[Mk2] [Turbo] Temperature measuring with Radtec C/C

[Clearsky]

I am looking for ideas on how to measure and display charge air and water temperatures on a Radtec chargecooler??

[Nod]

Pico TC08 and lots of thermocouples.

I was thinking more about something I could read in the car, some sort of digital displays. Also where could I locate the thermocoulpe probes on the chargecooler/pipework.

Does the radtech have an overflow pipe? If so you could measure cc water and inlet temps in the same way I do using a probe run through the cc oveflow pipe and another probe through the blanked off pipe on the bottom of the inlet manifold.

No there is no over flow pipe, I have been looking at surface mounting thermocouple probes that stick on to the pipework. I think this would be fine for the air inlet temperature with a suitable display. I am not sure what to do about the water temp though. I might just go with an air inlet temp for the time being. I think that is the most important to monitor.

thermo coulpes through the clips that hold the pipe work together,
and a 12 volt lcd display from rs components also the thermocouples are a rs stock item
i have the 3 sensors at the minute as im trying to lower charge temps
if you get stuck pm me and ill give you a ring

Nice one , thanks a lot

Dont know if it helps, but I do a kit, which is basically a replacement lid for your ashtray, this then houses twin digital gauges that have sensor probes, the working end has a metal screw in sensor (see the pics) so no risk of anything dropping off into the CC or any other part. PM me if you want more information.
