Hey a couple questions, ive got an autogauge boost gauge and i managed to stuff up the end of the sensor wire that plugs in to the actual gauge >.<

Its a little white clip with 4 holes for the pins and 3 wires coming out the other end, just wondering if anyone knows where i could get another with a few wires sticking out so i can properly attach it.

Also has anyone successfully turned off the way-too-loud beep when it turns on, drives me crazy!

thanks

I have those ..never heard a beep though. And yes I managed to ruin one of those clips as well - did a bit of a hack job to reinsert it and hold it in there with bluetack (don't ask) But yeah when I looked around all the electronics stores no one had such small clip. Best suggestion was to simply get single wire clips of that size as you only have 2 wires to connect and then insert them individually. You may need to goto a electronics whoelsaler/specialist

or if that's too much hassle look on ebay for a cheap gauge ..they come branded in a few different names. I've seen them as low as $30, you could just use the wire that comes with it for your gauge

Have a look at farnell inone, or rs components.. Both suppliers have a comprehensive online catalogue. From memory it wasn't that rare a connector, I had one before I realised it was out by about 5psi and filed it.

Muting or Activating the Warning Alarm

  • To mute …immediately after you turn the key on and the gauge powers up into self test mode … hold the set button in until the alarm stops.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
