2010 Mitsubishi Strada [continued 2]

i did that, i installed a boost gauge so that i can monitor my boost, rather than rev your engine then uoshift, i look atthe boost gauge and once i see 14psi, that means i have maxed out the power from the turbo, then i upshift. having a bosst gauge is not juss for the rice effect, useful talaga.

yup im thinking of it too, kasi many people think na being rice kasi... care to share what brand you bought sa tachometer with shift light mo? easy lang ba mag install? kasi honestly, i don't really trust the mechanics here in Cebu, hehe.

Also where did you get your tach with shift lights for diesel? kasi marami dito pero puro for gas

[tancho_kuhaku]

Sir if you are only concern with the boost you can install a gauge safely but with a manual boost controller will not do any thing good, it is only use to regulate the boost if you are boosting above 20psi, if lower than 20 you dont need a controller. A boost gauge can be installed 2 ways,

1 is to install in in the hose going to the MAP sensor and
2 you can install it in the hose of the waste gate all boost gauge comes with a T-connector for easy installation.

But like what sir nismo indicated you can open the waste gate with the controller to give you more boost.

Just know this the ECU is the one regulating the boost our system have a boost limiter (safety feature), there for the 11 to 15 psi boost will be your top boost.

For tach meter with shift light for shifting if it is manual pwede din siya install only the RPM is need to be connected to the ECU since our trucks is electronic na po you need to get an electronic diagram po nag ECU to determine the right wire where you will tap the tach meter.
Just my note sir hope this give you some info po.

Okay, thanks sa clarifications sir dadz! pero i dont have any upgrades or whatsoever, i just want to see when to upshift and pag tama na yung turbo spool.

didnt know how to d it, but when i saw the mechanic how he installed the boost gauge, i think it's relatively easy. ako kasi i had a chip installed, so i decided to have a turbo gauge installed, brand is "auto gauge" taiwan made, but i didnt connect it to the parklight as the bulb inside gets too hot, i dont want the gauge to melt.

hmm ganun? maybe switching the bulbs to leds para di mainit?

ahh akala ko sa kanya, puwet lang kasi nakita ko

nakasalubong ko din yung monster truck ni sir boy25 sa mc arthur lastweek baka galing kila don manolo

bro txt mo naman ako pag may ganyan kayo na malapit baka puwede ako sumama...gusto kong tumulo laway ko hehe

sige bro txt kita....

puwede din but am afraid to pry open the boost gauge, maya masira ko pa or maaffect yun accuracy ng gauge.

im thinking of tachometers like these, are these the correct ones to install? yung with shift lights?

these tachometer gauges, not boost gauges, tachometer monitors the rpm of the engine, the boost gauges monitors the boost(psi, or kg/cm2) of the turbo.our stradas are equipped with oem tachometer in the dash so i see no need for the item you posted in your picture, maybe if you are racing, thats when you need the shift light...

Sir Jim, di pa kayo ng join? Join na kayo at makigulo sa mga lakad nila.hehe
Nakasama ko strada club sa ilocos fun run, after that, gusto ko na bumili ng strada. haha!

I'd rather have a club president who has a sense of humor rather than a "too serious" one ( di pa ako member sumisipsip na nyahahahaha).

sir dadz, kaya pala kailangang naka KNN filter para tama yung mixture ng air/fuel?

adding bigger intercooler, pwede ng 30-40psi yung boost ?
thanks

No sir for a boost of below 20 psi okay na po yung intercooler na stock kasi pag sobrang laki hindi kaya nag turbo na punuin nag pressure............using bigger inter cooler with out balancing it with the turbo boost is a mistake in a making po..........................say you are above 20psi the a one level up size nag intercooler is okay but beyond that hindi na po kailagan mag palit nag intercooler.

uy wag ganun..
walang iwanan, hehehe

[Boz]

I still can't get over pa kasi dun sa stuck up drama ko sa laoag sand dunes eh...

hehe, di pa kasi naka lift yung akin bro...pinag iisipan ko paring ng masinsinan....parang kasi parang 5 to 6 times a year lang mag tre trail eh versus the other 359 days of the year...

Bro LR, eto solusyon... LIFT, PERFORMANCE CHIP...
Ayaw mo 359 days na machong macho Strada mo...
