    Digital gauges, datalogging, and more for OBD1 diesels

    They are pretty versatile little devices. I had 2 of the communicating over CANBUS, one was the main processor and the second was just for the display. Just need to integrate the sensors and figure out data logging in Excel.

    Yep, so far the plan is EGT, boost pressure, drive pressure, and TPS. I may add more sensors and a bigger display at a later time.

    Digital gauges, datalogging, and more for OBD1 diesels

    I'm going to build an Arduino based monitor/data logger instead of springing for Banks or Edge hardware. I already have a lot of the pieces from when I was attempting to build a VGT controller, so it should just take some repurposing and programming. It will be completely standalone though, no...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Moving at a snail's pace on my A2W install, but progress is progress. Had a few minutes to fab a lower bracket for the heat exchanger and got it bolted in. Next will be the upper brackets and finding somewhere for the pump.

    O Ed fgfcbbbn,; I guess I could put in a little more effort to make room for the condenser so I could get AC back, but that will be for down the road.

    Both are existing stock coolers so they will fit just fine. I did LED bulbs before as well, I love them! These new housings have glare shields so it won't be as bad as before.

    Started fitting the heat exchanger. Going to use some scrap aluminum angle I have laying around and rivet nuts to put it in the core support between the oil and trans coolers and radiator. Should I fill the holes in the core support that the old CAC used to pass through?

    You could do that, but these engines have enough cooling problems as it is. I didn't want to mess with that coolant flow and possibly compromise it. Plus having a standalone coolant loop allows for lower IAT because the engine isn't heating the coolant too.

    Yep, exactly. I haven't done the water side yet. Working on removing the old stuff to make room for the new.

    Ah gotcha. There will be a dedicated coolant loop just for the CAC with a 24"x12" radiator in the core support and an electric pump to circulate the coolant through the loop.

    Same as any other charge air cooler, a turbo/supercharger pushing the air through.

    I'm redoing the intercooler, so it is already all being torn apart to get the Cummins CAC out of the core support to make room for the A2W heat exchanger. I had to hack up the current headlight assemblies to clear the A2A CAC so it warranted replacing them.

    All good, verified right and left.

    I'm waiting for UPS to drop off my new headlights right now. Hopefully I don't have the same problem!

    I think it's a cool piece, but out of my price range.
