Rx1 finally in process!

dude, I offered to let you ride it in the grass. 12lbs of boost and everything is a blurrrrrrrrr :rofl:

I did lengthen the rod to lower the boost level and got the reverse dialed in.

Sometime this week I need to come over and run it again before I change out the hyfax. Just to make sure I have the boost setting correct.

Pretty sure we are cancelling the U.P. family trip next week...any ideas were I should take them??
 
Well guys I have about 40 miles on the sled...I would say its broke in by now....turning up the boost :rofl:
 
My block has bearings that have 1500 miles on them...so there basically broke in already........They looked so clean and nearly new I decided not to change them out. (purchased a matching block and crank) Top end is '05 updated with stock pistons, double head gaskets, hardened stud bolts.

I trail ride and plan on running around 10lbs of boost all the time on 93 octane.

I have temp gage..left side, boost gauge upper left, a/f upper right.

I would like to get a oil temp gauge next.

its a nice looking gauge, I want a water temp gauge for my viper but cant seem to find what I want. what brand is it, are you happy, and any close ups? how did you hook it up?
 
The gauge was in the sled when I purchased it from hooknbook. It is just a standard inline sensor. You just need to put it between the engine and thermostat.

All of my gauges are wired in to a fuse block. The fuse block is wired into a switched access.

Its just a standard white face. I saw some at autozone the other day. I thought about replacing mine, because it has a steel ring and its starting to rust. I want one with a plastic ring!
 
I get ya. I emailed autometer a while back, they recomended using the marine gauge since it would be built to take a lot more abuse and damp conditions.
 
I have an autometer boost gauge...I like it. Its just a standard, and I dont think you would ever have any problems with it as long as its plastic housing and not steel.
 
looks great in the finished pics.. just like a sled my dealer had an dI WANTED. it was an 05 LE that he had put a black belly pan on with fox floats (all blacked out look) and then just the low chrome windsheild and it was amazing looking :) nice sled, and good work!
