Had a small panic today...went to the gopower website and found anything I clicked-on returned a 404 error so I'm wondering if they are still a company.....called the phone number and got a person though so ...relax.
The question today was I saw somewhere that they don't have anything to convert the dyno to a strain gauge....but I thought I saw somewhere that at some point in time they had a kit to add a pressure transducer to the system and that seemed a very sensible compromise to me re-engineering the whole setup and something I could and probably should do.
Which got me to, I wonder what the correlation between pressure and torque on the current gauge is? I could measure it but asking seemed way easier and it was, 1psi=1ftlb torque. Couldn't be simpler and I'm thinking I'll plan on this ...keep the current torque and rpm gauges just as they are, the read rpm from the ecu and feed torque with a transducer.
Also wondered if they have an adapter for my engine to save me making one? The guy I was talking to wasn't sure if the old D-512 was the same as current but offered to go check and then let me know what is available.
"What does the spline need to fit?"
- A ferrari
"(Laughter) You had to say ferrari, I'm certain we won't have anything laying around for that"
- its the same a something..a nissan I think, 10 spline 1.25"
"maybe then, that doesn't sound too weird. Let me check and call you back"
Now, I used the web messenger twice, and gave my email to a tech a few weeks ago and have never gotten an email from anyone....but maybe I will get a call back.
...not that it matters until after I fix the engine of course
