55988, all motor gauges?
Posted by DR1665, Jul-25-03 12:34 PM
I don't plan on going turbo for a while, but I'm thinking that with my increased compression I could benefit from an A/F gauge. I plan on making one of the Corbin-style wideband jobs, but what other gauges would be MOST beneficial/useful for an NA application?

oil temp? oil pressure? egt? fuel pressure?

I really don't want to have a lot of gauge pods around to mess up the ideal sleeper look, so I think I would go with that gauge cluster bezel with the 2 pods in it and mount the A/F in the tach, leaving room for 2 others.

Anyone have any input here? TIA.

I would go with the phantom series blinker fluid temp gauge, and the flux capacitor voltage gauge. :thumbsup

i would get an oil pressure guage, a digital a/f like corbins or the apexi TT, and for the 3rd...

maybe coolant temp? EGT? really thats your call... fuel pressure?

I believe everyone should have an oil pressure gauge. A/F and EGT would be very good to have, especially if you start playing with fuel (which you should).

I plan on installing the hal9000tech so I don't think I'll have to worry about the blinker fluid or flux capacitor gauges.



Thanks as usual guys.
I'm thinking I'll go A/F, EGT and oil pres. :thumbsup

I have an A/F, Oil pressure and water temp gauges in now and I am about to install an EGT. I would say A/F and EGT are the most important and then go with the oil pressure!
