i am going to buy an a/f and boost guage on mon. and i am going to put them on the a-pilar. before i buy them i would like to see some pics. please provide info. like the size of guage and manufacturer of the guages.
thanks

 

Unless you are getting a wideband 02 sensor, or at the very least, the Greddy A/F gauge that comes with its own 02 sensor, you are wasting your money.

ANY A/F gauge that relies on the stock 02 sensor is less than worthless. It will be very inaccurate at WOT, exactly where you need it. Get a good water temp gauge instead if you don't have one.

BTW, as far as appearance and functionality, take a look at the defi gauges (www.defi-shop.com).

 

thanks ididn't know that. i just wanted to get an idea o what te guages will look like when mounted. i dont want to get stuck with ugly guages

 

I have a Defi Black Face 52mm Boost Gauge for sale w/ Control Unit. Brand new the gauge + control unit is $222. I'm asking $190 obo. The gauge is in PERFECT condition. I used it for 1 month.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Defi Link gauges are pretty damn sweet! The backlighting is green though, but still pretty damn cool. Expect to spend some coin however.

You can get the Defi D-gauges with amber backlighting. I don't like the fact that the boost gauge goes up to 35 psi (!) and has odd division markings though.

 

theres place where you can buy mofified A/F meters and guages that will read forced induction. Im not sure what the site is called though. i thought about buying one but Im going with the defi d guages fuel pressure and oil pressure or egt

 

speaking of guages, what's up with those omiri guages? did they fall thru or what?

 

No, I posted about it about a month ago - they just made a set of ornage backlight w/ red needle - I was thinking about getting them, but then Jason from the RX7 store posted a picture of them and I decided against it... actually, I might still - depending on the depth of the gauge, but in typical Omori fashion, I asked them how deep the gauge was and they never answered.

I have a Autometer 52mm single A-pillar pod w/ mechanical boost gauge. Check my sig. Click the thumbnails to enlarge the image.

 

Here's this picture...again

 

Here's another option:

Look into a Power FC with Commander--shows all you need, incl. boost, water temp, intake temp, and injector duty. Yeah, it's pricy, but you get a hell of a lot for your money.

 

Frank's Defi gauges in his triple pod look very nice, IMO.

I really like this set up.

 

 

doesn't someone make this same piece, only angled towards the driver?

 

probably too little to really see.....but here goes....

 

thats DEFI boost and EGT in a-pillar
fuel pressure and water temp in a/c controls....bitch to put there b/c they are 52mm and not 60mm...

I plan on redoing things....maybe getting one of those quad pods where the center speaker used to be

-Nic

 

I have an autometer 52mm dual guage pod to fit on the side. Cant I bore out the holes to fit 60mm??

 

thats what i did....

 

An A/F ratio which uses the stock O2 sensor is usless. Personnaly I would not trust the Greddy one 100% but that's just me. I have heard people swear on their lives that its as accurate as true widebands but I'm not convinced. If you want a nice light show, go for it but I don't think you should risk your 2-5k engine on it, especially if your gonna be boosting high. It is your engine so do what you wanna do...

Good luck

 

maybe he just wants the light show. I wouldnt mind having the light show, in a honda. another thing not everybody is modding and boosting high in a rx7! Some people like show and no go, unlike me STRICKLY BOOST!!, fish tailing at 60 mph ect. ect.... I have also noticed that guages are very exspensive after you totlae it up!!
