Gauges... which 5 out of 7?

[SierraSonic]

I have a choice comming up soon, I will be allowed a max of 5 gauge, 2 on the gauge cluster kit, and 3 on the pillar bar.

Also, are there any other gauges I don't know of which would be of help?

Any help would be appreciated. I'm getting these btw....
Gauge Cluster
Gauge Pillar

god damn ricer. j/k, you better be boosted for the boost gauge or have a nicely built n/a motor to make good use of those other gauges.

Why don;t you wait to perform the engine mods BEFORE you get the gauges?

 

[LatinEM2]

EGT gauge is important when u get boosted

 

[SierraSonic]

I know.... Im just writing my plan now, I'm asking which ones should I get WHEN I need them.

 

[cgpEJ6]

nice double post

 

[FRODO]

EGT should be in there somewhere....

 

[SierraSonic]

As I already pointed out, the other thread w/o the poll was a mistake, and I asked nicely for a mod to remove it. Now can we please stop with the "NDP" crap?

Whats EGT?

 

[bizoneoeh]

I just say the oil pressure and boost gauges that's it. Unless it's going to be a all out drag car, that's a different story

Very true but i would add EGT in there.

Exhaust Gas Temperture gauge.

 

[cgpEJ6]

air/fuel is important

 

[oc_civic]

air/fuel is important

i totally disagree...

if you want 5

*EGT
*Oil Preasure
*Fuel Preasure
*Boost
*Air Intake Temp

thats IF you are going to boost it.. and want 5

fo sho, the egt will help alot more than a narrowband a/f gauge, simply when the temp gets high your running lean and when it drops low your running rich

 

[Shiznit]

i say do the mods first then get the gauges. but i agree with OC otherwise. an air/fuel guage is worthless without a wideband o2 sensor

 

[SierraSonic]

Thanks for the input, so for im gathering that I should put the Boost gauge and the oil pressure on the one that in front of the cluster, which was what i was planning on buying first.

Then get a EGT, and some others which i have yet to see on ebay. :O
