Outer Limits 4x4 Board

package received! thanks heaps mate, i'd like to see where people in patrols are mounting them too, shame i wont actually be able to test mine for a few months (damn cab cuts )

this is where i mounted mine in the GQ. Am going to put a light somehere in the instrument cluster for the alarm.

i have not mounted the probe yet. does any one have any ideas how to get this grub screw out with out wrecking the thread. i have tried with an allen key but it is f!@king tight.

yeah i'll be honest and say that was just where i was thinking of putting mine, just gotta do a bit of plastic fab work hehehe. And i'll be honest and say good luck with that plug, she's probably mighty rusted in place but lotsa WD40 or something like that plus heat so maybe let it soak with the wd for while then heat on the manifold around the plug.

whats happening with the second order?

Mine has turned up top job thehanko for getting the group buy organized and posted out.

just have to start hacking into the MK and fit it.

I got my pyrometer in the post today

Mounted the pyro bellow the boost gauge. (makes keeping an eye on it easier)


I've mounted the probe just after the turbo.


Thanks thehanko

exV8er - that is EXACTLY what i was thinking about on my way to work thismorning!!!! CREEPY.

Although i'll probably make up a mounting block and stick it to that little tray-thingy with some double sided industrial pads.

What can i say - great minds think alike.

Coxy

would have mounted mine there but my boost gauge is mounted on the dash not on the pillar. oh well, we cant all win.

mine arrived yesterday. will have to unpack and check it out when i get a chance this week

exv8er, how hard did you find the dump pipe to drill into? and what size drill bit and tap did you use? i know i could figure these things out myself but i'm lazy

The dump pipe was already drilled & taped, had bung in it so cant help you there sorry.

poo... well i've been thinking about getting a custom dump pipe made up, shucks looks like i'll have no choice now

Anyone know if these are reading as degrees celcius or degrees yank when shipped, also have found that with the probe most the way in that the reading just keeps climbing gunna back it out so as it is just in see if that helps.
Cheers Damo

they are degrees farenheit when they are shipped. mine was anyway, but they can be changed to celcius easily.

2ns shipment is in transit at the moment so not far away.

we didnt get the numbers up enough for the second shipment so I have bought the extra ones out of my own cash.

So if anyone else wants one pm me. you can have them for the same money he charges direct but posted in aus.

im off on a trip the next couple of days then im going to fit mine in my ln 106 hilux on monday.

My clock doesnt work so im going to fit it in that spot - the clock also has a headlight dimming wire so it will be a super easy instal in there.

humm I might be able to buy into this now.

I'll send a pm later on.

Sorry but can you tell me how to do it please.
Read the instructions but could work it out

DUH worked it out


How many more is there on offer from second shippment may require another if possible

Hi, just curious for what reason would you have a pyrometer gauge?

Let's you know before your engine melts

Yeah but what are the benefits of having a pyrometer when you have a engine oil and water temperature gauges?

A pyrometer shows exhaust gas temperature and will let you know if your running to rich, running to rich puts out more heat and will shorten engine life.
where as the oil gauge shows oil pressure and water gauge shows water temp which can show all is ok even when exhaust temps are way to high.
and can melt pistons and valves ect .

Thanks.

That makes a lot more sense. What would you do when you've got two exhaust, do you just mount the temperature probe on one of them or do you mount two?

Depends on what information you are trying to monitor and why. Some V8 racecars will run 8 of them. One for each cylinder.

Why do you ask about 2. If you have a V8 then 2 would be good to make sure both sides are fueling the same. Otherwise 1 on a 6 or 4 cylinder is sufficient for what we are talking about here. As long as where you mount it gets a fairly consistent reading of all cylinders.

OK the second order has arrived and will be posted out today.

As I said i had to order a few xtras

I still have available

2 x red face with long probe $120 inc delivery

1 x green face with long probe $130 inc delivery
