Re: Hard time getting more MPG - 98' Sunfire
Hey guys,
Just an update here. I've recieved my new Turbogauge and installed it in the car last night. What a great little tool! One thing i'm concerned about is my IAT. I've converted the car to a WAI, but the IAT is reading about 44C (roughly 100F) when the car is warm. Does this seem cooler than it should be? P.S. The air is being drawn from the exhaust manifold. |

I'd love to know more about your experience with the Turbogauge...keep us updated. I don't suppose that, in Chinese knockoff cloning perfection, it has an XGauge function like the Scangauge II and it's just not documented...
Anyway, 100?F is a good start. You might be able to do better. Can you post photos of your WAI? |
Re: Hard time getting more MPG - 98' Sunfire
you may want to talk about delta. how much over ambient are you? if the delta is only 10 degrees, you may want to make a shield from window flashing or similar. if the delta is 60 degrees, you're probably fine. (degrees in F)
you don't want to get it set in the winter and then it top out at 250+ in the summer. I have heard that 180 is a good maximum temp to shoot for. I may have to look into this turbo gauge. it looks very interesting. |

Here is a pic of my WAI. It's basically just 3 inch flexable duct. I cut a hole into the bottom of the air box and taped it up with heavy black duct tape. The air vent coming from the bottom of the car has been blocked with a cloth rag. https://www.flickr.com/photos/7731002...928406/sizes/z |

First link is private. Second link is not very large:

Here is a quick look at the Turbogauge IV in my sunfire. I only have about 2 minutes of video (flickr has a time limit on vids) It gives you an idea of the interface. There is still lots more i'm trying to figure out on it.

You shouldn't need the car running to use the Turbogauge...do you?
Ah, found a better resolution of your photo: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6...8d2dd8ea_b.jpg |
