Just wondering if anyone out there has looked into putting the Typhoon boost and oil pressure gauges into a XR6T. What wiring would be required? My guess is they would run from the dash, but I really have no idea..

Thanks for the help.. Might be time for a new Mod doc...

Cheers

boost would be piss easy easy!
2 wires and a tube...

oil pressure well u might have to put aftermarket in there..
maybe get the typhoon oil pressure sender and the gauge and may work!

the wirign for the lighing is piss easy

check on fordxr6turbo.com, those guys would proble be able to tell you because theres heaps of people wanting to do the same. IMO the typhoon guages don't give a very accurate reading of boost as they are in bars not in PSI.

i agree there GlennXR6T, i think i remember something about SS making an aftermarket gauge holder??

tjb45 go for some aftermarket gauges, look better IMO...

Whether the scale is defined in BARS or PSI has nothing to do with the accuracy of a pressure gauge. It is the construction of the gauge followed by the graduations that define it's accuracy (accuracy is define as +/- %age of reading).

It would be interesting to know the accuracy of the typhoon boost gauge - anyone know ?

Yeah as ItchiOne said ... the difference between BAR and PSI is just a scaling difference ... just convert it ... 1 BAR = 14.7 PSI (as close as you'll get without too many decimal points ... LOL)

Has nothing to do with accuracy.
I guess one way to test it is to flow test it and see what the guage reads compared to the flow bench readings.

nar dont need that u need a syryinge and a known wieght
basically get a tube attached the the botom of the syrinage and that to the boost gauge
add the known weight to the top of teh syriange and work it out from there
forgot how
it was in some ricer mag yrs back the guy tested 4 gauges for accuracy

yeah thats what i meant.... i just didn't know how to put it into a sentence.. sorry.

I don't like the SS inductions guage holders. I'd get the typhoon guage holder and an aftermarket boost guage and it will be sweet.
