i'm thinking next year when i start the big project i'll end up throwing in some guages right now it's looking like some autometer nexus or es series guages with wideband a/f, oil temp and manifold pressure

I'm thinking while I'm NA (will be a long while) I'll go for Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, and A/F.

EGT is for Turbo AFAIK and I'm not sure what else would be better to know really. I know Oil Temp isn't that big of a deal typically, but with lurch mode engaging so early it'd be nice to know where I stand.

...Although an in-dash and a HKS CAMP2 would be able to handle oil temp for me.....

Agreed. I would be interested in swapping out for those exact gauges - Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, and A/F ratio. However, I would like to keep the amber / orange background. Anyone know of a good product to replace our stock set with?

All I want is an oil pressure gauge for my oil cooler!

A/F you're very limited, typically AEM.

The gauges themselves though... The Defi Link gauges do look good but they aren't exact.

This STRI gauge is probably the closest as far as looks/color goes.

Thanks for the recommendation Vipor! +1

Defis all around for me, did anyone ever do a DIY for this??

I'm going to modify the gauge cluster with different color LEDs and gauge faces this summer, so hopefully I can post pictures. It'll be a pain... :eekdance:

the autometer nexus linup is similar to the defi's Except they are real stepper guages instead of virtual screens with changeable color lines on a black face (it does do amber which is a must for me). they can datalog, have a remote control, and sensor hup and are programable for startup shutdown, and warning lights for when you go to lean or you get to hot, or you peak boost. not as many features as the defi's but as gauges they are better.

I've also been considering changing these out since the day I purchased the Z.

Even more so after seeing the Defi gauges in Lou's Z:

Those look pretty sweet. I don't see how the Defi's (or any mfg) can possibly have more features than those Nexus gauges.

The Autometer Nexus gauges look really nice, and it looks like their "orange" would be a good match for our amber. I just can't get over how expensive these gauges are... you could spend $1000 just replacing the three on the dash!

For $1000 I would hope to get some A pillar gauges too, on both A-pillars. I'd even put some on the C pillar that I can see in my mirror. YES.

And go old school muscle and put a row of gauges on my hood.

I was quoted about 850$ for some Defi gauges and an AEM a/f, so they're not too crazy expensive

$850 for fancy lights is expensive. :shakes head:
