i've seen... wow nice work! keep it up!

 

[Ric 2001]

Looking good

Wish I'd done a readers ride.

P.S what did you need the actuator for? Original bust?

 

[Hartosh1]

Why dont you make one Ric? Would like to see some pics of platinum beast

 

[Ric 2001]

With ALL this spare time I now have.... Think I may just do one.

 

[Damoegan]

Ric, I had no boost controll at all (even with a MBC) and could not find any splits in the pipework, so thought the actuator was fooked.. Eventualy found a split in the pipework that was just inside one of the hose clips, so very hard to see..

All sorted now though

i was just wondering where you got your boost gauge and pillar monut from?

 

[Damoegan]

Boost gauge direct from ProSport Gauges and pod from Nomad Racing (I got mine from the for sale section on here though)..
