Top three gauges to have in a boosted car?

elperuano · 08-03-2013, 07:53 PM

Also the hks camp2 costs a very pretty shiny penny. The price of gauges vs the camp2 made me go with gauges.

Also out of curiousity, whats everyones oil psi at when fully warmed and idling at a light?

Mine is 22psi

Hmmm mine is at 20-18.

Makes sense that you'd run lower pressure with a TT kit.

There's a lot more being oiled than on an unmodified engine.

I would guess it would also depend on where you put the sender for the oil pressure gauge. Where are most people taking the pressure reading from?

Mine is tee'd off at the factory location.

Mine's off the filter sandwich along with oil temp sensor. I'm also around 30 PSI idle when warm.

Yeah, sorry. I meant to add 'that aren't dots'. There are also these: Zeitronix ZR-2 : ZR-2 Multi-Gauge Displaying AFR/Lambda, Map (Boost/Vacuum), Exhaust Gas Temperature, and configurable User2 as (Fuel/Oil Pressure, Air/Oil/Water/Transmission Temperature)

Ok, I got nothing.

Arrvaxx · 08-22-2013, 12:38 PM

But if AF, oil temp, and oil pressure are all I should care about then three it is and I'll go Defi.

Chuck33079 · 08-22-2013, 12:41 PM

Those are the top three. I've got boost and AFR on the A pillar, and eventually I'll swap the ones on the dash to oil pressure, EGT and a multigauge for water and oil temp.

What would you be able to tell by monitoring the EGT? I was looking to go with the Boost, AFR, Oil Pressure, and Water Temp. Keeping all the factory gauges where they are. I wasnt planning on changing the radiator yet if I dont have to. This way i can atleast monitor the water temp if it becomes a problem.
