SAMS BLACK LCR GT2871 build. THE END :( !!!

[8bit]

no m8. i have torque on my phone, its pretty much the same thing :

Sam, what kind of OBD adapter do you use with Torque? I was thinking about the Kiwi Bluetooth one, is that what you've got?

Nice gauge btw

 

[sambryant]

Any cheap ebay one will do

i stripped out the gauges today, 4 hours outside in -c temps is not good. hands are sore and i cant get my feet warm


thats one job out the way, next week the new gauge goes in

stage 2 wow must be mazing!

thanks m8, the wheel came out so much better than i thought it would. if you get one i will tell you how i did mine. redoing the red strip really finished it off nicely i think
also im loving stage 2, the car feel so different now but without taking the nice town drive away. put your foot down and just smile

so how and were are you mounting the new gauge sam.

 

[sambryant]

well its a slight change of plan, was going to fit it in the air vent, but due to the rip off price i got a nomad single pillar mount instead. i just cait believe that a plastic insert for the vent cost more than a nomad pillar.

nev lcr made mine 40 quid

new gauge fitted

hi all, just fitted my new boost gauge today. im over the moon the way it looks.
the gauge its self is very complicated, needs setting up ect. it comes with a control panel.
anyway here is a few night pics




thanks all

 

[sambryant]

now for some day time pics






the only problem im having is, the gauge seems very slow, this could be due to the fact that the vac pipe is too long, but what i have noticed, the car isnt running right. searching on idle doesnt seem to pull as hard. this could be a leak somewhere i guess. my mpg is poor, im getting around 17. any ideas guys?

 

[Murdered LCR]

Poor mpg is due to you just having a remap and 'testing out your new gauge ' 17 mpg is ok lol try disconnecting your battery to reset the ecu as it has got used to you driving like a coont , once you have left it disconnected for about 30 mins go for a normal non sprinted drive

 

[sambryant]

wish that was the case m8. just reseted the ecu on vagcom, logged block 032 , lambda 1. -2 and
lambda 2. -6
just gave bill a call at badger 5 and he thinks its a boost leak (not again).

Gauge looks spot on mate. is it the defi gauge? Sorry to hear about your boost issue, hope you get it all sorted.
