i'm picking up 3 guages but have 2 questions!

which is better? mechanical boost or electrical boost? and why?

also how do i go abouts hooking up the air/fuel gauge!???

Thanks

 

I think electrical boost gauges are better, the vacuum lines goes into a sender unit and that controls the gauge. I'm not entirely sure, but that's what I remember from my friend who has an electrical boost gauge.

Have you picked out an AFR gauge? Like do you know what it all consists of? The AFR gauge has an O2 sensor and a sending unit. You need to have an additional bung welded into your DP, the O2 sensor goes in there, form there it goes to the sending unit, and from the sending unit to the gauge.

 

i dont believe its wideband

but i owuld be oging with this if anything however if it is a bit compicated where it involves cutting my 02 sensor and stuff i may scrap it i'm just in a pickle as to what my 3rd gauge should be??

i'm looking at boost, volt then it was supposed to be AFR but if its to complicated then i need another thing! is oil pressure/level easy??

basically i'm goign to be goign with 3 of these kind

boost and volt r for sure its the 3rd thats a pickle

how about exhaust temp?? is that one easy?

 

Exhaust temp will require the same thing as a wideband.

If your looking at an AFR gauge and it's not wideband, don't get it, it will be useless.

Oil pressure is fairly easy. You just put a "T" into any oil line with a small hose that goes to a sender unit and that is what the gauge gets the info from. I will be doing boost, volt, and then depending what the money situation is, either wideband or oil pressure. The only thing about widebands is that their about $250, and my car isn't very heavily modded, so I don't think it would be necessary.

 

exactly! thats y i dont wanna go that road, so is the oil pressure one really that easy? if so

boost, volt, oil pressure

may be the final 3 in this voyage

 

That's what I was told is all it takes for installation. I couldn't imagine what else there would be to it.

 

so going by that website u think i would need any other kind of external hardware to make itall work?

 

No, everything to install the gauge should come with it, just make sure the oil pressure and AFR gauge comes with the sending unit.

 

Oil pressure gauges are easy to install. And if you're going to add a gauge, that's a good one to add. All you do is remove the factory pressure sending unit, add a tee, reinstall the sending unit, and attach the line to the gauge to the other port on the tee. Make sure to use teflon tape on all pipe thread connections.
