Hi All

Can someone make a simple list of items needed

so far I have the dsm410 and two-rim 100
going to use those to update the system monitor.

now if I want to add boost do I need tmp 100
would that work also for EGT?

Thanks

The TMP100 would be for the EGT's and a FPM100 would be for the boost pressure.
 
If going the Maretron route...

Go ahead and add transmission temperature and pressure to your system. I think a big help in avoiding transmission troubles, or at least diagnosing if something is wrong.
 
For the EGT, I used the Maretron EGT probes. My recollection is they fit strait into the nipple at the turbo outlet (CAT specifies EGT after the turbo) without an adapter. Probably Hodges or Defender for a supplier.

For Pressure, you can use Maretron transducers, but they are all 1/4" NPT, and you may need 1/8 NPT, or 3/8" NPT depending on where/how you install. @ttmott I think may have a list of other senders that work, have better accuracy and more thread options.

For Boost, I
believe max boost is 28 psi (the 420hp, might be slightly dif), so a 30-50 psi sender works. You will need an adapter to install on the engine. I don't remember exactly what this is, and no reference. But off the top of my head its 3/4" Strait pipe to 1/8-27 NPT

For Transmission Pressure &
temperature. - depends on the pump/control block you have. You may need an adapter here as well, as ZF uses metric strait pipe threads with seals in a lot of places. Older trannies use these. Newer blocks have ready made ports.

For the pressure I use Dwyer instruments and if I need a bit more precision, calibration, and minimum hysteresis I use GP50 instruments. Any 4-20 milliamp two wire pressure transducer will work.
Temperature instruments, as you may know, are not linear so make sure whatever you get is compatible with the Maretron curves.

Hi
where exactly do you have the boost sensor? it almost looks like it is on the heater block ??
thanks

Its on the Manifold. There are 3x 3/4"-16 Strait thread plugs. They are tricky to get out. I use a punch set tapping the edge to get them loose. You'll need an adapter.
