Gauge install

[Shodown]

Okay, I have Autometer C2 gauges for Nitrous and Fuel Pressure, part numbers 7174 and 7163.

For the fuel press gauge, I know I need an isolator, but where on the fuel rail does it go?

For the N20 press gauge, do I need an isolator for that too or how do I "T" that off?

Pics or old write ups would be greatly appreciated too, thanks in advance!

Re: Gauge install

I figured out the fuel pressure gauge, but as for the nitrous gauge I am still lost.

Where do I connect the sending unit? Near the solenoids or right off the bottle?

Re: Gauge install

I would do line pressure, not bottle pressure...

Re: Gauge install

I did some research last night and got it all figured out. I am putting the gauge adapter right before the solenoids. The little farker cost me $25 though!

Some people told me do line pressure and some have said bottle pressure, I dont know which is right and which is wrong but I am doing line pressure. :)

Here is the gauge adapter:

Re: Gauge install

Only problem with doing line pressure is you risk overheating the bottle if you don't have a "nice" heater that auto shuts off at certain pressure/temp.

Other than that line pressure will give you a more accurate reading of what you're spraying, but bottle pressure will tell you when you need to shut your heater off!

Re: Gauge install

I have the NOS bottle heater. Will it automatically shut off at a certain pressure/temp?

Well.... with any nitrous or fuiel guage you want to run an isolator no matter what.

There are some nice electrical guages out there for nitrous psi that has the sender unit mount in between the bottle and the nitrous line and reads psi there.

As for the watrmer shutting off.... if you have the temperature sensor wired up then you should be fine.

Looks like you have the fuel guage worked out
