I ran my 484-510rwhp boost setting everyday on a stock DE for over 8k miles before i went built.

^THIS, luckily i pulled mine for the built block before i blew it

as a matter of fact forged ended up replacing the transmission I bought from z1 when it took a total **** less than a year after installation.
I have never heard of this issue. Can you please PM me your info? I would love to check into this.

Thanks,

use the oem 3 gauge cluster. then put the fourth and the controller in the cubby. that's what im doing except i only have 3 and my boost controller is in the haltech.
imo the oem gauges never really did anything for me. the multigauge is useful but afr boost and temp is much more important to me.

Sounds like a good plan. Is it possible to put the factory gauge unit back in if you had to take the car back stock?

Actually, it was being dropped for install and tuning. I expect it to take a few weeks to install. I will be back up in September when they tune it. Videos, pictures etc as that happens. A lot of work left still.

In theory yes, but that really depends on how you disconnect the stock gauges. I'm pretty sure you have to cut some wires so if you are willing to install m-f plugs or do some soldering then yeah it should be fine.
If you are going through the trouble to put things back to stock it shouldn't be too much of a hassle (unless you really butcher the removal).

Just buy a used one and hack that up. save your oem one to "go back to stock" if you worry about such things.

I was able to get a PLX gauge to fit inside of the oem housing with a bit (ok a lot) of careful cutting.

The camp2 gets some of its readings from the factory OBDII port like rpm, water temp, to name a couple. Other readings like oil temp, boost, fuel pressure, oil pressure require additional sensors. And then if you want AF then you need a knock amp connected to the FCON that will read on the camp2, but if you had the knock amp visible then you would need the display anyway. HKS website has more info on the factory sensors it can read. For me it is a good display considering in got the other do-dads too.

You guys are cracking me up. Everything has been purchased. I do have OSIRIS but was just asking about using the factory gauge location and could i go back to mounting the stock gauges if the car ever goes back to stock.

On another note... I did not get to drop the car off because my friend that was going with me had a family emergency and had to bail. I am now driving to Z1 this Friday night and dropping the car off Saturday morning.

So, while I still have the car in my possession, I am going to the local dyno (Mustang Dyno) to get a baseline set of numbers. This Z is BONE STOCK. Let's play a game....guess my bone stock Mustang Dyno number!

My personal guess.... 243whp... the facility is climate controlled.

Cool John. I will talk to you Saturday about this but would like you guys to document (through pictures) the tear-down and build up since I won't be able to stop by in person during the process. I like to have things like this. I will hopefully be there for the tuning so I can record that, etc.

Thanks.
