Re: what gauges are you running?

i have boost currently. Wideband o2 is going in soon, and I expect oil pressure at some point, but surprisingly I think I have the only vr4 in existence with a functioning stock oil pressure gauge. I think I can live without egt personally.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

yes, narrowband O2s cycle for an effecient tune when cruising, however, it does nothing for WOT. Widebands measure and display the amount of air to fuel ratio.

52 mm gauges will fit in the center like the factory gauges. I have mine behind the plexi glass. 60 mm gauges will fit in the actual openings if you like the look of them being right there.

I have aftermarket boost, oil pressure, and water temp gauges in the factory center location. I have a narrowband a/f gauge and an egt gauge, but i'm not planning on putting them back in the car right now as I feel they don't really benefit you. EGTs just help identify when the combustion chamber is getting too hot to the point it could possibly cause knock, but we have dataloggers to monitor knock.

I also have an LM-1 wideband, but its not a gauge, its just a separate unit for when I decide I want to go tuning. I feel like I don't have to know my wideband A/F ratio all the time because
1. I have an e-manage so its not like i can change my tune on the fly
2. I'm using the factory MAS which compensates for temperature changes and pressure changes, allowing the tune to change as needed.
3. One less O2 sensor to worry about all the time.

Re: what gauges are you running?

If you get the AEM UEGO or or a similar gauge there is no point in not mounting it. With the combo of EGT and the wideband you can constantly visually monitor the car and how its doing. I once watched my EGTs skyrocket and WB go lean and immediately got out of the throttle.

check this thread

i can't really see the pics because most of them are blocked here at work, but you should be able to identify which ones are 52mm and which ones are 60 mm
