I want to get additional gauges for my n/a so I can monitor more of her vitals. What gauges do I need to add. (obviously not boost). I thought a/f might be a good one to start. The thing is, I will be swaping a TII into her in the near future.

91 n/a...mostly stock.

Any suggestions? Or is this just a stupid idea for now, untill I do the turbo swap?

 

Oil pressure and water temp for the NA.

 

Depends how extreme you are going or want to know about how your car is running.

I would recommend a boost/vac and AF if you are planning to turbo it.

If you wanted to go extreme: Oil temp, and start replacing stock gauges.

I have always been partial to an engine run time timer as well so I can more accurately figure oil changes and engine work. That can be put under hood however.

 

Samps: I was thinking more along the lines of additional guages that I dont yet have to monitor more vitals. I know the sensitivity of the stock ones is poor, but I dont want redundant information untill I exhaust all the other important areas.

Icemark: boost/vac I will add when I do the swap. Is A/F important for an N/A that is mostly stock?

 

a/f, exhaust temp., i'd still go with the water temp and oil preassure though i just like a lot of gauges that are acurate.

I only have a water temp guage... not much else you need for an N/A. Your temp guage only has THREE positions. I beleive they are cold, warm (174*F) and hot (250*F). OBVIOUSLY you want something better than that, so if you start to overheat, you'll konw it before hitting boil over temps .

Oil pressure guage is somewhat delayed, but accurate *enough* for street use. Just be worried when your oil pressure starts dropping below 20-30PSI at idle or never goes past 60 when driving above 3200 RPMs.

So, just the water temp guage is really needed.
