What guages for a supercharged Apex?

[snowfix]

What will I guy need to monitor with a supercharger on the Apex? I assume you will need to monitor water temp and super charger oil temp but what about:

Boost?

since this determined by pulley size is there any need?



Air/Fuel?

Will a person need to adjust fuel mapping via a EFI control box for the stock pump and/or an addtional pump

Exhaust temp?

Would knowing this replace the A/F guage and help determine if there is predetonation happening?


The reason I ask is that I have an avenger guage off my 2 stroke and I could use it to monitor water temp, and supercharger temp, as well as EGT's.

I'm a 4 stroke newbe and I'm trying to determine if my avenger is of any use, and if not, what guages I'm going to need

You can never have to much info. We recommend a min of 3 gauges: most important is water temp, next blower oil temp, then wide band a/f ratio. Exhaust temp is good as a reference but not absolutly necessary because of the acuracy of the wide band o2. If I could I would have a wide band on my two strokes and chuck the egt's in the weeds.

what temps should the blower oil be running at? Typical usage, and then what's the high temp alarm? I believe the water usually is around 180, correct?

We don't really want the blower temp to raise over 185 to 190, however it will accept short runs up to 200. The warning light comes on between 180 and 190. Under normal condition the sc runs around 165 to 170.
