Guage and Guage Pod Questions?

I have an 86 na, but i love the look of guage pods and guages, not huge ones, but nice little ones that go on the side of the car, or anywhere, what are some good guages to put besides boost?

well since you have a N/A you wouldnt need a boost guage... Oil temp, oil press, water temp, EGT, A/F ratio, thats about it..

For how much its going to cost to get an EGT and AF gauge w/ sensors, you may as well drop the coin on a wideband o2 setup (its like 100$ more). Anyways, you should get oil pressure, oil temp, water temp and a nitrous gauge

I just bought 3 gauges. Air/fuel, water temp, oil pressure. They are autometer carbon face gauges. They cost a total of $190 shipped from NOPI.com.

Hey bdls, how long does it take to paint your car man? I've been dying to see some pics when you get it done. Seriously though, thanks for the plug

Regards,
Frank

hi flyrx7 the car sat at the shop from the end of june to the middle of dec before they even touch it. they start working on the car dec 16. they are doing a full restoration of the body. i saw the car last friday it was completely strip of all the paint. they still have to prep the engine bay for painting and put the car on the chasis machine to make sure the body and chasis are straight. they are saying the car will be ready in the middle of feb. then my friend will strart installing the new turbo, engine, fuel pump/lines/injectors, fmic, fuildyne radiator, haltech and guages

Uh, widebands are major coinage. A CHEAP unit + wideband Oxy sensor will be between $4-500
