Does the multi-guage have anything for programming your own 0-5V inputs?

Phunk would you mind ordering a second sender? Even if the second one ships later it'd be worth it to me to keep a spare since I'll have two on the car (oil and fuel) and it appears to be a pain to get one.

... got mine installed this weekend. Looks pretty good in there ... I ditched the little plate as opposed to grinding the tab off. One thing I notice is after sitting all night the gauge always reads zero ... starts right up and I see no leaks. When idling it reads about 40-42.

Phunk. Are we supposed to Teflon the gauge or not before we install it on the multi-fitting?

Yup! Teflon on any NPT thread for the most part. Some are dry seal but generally not.

try to keep the tape or putty away from the first thread though when you do it so it can't break down in the fitting and plug one of your injectors

This is always good practice.

Agreed, always good practice to be aware of your excess teflon tape. We only want it on the threads, not inside the plumbing.

Oh, and partly on-topic, for those who didnt know... stop using teflon tape on AN flare fittings! AN flares seal on the 37 degree flare, not the threads. AN O-Ring fittings seal on the o-ring against the receiving chamfer. AN washer fittings seal on the washer. Basically, straight threads = no tape, and tapered threads = tape. I am trying and cannot think of any application where straight threads are expected to provide the seal... and if the threads are not expected to seal, then no need for thread sealant.

Just got off the phone with Charles, awesome guy to talk with made me want to spend more money. Just FYI they do not have any raw billet mounts till next week. They have plenty of anodized ones.

Phunk. What fuel pressure should we look for idle cruising and say 10lbs. Still running the stock rail

it should actually have 52 psi 100% of the time if you are not running a return fuel system.

if you have upgraded the fuel pump, it wouldnt be strange to see a little pressure spike at idle. if the idle pressure spike is really high, there are ways to correct it. A spike of up to 6psi or so at idle I would ignore since the o2 feedback will be able to handle this. Past that, I would consider making some modifications if there are issues with consistency in idle A/F.

it also wouldnt be strange to see pressure fall a few psi towards redline on boosted cars as restrictions in the factory plumbing start to become noticable. Since the regulator is before these restrictions, the regulator doesnt see the pressure drop or react to it. This is one of the reasons for a RFS and putting the regulator up front. More than 4-5psi of fuel pressure drop is where i would strongly consider upgrading the fuel system. Fuel pressure drop means you have reached the edge of the existing fuel system, and the edge is unpredictable and inconsistent, and some days the drop could be quite greater than others and start causing big problems in the A/F ratios near redline.

Ok so got the gauge installed. Here's what I'm seeing on the first run.

Idle/cruising car warm - 4.3-4.4 kPa (62 - 64 psi)

Idle/cruising car cold - 5ish kPa (72 psi)

Boosting car warm - 3.5 - 3.8 kPa (51 - 55 psi)

It appears I'm consistently running 10psi high

Hey Jwick - I too am getting similar numbers to you, on my gauge.
