Anyone tried Scintex boost gauge?

jackass · Dec 22, 2009

I'm thinking of getting both boost and EGT digital gauges made by Scintex:

SCINTEX Biofuels Australia - 12V Digital Boost /Fuel /Oil Pressure Gauge Kit
and
SCINTEX Biofuels Australia - 12V Digital Pyrometer/ EGT Gauge Kit

Has anyone fitted these, if so comments please.

How does the digital gauge read as opposed to a boost dial?

cheers

i personally prefer non-digital boost gauges as you can see the rate of rise/drop easier because if you're boosting from like 3 to 17 in a few seconds it'll just be a blur on the digital readout whilst you can see the needle go up quicker and quicker as the boost comes on faster.

just my preference...

their egt probe diameter of 4.8mm is a bit on the thick side. thicker it is the slower it reacts.

From the Scintex website...
K type thermocouple with exposed tip junction for fast response time.
Seems the probe diameter may not be the issue.

Good point about the dial gauge, maddogrc.
