Chris,

trans temp is WAY overkill. The less gauges you have the better IMHO. Less weight, less complication, less to go wrong.

Alex

I agree with the sentiment that 'keep it simple' but have you ever wondered why aircraft have so many gauges?

I take the view that any information is good information and you can't have too much of it. It all comes down to what you need and what you do with it.

Most aircraft gauges are for navigation purposes;) I agree though, they do have more engine monitoring systems. BUT they are designed systems. Hours of research goes into figuring out optimal operating conditions and calibration. Slapping on an autometer of vdo gives you something to look at, but what do you actually gain?

I run a tach and oil temp, I think that is on the threshold of too many...

Alex

I like to have the extra gages like the 911 set up but that doesnt include trans temp.
overkill imo

Anyways Chris, eventually you are going to have to make space for your boost gage ;)

HAHAHA ok guys thanks I just Didn't know if I should be watching it... Soo I'll go
with Alex More weight = less Speed ;)
but YES Bryan that Boost Gage Needs to Come Soon just Need the $$$

Chris.

well, but this brings up an interesting question. Do we need trans coolers? with gear angled jets?
would this help in the life of the trans?

anyone running that type of rigging?

Ohh Baby that looks nice!

Hi

The guy must have shares in Earls, LOL

914 side-shift trans with a billet intermediate plate along with those extra lines... I'm bettin' this is for a 914 track car running a 300+hp six, yee-haw!! :D

yeah, mine may end up looking like that by the time I'm done with it. Currently looking at the alu. side plate as well as intermediate plate... but those two parts are coming in around $1K not including the oil system... however I am going to be pushing 300HP in my project... man it's going to be a challenge learning how to drive this car... carefully.
