Group Buy - Gauges - Greddy, HKS, Apexi etc.

[Papa Lazarou]

Geeza, dual 52mm pods are available from Demon Tweeks. They are universal fit jobs (and not as nice as the Greddy's if I do say so myself).

[Geeza]

Uni - What!!

I won't be getting them then!

[Vez]

Righty ho....

Im presently looking at
1x Greedy Turbo Jobby with peak recall stuff
1x Greedy EGT (normal plain cause this aint gonna jump all over the shop)
1x Greedy Dual a pillar mount (S14a)

1x Undecided on colour, wanted silver but HKS egt too expensive!

A few questions:

1) Where the hell does my tweeter go? is there space in the new a pillar jobby?

2) The A-pillar dual jobbie is a 'complete' replacement part and is the same (although with two holes in the front)?

3) How Does one pay?

4) How do you fit the boost sensor (i.e. where does the sender go)

5) Where on the manifold to place EGT sensor, and dont say I have to remove this to do it, & which side of turbo?

6) Can you get the pillar trim for a Celica GT 4 (ST185) cause my mate wants to know (seen it on hypersr.com but is way more expensive).

Think im needing a boost gauge after doing the FBU (well increased the diameter of restrictor, as previously I was unable to get an indicated 150 mph )

Ermm, not 100% sure. Others with S14a have replaced the A-Pillar panel so perhaps they can advise

2) The A-pillar dual jobbie is a 'complete' replacement part and is the same (although with two holes in the front)?

Yep.

3) How Does one pay?

Cheque or Nochex (www.nochex.com) will be great. I will PM with details.

4) How do you fit the boost sensor (i.e. where does the sender go)

You need to T off the hose which connects the inlet manifold to the fuel pressure regulator. Its fairly straightforward.

5) Where on the manifold to place EGT sensor, and dont say I have to remove this to do it, & which side of turbo?

Before the turbo. Typically you would insert the sensor where all the pipes meet into one. You will have to take the tubby off to fit it unless you want shredded turbine vanes.

6) Can you get the pillar trim for a Celica GT 4 (ST185) cause my mate wants to know (seen it on hypersr.com but is way more expensive).

Had a look on that site and I think its a custom one for Celica. I can't see one listed by Greddy unfortunatetly.

Okay.....

Now looking at...(groan I know)

1 x Dark Blue HKS Boost dibber....(do they do one with peak recall)
1 x Dark Blue HKS Temperature gauge (How do mechanical ones differ from electronic - talking fitting here?)
1 x Oil temperature/oil filter adapter
1 x Greedy A pillar replacement Pod

Thought the oil temp would be more usefull than the EGT meter....

Oh yeah opend the restricter to 2.5mm, wheel spin in second now

Need boost gauge

[Papa Lazarou]

Vez, a HKS Peak & Hold boost gauge IS available. It will cost £202 for the 60mm version.

The temp gauge should be pretty much the same as the electronic one to fit. I don't think that Greddy oil filter adapter will work with the HKS mechanical gauge though. HKS have their own range of gauge fittings - I'll check if something equivalent is available.

[Vez]

Just awaitin the price on that fixture and ill then decide between Greddy or HKS

[Papa Lazarou]

Vez, sorry for delay. Only thing HKS list for installing the oil temperature sensor is a M12 x P1.25 hex bolt and copper washer. Its £5. Oil drain plug replacement possibly?

[tubstar]

I have an autometer 2"5/8 gauge. What size is that in mm for an s13 piller mount.

[Papa Lazarou]

Thats 66.68 mm. Closest would be 60mm but don't know, you'd have to do some trimming possibly....

[tubstar]

If that was definately possable I would go for one. But dont want to waste 70 quid finding out. Has anyone done this?

Cheers.

[Vez]

Looking at this it would probably mean welding into the sump; which mean removing (probably some suspension too), de-greasing, taking to our ali welding bloke, reasembling with new gasket...blah, blah, blah.

From a little research it seams the HKS would go in some form of reseviour...i.e. an acusump, or dry sump resevour...

So

Decided to go for Greddy gauges, but have read somewhere you can get them in silver (the peak/hold versions) this would be preferable??

[Papa Lazarou]

Any more for any more???

Can you get these (sorry to be different)

[Papa Lazarou]

Sorry mate, I couldn't get those via the Jap suppliers. They seem to offer a direct mail order service though, so it shouldn't be a problem to just order them yourself.

[Jim]

1 * Greddy 60mm Turbo meter with Peak/Hold
1 * Greddy 60mm EGT with peak/hold
