Amjad Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Depo gauges are very good quality Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ah cool, I heard akyakapotters wideband broke shortly after he got it so dunno whether to get one of theirs or an innovate?As for the boost and oil pressure, not sure whether to go for the ones like yours Amjad orLike this for ease of viewing at speed:/>http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U5p3017EAhU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Innovate are very good, but they do need calibrating every so often just to ensure they are on point. The good thing with the innovate stuff is you can data log with it, if your not going to be doing this or can't be bothered to calibrate it every 12 months, the AEM is another good option.

A L 3 X Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 How do you go about calibrating it mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) You have to remove the sensor from the exhaust, hold it in free air. They do come with instructions to tell you how to do it. Been a while since I've used an innovate, can't remember if theres a button on the gauge to press or not lol.Edit:Just had a quick look, it seems as if the LC-1 can calibrate itself to compensate for wear, temp changes etc.If you want the gauge kit the MTX-L will need calibration.Seems as if the other gauge kits such as the DB, G2, G3 etc come with the LC-1 type sensor, which automatically calibrates.Take your pick, theres plenty lol:http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/MTS.php Edited November 12, 2012 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Theres loads lol, I would prefer self calibrating but have no idea what to go for other than thaT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 AEM is god and you can log if required an no calibration Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 ooh, that sounds good then, how much we talking and is there any bad points about that one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 They have to mounted in the exhaust somewhere near the gear box area, apart from that they are fine, mine works a treat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I heard it was like 35 inches away from turbo or something?I was gonna get the bung welded shortly after the decat? Only thing is ive seen a lot of these come with mild steel bungs, can you get an SS one as my fujitsubo is all SS and dont wanna fuck it by welding a mild bung in?

AdamB Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The innovate LC-1 sensor doesn't require calibrating.AEM is a good choice and little cheaper than the innovate, although I'm sure you can't log with it.The distance varies between brands, usually around 35/36 inches away from the turbo, which puts it right under the gearbox.

A L 3 X Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Ah I see, do any come with a stainless boss to weld in as I don't fancy butchering my exhaust and putting a mild one in lol? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
