i would buy boost water and oil temp at a minimum.

and if u have some more moolah buy a oil pressure

[markimak]

ull need a wideband afr gauge or dnt bother. volt gauge is gay.

i wanna get a inlet temp gauge next

[r33cruiser]

you dont NEED a wideband afrg. they are hell expensive and tuners use them. just leave it to them. but your standard narrow band gauge gives an indication of possible problems. its not worth paying $600+

as an eg, i have, afrg, boost, water & oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure gauges

[Dynamix]

I'd get gauges in this order, boost, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, afr an so on.. and try get a gauge with a warning light or a preset you can set the ' max ' of somethng and it'll flash or alarm, they're the best, my apexi el boost gauge lights up red if the car overboosts, which is great insurance as i'm usualy watching the road when i drive..

To be realistic... I wouldnt even bother getting an AFRG....You'll know if your car is running lean or rich anyway.. Well i can tell.

Go with Dyna's suggestions.

as i was saying they are pointless unless they are accurate wideband gauges..

Tell that line to your engine builder.."i knew my engine was running rich just before i saw a piston inbed itself in the bonnet !!".

I dont believe that for a second.You might be able to get a idea but throu listening but you dont know exactly what your air/fuel ratios are...

Ah in most cases you cant unless you have a meter or gauge. you might be able to hear an audilble knock or ping bit the damage is usually already done.i wouldnt rely my hearing on a modded import with a bit of boost and timing.

Get a stoich guage there only a 160 dollars approx.. maybe cheaper these days.

[shanef]

u dont necessarily need to be running lean to be pinging/knocking...large amounts of timing can do that on its own

[Dynamix]

I'll probly like your sr, and props for building one up, but as for talking about it all the time like verbal diarrhea

ohh la la.. what brand..

Coilovers are HSD HR's with 5kg/front 4kg/rear springs, perfect for the street, but still firm cause they're the track spec damper..

Disks are 343mm two piece DBA5000 series, ferodo 2500 pads, custom unique autosports caliper spacer, motul RBF600 fluid, calipers serviced/new seals..

[Bunta]

[T04GTR]

[Dynamix]

yeah coolo. that rotor will crack as soon as it gets red

It won't get red and it won't crack.. it's a street car with weekend duites at best..
