and just out of curiosity whats your top speed as for some reason mine only gets to 100kmh even with 9psi boost 3" exhaust and sits on about 2700rpm |
Something seems wrong there. What tire size and gearing you have wombat? Also, what engine is this on, what transmission?
I've got stock gears (3.7) and am on 32" tires. With correction to my speedo, running at 100km/hr, I'm at 9psi and sitting at 2100 RPM. If I put the peddle down, my boost goes immediately to 11psi and rises to 13psi at 2700 RPM where I can hit 125-130 km/hr. This is with a 3B, H55 transmission.
Looking at the thermoguard website, that kit is very expensive at $265 AUS. I paid $99 USD for my Pyro gauge (
summit racing) which came with the K-Type thermocouple. All I needed was some wires for the lighting and the power supply (about $8 max)
