#55988, "all motor gauges?"


          

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. emoji

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. emoji

water temp would be next on my list...

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

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!
