Gauges

[sliweczka]

Hi, have to buy 5 gauges, 2X52mm and 3X60mm, which are most important? exhaust gas temperature, boost, oil temperature, what else???what do u have in your car, cheers

Oil Pressure, water temp.

 

[DUFFMAN]

most important in order for me would be

oil pressure
boost
water temp
oil temp
after that it can be either exhaust temp, battery charge or air fuel mix

 

[sliweczka]

what about boost gauge, should i buy electrical or mechanical? propably electrical easier to fit?

If you are short of ideas to fill the pods.You could add a time clock to tell time or a compass/altimeter also,but i would fit oil temp,boost gauge,oil pressure,Voltmeter in that order first.

Agree with DUFFMAN, in that order too.

Any car will do water temperature on the dash so would oil temp not be more useful?

That's good point..maybe water temp gauge is more specific?

Just a thought.....an actual water temp gauge would be more accurate. My Power FC displays water temp in degrees and I can see it change when the fans kick in. A factory water temp gauge wouldnt be this precise so by the time it starts creeping up to show an overheat the damage could already be done. I put a Zerosports cool thermostat in my car. Power FC showed a steady 10 degrees cooler where as factory temp gauge showed same reading so probably not as accurate.

Makes sense.
