the only thing i dont have for my fp gauge is the line.....

 

I though you said you had the line you needed before?

Pyro gauge is installed in the pod with leads for the light. Got out too late tonight, failed to obtain 90* elbows Tomorrow...
Am I missing something with these fittings for the boost gauge? How do they create a good fit/seal on the tubing? Instructions are approximately 96.5% useless, the fittings are definitely makin me look like an eight grader workin on trigonometry

Bad news: Backlighting on my XM radio display seems to have gone to meet it's maker.

Good news: I might be able to swap it out with the one at work and have an almost new one again

Best news, I just got me a fresh box of icey cold Miller Lites

 

i got the braided line, and the isolater. but i didnt get 1/8 plastic line to go to the gauge....

 

I might be able to help that cause, when I had to get fittings for my brother's boost, I ended up with an extra 10' of the little clear guy. I don't think he needs it, so should be no prob to pass it on to you. BUT, then what about fittings, you got those guys?

 

I happen to be having on e helluva time finding the connectors, HD doesn't carry them that small, and can't seem to locate them any where else, the ones that came with the used gauges are crimped and I don't trust them not to leak when installed tiny little compression fittings is I guess what they are for 1/8th tubing. oh well someday........

 

woohoo! Harrington's on 23 N has the boost gauge kit, with copper line....... Steve, if this is what you need, they do have another kit in stock fittings and all 14 bux! And they are open till 4PM so get a move on it man !

 

oooooh, well that is good to hear. Looks like some storm rollin' into town... better clear out by morning

So we are still @ Steve's then right? didn't seem like many chimed in about it. anybody heard from Tom lately? seems to be MIA here

 

Tom is here, and has to bow out of tomorrow. I got a chance to do a yard cleanup job tomorrow in Verona, and I could use the money (as all of you know) I plan on starting early, and if I finish in enough time, I will try to meet up with you guys. If you guys go out for some grub afterward, let me know as I will try to meet up.

Mike, I saw that you called today, sorry I didn't answer. I was doing a moving job and didn't finish until about 1/2 hour ago. I am pretty beat, was in a U-Haul with no A/C and can you believe it, 5 SPEED TRANNY!! Got the runt of the litter folks. Anyway, I am off to nap for awhile before dinner with the future in-laws.

Cheers guys, enjoy the day tomorrow.

 

can't say I blame ya for taking the op for makin some money, but as for a bow? that was more of a curtsie ! Anybody plan on giving this a bump on the pay to play site? junior, where ya been, awefull quiet........... I have not yet grabbed a tap for the pyro probe or the right sized drill, I should have taken the pyro bolt with me to Lowes, the most likely had it, I just did not know for sure./.........

 

Well, sorry to hear that you might not be in attendance tomorrow, but given the option of money, I would probably opt out as well, sad fact of life... Money kind of makes our decisions some times.

Planned on getting more accompleished today, but did not get back in time. stupid people with their birthday parties and kegs of Miller Lite...
did get my 90* fittings, but this thing is still going to be a battle and a half.... better hit the hay for a bit, got some work to do before heading down 23 in the AM...

 

man coffee seems to be flowing slow this morning, but it has seperated my eyelids from my cheeks...... well almost enough to type......... guess I will be gathering my stuff and heading up in a few, see all who show there.

 

Yo goodeye. check your pm's for the location of your garage door opener, must have dropped off of you in my truck on the way to lowes........ dunno if he got any readings on the way home, but for some reason, Pat's gauges did not want to co operate and give any readings initially. ?????//

 

FP never woke up, but presumably it is there still, cause I made it home. Boost came ot life, but I feel it has a leak in it. Doesn'y seem like it is reading high enough, as soon as I let off the pedal, it flatlines until I get into it. Seems like it should be reading higher, at 60, if I am not accelerating it reads 0? granted, it is not lugging or pulling hard, but I can still hear that sucker whistlin me tunes, so seems like it should read SOMEthing?!
what a day, Mike you were right. I made it home, started straightening things up and my right knee was telling me to sit down for a while... stupid jumpin in&out of the truck...

thanks for all the help fellas, guess I will do some reading and inspecting... get the gauge lights to come to life, see if i can find some FP...

 

we should have put the boost fooler in, then it would be readin higher. still no word from Steve about his remote, i pm'ed him but...........

 

yeah, unfortunately, he won't get the PM until he gets back home again after his meeting or what-have-you. Which will presumably be after doing his running for the day, too bad we didn't have his #, but eh well.

no change in the functionality, but I did get the lights juiced up, gonna run them with the dimmer, super easy hook up, but I NEED to seal up around the top of the pod ('member where I said I was gonna weatherstrip?) because the light from behind the gauges gives a white glow from the crack. not cool, totally stealing the shine from the pretty blue

who here has a boost gauge? when you let off the pedal, does the needle instantly drop? seems like the pressire would be retained for a bit, but maybe I am just bein' n00bish here



eidt: Been reading around, and looking at my paperwork. looks like I should have been persistant to fill the FP line with coolant. QUITE certain that is a problem I don't want to touch that pod again for the life of me
