Can't wait to see it

 

I cant wait until its finished and I stop pumping money into.. OH wait that will never happen.. Evetually more boost will be wanted.. I think I made out like a Bandit tho..

 

Soo.. Gauge question guys. Basically the most expensive parts left to get In my swap. Once I get them, I'll probably install the pumps, gauges, and HE & pump over Christmas. I just bought an autometer boost Gauge with sender but needs the fitting. Also got a matching autometer trans temp gauge. Pending pics, I'm buying a three pod pillar mount and matching carbon fiber series autometer trans temp, boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge. They are bare mechanical gauges with no plumbing/wiring. I can't pass up the deal on these either. Whatever I don't use, you guys are welcome too or I'll unload it cheap. So, will I be able to find the install kits for each of those gauges separate from autometer? I want a trans temp Gauge for sure and will need I wideband, so what would you suggest I get? A fuel pressure gauge or one to monitor iat temps? I already have an SCT 3015 and won't be upgrading to a monitoring device any time soon so I'll have a lot of gauges running. How would you run 4-5 gauges and what location is most convenient for each? By the end of this my truck is going to look like a ricer on the inside

 

Get a SCT livewire TSX and monitor it that way.

 

To monitor which parameters? I also don't want to drop $600 in a tuner when I only need about $200 in Gauges. A visible tuner also seems to be a magnet for thieves lately I know I "need" a boost gauge and wideband, and I "want" a real trans temp gauge. But would suggest another one to monitor fuel pressure or IAt temp? Or...just get a boost and wideband and sell my tuner, get a livewire that will monitor trans, fuel pressure, and IAt temps

Yes, I keep editing my posts with a boatload of questions

 

IAT, Boost, and trans can be monitored by a scan tool, Torque Pro, and the livewire.

 

Scan gauge II?

 

Not as easy to see.. Where as with a Livewire, android or iPhone you can monitor multiple pids easily.

 

I have some spare brass fittings from previous installs. Let me know what piece you need and I'll look to see if I have it.

 

my iPhone is pretty questionable so I will look at eventually upgrading to a tuner with monitoring capabilities: so really a Livewire is my only option lol Also, has anyone ran underdrive pulleys or is it all hype? I found a new BBK set in the box for $75 locally Edit. Pulleys would be pretty useless with an L swap. I'd need a custom crank pulley to run them and if I'm worried about having an L swap built for towing, underdrive pulleys would undermine my efforts. Slowing down the waterpump doesn't sound fun either
