n/a guages

[TiburonDelAsesino]

I was thinking about installing some guages and a guage pod. Anyways i was wonder what two guages were best to moniter the conditions of the car if its n/a? I was thinking oil pressure and egt... leme know if you think another would be better and why. thanks!

Well what modifications have you done? What modifications are you planning on doing? Oil pressure is always nice to know, and if you're planning on some nice cams*cough*Crower*cough*, a fuel pressure guage would prove useful as well. EGT really wouldn't be necessary unless you're planning on some more extensive motorwork or FI. If you have an underdrive pulley(or plan on getting one) and you have a system I would get a voltage guage, cuz sometimes underdriven pulleys tend to put extra stress on alternator when there is also a large load on the electrical system.

So far I have cool air intake, headers, catback, oil cooler, and bored throttle body. I plan on adding stage 3 intake and spacer, air fuel controller and maybe a nitrous oxide system in the distan future. Prolly wont go with underdrive pully or cams at this point.

port and polish the upper and lower IM
get some Crower cams/ REAL VIM ecu reflash package

Well if you wanna spend some cash, a wideband O2 sensor with Air/Fuel digital guage would be pimp. Of course those are kinda pricey, but well worth the investment and will help you get better use out of that fuel tuner.

Im sure I will get a wideband in the future are they compatable with the old shcool analog guages?
I am still in the fabrication process of a carbon fiber guage pod that fits underneith an aftermarket stereo head unit. Its pretty pimp. Ill show you some pics when its done. But the A/F guage and nitrous pressure guage are gona go there =)

Any other thoughts on the Apillar guages got it narrowed down to oil pressure and undecided on the last one.

I hear so much talk about these cams are they really decent? And is that the new Real a/f controller your talking about? Is it the way to go and does it have a nitrous option setting? One more thing, whats an install cost on cams run? I dont trust myself that much =(

This new tool from REAL Engineering sounds EXTREMELY pimp. It hooks right up to the OBD-2 port and comes with 3 programs. These 3 programs are customized maps made using your specs, by REAL. YOu can switch between all 3 programs in a matter of secons, say you have a program for nitrous, you can select that when on the bottle, and go back to a daily driving program that is tuned differently for different driving conditions. WHat's good about this is that the programs are actually being run thru the stock ECU, no trickery, no intercepting signals, like a piggyback or fuel tuner. It really has some serious potential.
