I am going to replace my current gauges with some electric ones that match...and are black..not ricey chrome.

I need 3 gauges to fill the current holder. Im going to have a boost and fuel pressure but unsure about the 3rd.

As you all know the factory temp gauges suck (as you all know, although I could do the mod to make it read correctly) so that an option
Theres also exhaust temp, oil temp, air fuel ratio that could be an option.

The factory oil pressure gauge seems to work well so no need for another.

I have all the important stuff available on the computer for track use and logging but dont use this every day.

Car is a street port, single turbo, will be about 4-500hp

What would you recomend to have (monitor) on a every drive basis?

 

Water temperature is a must. I personally love my new defi red racers
Defi boost and water gauges

I assume you have a PFC?

 

From the research I've done:

Water temp and boost gauges are the most important with oil temp coming in third.

ProSport gauges come recommended as well. Plus they're much cheaper then the big names like Defi. These are what I'll be getting.

One thing I"ll mention is get quality gauges, now some might disagree with me but thats OK. I had POS autometer cobalt series gauges before and always had wrong readings. After installing my defi D series gauges, no problems so far. Just my 2 cents.

 

Yeah I have a PFC.

So everyone thinks the oil temp gauge is next on the list? What about exhaust temp or air/fuel ratio?

Because you go to the track, get the oil temp gauge next. Not much else that I believe is critical enough to warrant a full-time readout.

Beyond that, I'm not sure except that a standard AFR gauge is kinda pointless without the wideband up front and an exhaust temp gauge is kinda pointless unless you're tuning yourself.

 

Thanks guys. Had a good read through that thread and decided on Boost, Fuel Press, Oil and water tems.

 

YEP get the DEFI guages, I have then in all 3 of my 7"s water, oil, temps & boost, go to advancespeedshop.com they have great prices call them and ask for David the owner tell him BOB from the forms sent you if your looking for the guages

 

This is what I have ended up with....bit cluttered but Im not one to care what my car looks like as long as I enjoy driving it

Notice the PFC datalogit software at my fingertips!!


Carputers are GREAT!!! Media, games, dataloging, tuning, GPS, phone control and the rest! Keeps the Mrs happy on long drives!


I went with the Autogauge stepermotor series gauges...they seem reliable enough so far. One question I do have tho.....when I turn the car off they go red (see below pic). Is there anyway that anyone knows of to keep them this colour...or even better have them white with the lights off, then red with them on to match the factory gauges??
