What Gauge Should I Get?
Flame if you will... Right now I have the gauge cluster gauge holder with 2 gauges. I want to go with a triple Apillar. Right now I have boost and EGT. I need a third one. Im thinking either Oil pressure(and go with a N/A guage cluster), Oil temp or Wideband O2. Any body have any POSITIVE Input?
Thanks, Mike |
Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
Wideband o2 would be useful.
|
Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
Agreed on wideband O2. I also like water temp since I always had to keep on eye on that in my talon.
|
Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
I would go with a wideband if you can afford it, since its necessary for tuning anyways. If not, go with oil pressure.

Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
Triple gauge:
1)Boost 2)Wideband 02 3)Oil pressure EGT's are useless compared to the above. |
Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
I agree, go wideband. PLX-M250 w/ gauge or something similar. Best way to see wtf is going on.

Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
oil psi water and boost..what I run.

Boost
EGT W-B O2 I dis-agree with the "EGT is useless" attitude. If you understand what it's telling you, there is some good info in those readings. ;) |
Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
An EGT gauge is mostly only useful, if you are running a stock ECU and you don't have a way to datalog timing. Then you can somewhat use it to know when you are knocking bad and the stock ECU is severly retarding the timing. Otherwise, it doesn't tell you if you rich, lean, or even close to tuned correctly. They are useful, if you run one on each cylinder and want to do individual cylinder tuning for maximum overall power and reliability.

Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
Well I already have the Boost and EGT so Im not going to get rid of them. Who makes a Wideband? I know AEM does, Anyone else?
|
Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
also whats the difference between the AEM Uego and the AEM 6-in-1? Also can you use the O2 sensor in where the rear O2 goes or should it be in the O2 housing?

Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
Get that Autometer Clock that has been at Elite for ages
|
Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
fuck that kevin! that shit's mines!!!
-A. Swift buy the 200 electronic boost gauge at elite..tee hee |
Re: What Gauge Should I Get?
Put an altimeter for your third one.

EGT gauges are awesome if you have controlled conditions. If I had one per cylinder, and I was tuning on an engine dyno, then I'd use them. For a street car, they are an annoyance that causes panic where there is no need for one. Unless like above, you have a stock ecu and can't datalog timing, but as far as a tuning "need" its more of an assistance who's imput isn't really needed, but you get anyway. It will tell you where your timing is shifted to, not how good of a tune you motor has. |
