I've got an Autometer 2-channel gauge, one reads just after the turbo and the other just before the inlet manifold. A fair amount of cash and it reads in Farenheit but it does show you just how silly hot the standard intercooler gets - got a front mount now but still haven't fitted the sensors back in.

just found this in my inbox


Hi Stuart
This is in reference to your E mail about the dual inlet air temp.
The 2DC3-21 is the one you want for monitoring in and out temps of the
intercooler. I have attached a drawing of it. The price is $81.80 and
the senders required are 399S7E, you'll need 2 of these at $33.40 each.
And the lighting kit 186 $4.60.
We do have EGT's as well in single and dual configurations.
Plus shipping, We charge actual shipping cost at time of shipment but
would guess at about $15.00 - $20.00 . Just a guess mind you.
You can contact a company in the UK that handles our product, give him
these part numbers and see if he can help you out.

Acro Engines and AirFrames

Never!! :D The sensors may only be tied to the aircon pipe in the engine bay at the moment but its always good to know its around 150ºF in there :shock:
Thats a nice piece of kit you've found, only problem might be how low it can read. IIRC on the standard top mount the temp at the outlet was about 45-50ºF which isn't a lot considering my gauge reads up to 400 over a 270º needle sweep. I'll try to put up a pic to show what I'm on about.

cheers 8) just been on phone to the guy at Acro E+A looks good so far, i just need to work out the kind of tempreture ranges we' re gonna work with and he' ll get it sorted. so far. gauge is £48 senders are £12 odd each plus the light kit. £75ish plus post

ANY CHANCE OF SOMEONE SUPPLYING SOME WORKABLE TEMP RANGES IN DEGREES F. WHATS THE MAXIMUM/MINIMUM TEMP I WANT/NEED TO SEE INDICATED BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTERCOOLER

cheers, stu

From the Yahoo group archives:
I've got a 2-channel Autometer (reads in Farenheit, but who cares?)

At the plenum chamber on a nice cool day it sits about 60-70deg F
when driving steadily. The recent hot weather has had it up to around
90-100 F, with the car standing it has got up to 140 F! Takes about 5
mins driving to get it back down from there. If you rag the car, the
temperature climbs about 20-30 degrees before the top-mount
intercooler starts doing its job and stabilises the temperature.

Temperature at the turbo exit is normally about 140'ish F, but can
hit +300F if you give the car stick. I've just fitted a Pace
frontmount, so when I get round to fitting the probes back in I'll
let you know if it actually makes a blind bit of difference.

Here's some pix of the gauge and senders, as I said 60-odd ºF on the gauge isn't much movement - it would be nice to have different ranges but thats wishing :)






Hope thats of some use mate

thanks for the help ian. was wondering if your probe actually sits outside the pipe :? looks like it, the sensors im after go in the ic pipework but the principle the same.

cheers :D

The one i got was from R&B Motorsport based in Norwich. The guy who supplies them can be contacted on mike@rjpipe.demon.co.uk

The price was £42.50 delivered to your door.

Sorry i don't have a pic of it as my car has been taken to ADR Motorsport for a rebuild. Hope this helps.

cheers andy very handy :roll: :lol: :idea: groupbuy topmount people :?:
http://www.randbmotorsport.co.uk/shop/

and in reply...These are built down to a margin in the first place (originally being just
built for friends etc). However, if you placed an order for five or more, I
could knock £2.50 off each one and do free delivery (to one address for you
to distribute).

dunno how much these would be to post but it looks like a gb aint really worth it/practicle

The sensors do go into the pipe and should be positioned so they are in the middle of the airstream, but they haven't been put back in since I fitted the front-mount. I need a small boss welding onto the pipes where I want the sensors, and then they screw into a compression fitting. One day I'll stop being lazy and sort it out :)
