mfg Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 The two Paxton gauges installed into the center console upper face plate by the Granatellis on 63R-1025 recorded blower pressure and engine oil temp.....True?
brad Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 The R3 I did had oil temp, and fuel pressure. . There is already a boost gauge in the dash. I always wondered why they would add a second one.
Geoff Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 False, but I'll let mfg list the reasoning.Spoiler, I'll be working on 1025 in New England again in a few weeks, the goal being its attendance at the Warwick meet.
mfg Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Posted April 17, 2016 Hi Geoff!, I'll leave it at FALSE,.....I'd like for you and your Dad to be the first ones to really discuss this very special Avanti in detail. Hats off to both of you, and it indeed would be wonderful to see the car brought to the big Warwick international meet.....Best of luck with this!!....Ed
Geoff Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 If anybody is "hanging on a cliff" the complete answer is contained in the 63R-1025 thread, also in this trivia section.

Andy said that they had to be monitored because at high RPM if the blower pressure exceeded the fuel pressure that there would be fuel starvation. The very lean mixture could cause rapid catastrophic failure due to the high heat. When drag racing 1025 Andy would take the engine to 8,000 RPM
