I bought the din plate Akiratdk makes... and I don't know what guages to get to fill the holes..???

I already have a Fuel Pressure Gauge and an Air / Fuel Gauge installed in my A-pillar dual pod.

What's most important..? Thnx.

 

Oil temp, Oil pressure, and water temp seem to be the most common

 

Agree with Max, then I would add water temp, fuel pressure and the A/F, cover all the usual problem starters. get high quality gauges, dont mess with junk they react too slowly. Fuel pressure is often installed under hood but I like to be able to see it if I have a failure before I overrev a starved engine

 

I have a fuel pressure gauge under the hood coming out of the regulator... but I have a fuel pressure gauge with the isolator to watch it while I'm driving too. All my gauges so far are Autometer Z Series.

Oil temperature sounds like a good one... being my stock oil pressure gauge from the factory seems to work fine. Where's the best spot to pick up the temp for the oil..??

What's up with the stock water temp gauge...?? No good..???

 

i dont know about other people's, but my water temp guage only goes up less than 1/4 of the way when it's fully warmed up. So I'll be getting a water temp guage, along with oil temp. and press. when I get my console plate

 

I like an accurate gauge with actual temperatures on it that I can trust to tell me the truth, the factory gauge is 20 years old, has no actual temperatures listed and has probably a lower standard than Autometer would provide.

 

^

yeah i hate that!! I want to know the exact temperature, not weather it's "hot" or "cold"

 

You need a boost gauge

 

Why does he need a boost gauge for a FB GS or a GTU

 

Duhh.. everyone wants one

 

OK, ok, I'll get one too then, I want to fit in after all.....lol

 

yeah really everyone needs a boost gauge... even if you never have boost... you can impress your friends with it

 

How about just a taped whistle sound.....

 

lol i know a kid that has one of those and the front mount air filter that looks like an intercooler.. lol

 

I have a boost guage already... No longer serves a purpose. Anyone wanna buy it...

 

what brand gauges do ppl use/recomend?

 

for water temp, stay away from sunpro, autogage, or those without a sealed sending lines. they are unreliable since it picks up additional heat for the engine bay specailly during stop and go traffic. Autometer and Stewart & Warner are good but very expensive. IMHO, a set of Equus ($40 for a triogague) is good enough. I have been using them for almost a year now with no problem.

 

^^ Your shoes are dirty

 

Im too cheap to buy a new one.

 

What about VDO. I've heard Autometer is junk.

 

i have heard just the opposite.. i heard autometer is the best

 

VDO or Autometer are about equal quality, both are very good, note Autometer is used by most professional race teams

 

These are my guages. So much brighter than standard at night!
