I sold my guages and pilar pod, I will get some new, guages, my limit is 4 I do not want more. I was thinking in this one:

Oil pressure
Water Temp
A/F Ratio
Boost



Since I have a wideband with A/F ratio, I would have to relocated to a place where I can read it, i can avoid A/f Ratio gauges and use oil Temp, making the new combination
like this

Oil Pressure
Water Temp
Oil Temp
Boost



I do not know is oil temp is very important having the oil pressure which i think more important.


Any advise would be accepted

I would do EGT before Oil temp.

 

I would invest in a wide band setup, and avoid a standard narrow band A/F guage. Although the dancing light is nice your not getting a true reading of your A/F mixture. Below is what I would consider to be necessary on a boosted setup.

oil temp
boost
wide band (if you have this guage you won't need an EGT)

The water temp guage would be a nice addition but not necessary IMO. Definately consider the wide band as your first choice.

Goodluck!

 

If you have the money, you should get a Wide Band, Boost, Oil gauge. But if you are short in cash then

4 most important gauges are

Boost gauge
EGT gauge
A/F ratio guage
Oil Pressure gauge

leave the Water and Oil temp out. Not as important as the those 4 above.

 

 

Sorry friend, but what is EGT--> exhaust gas temperature ???

I have:

Air/fuel ratio
oil pressure
Boost

Going to buy exhaust gas temperature.

There is my 4

 

Yup that's what it is. If you install one, I recommend the first runner in your exhaust manifold. That is the best place to get accurate readings from the cyclinders. I have seen it in the downpipe, but I personally feel that that gives the exhaust a little time to cool before getting metered.

 

EGT and A/F does have the same funtion? watch how the mixture is? if your A/F ration is good your EGT should be the same

 

Not exactly. It's a common misconception. But you make a good point, if your AF is good than your EGT should be good right? Well what about timing? You can make a lean running car have good EGTs by retarding the timing. Like wise you can have a car that shows good EGTs but is running pig rich because of too much timing advance. That's why I recommend both AF and EGT. If you know you have good AF, then you can use the EGT to adjust timing.

 

if your running the aem ems they just came out with a gauge that can read 19 differnt parameters, anything you want in one gauge, pretty sick, i think im gonna get 2, i dunno how much they run for but it will be worth it, www.aempower.com new hot sh1t
