I thought I read somewhere about a HPCR Fuel pressure gauge that reads rail pressure but I can't find anything on it in my search.

Is there such an animal and if so where do I get a couple?

Thanks
James

 

If you can...do a search on the TDR for "rail pressure gauge" under the 3rd gen performance forum.

There is a guy on there selling them. The gauge is a SPA brand and connects, inline with the factory sensor. Several of my customers run them and like them.

Oh, I guess you could try contacting SPA as well.

Oh, I have a way to increase the pressure some too.

Thanks Don,
I did the search and found it..... I'm off to go read it.

Can anybody Give me a website to order something like this..

I don't have an account on TDR...

Thanx!

 

This isn't the spa guage but a new optix that Dleno is working on.

I like this one better. I am just a sucker for analog guages. What are we doing to cap off the relief valve. Any ideas. Thanks Cliff

 

can you try posting that link up again when i click on it it says page cannot be displayed
thanks

 

If the link above doesn't work try this.

that one works thanks Lucas

 

I just e-mailed the guy..

This will be awesome if they can actually come through with a gauge since I've already got all DiPricol Gauges..

 

I talked to Doug last Friday and said the new gauges are almost ready.

yea I'm working hard on it. Personally I am big fan of the SPA digital gauges -- I have eight channels (four duals) in my truck already. But for rail pressure I just really like the analog. I've been studying the rail for ever, it seems, and I just really like the way the analog gauge tells me what's going on real time. the needle is fast enough to follow the likes of the TST "draining" the rail with stock injectors on level 8/8, for example, but it doesn't get fooled by digital spikes and noise. In my experimentation, I found that a peak-detected spike of 26,500-27,000 was often hard to correlate with the associated power levels. So I tuned the front end of this gauge for just the right speed.

The gauge uses the factory sensor and hooks up just like a pressure box. no splicing or tapping. stacks with anything. So you have an independant measurement that can be used with anyone's pressure box, downloader, etc.

Its fascinating to see the behavior of pressure fooling, and how aggressive pressure boxes work. Also reveals the saturation point of the factory sensor and makes it pretty clear what numbers can be read directly from the sensor.

I chose the Pricol to make this gauge because of their stepper motor technology and Optix lighting. I hope everyone finds it as useful as I have. At least I hope I recover my expenses! .

I got an update from Di-Pricol yesterday. PM me for details

 

OK...where's mine? LOL.

I hope all is going well.

 

yes! going well. delayed by about 2 weeks but going well!
