paulr33 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 if you are tuning exhaust temp wideband af ratio if you arent stock boost is fine stock oil is fine maybe oil temperature Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/143416-which-is-the-3-most-recommended-guages-to-have-on-a-turbo-car/#findComment-2675056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubes Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Fuel pressureOil pressure Boost Thats not a bad combination. I'd probably trade boost for oil temperature.

Cubes Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Maybe he's after a little wank(er) factor...

PHATR32 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 vacuum gauge (dont need boost) clock (tasmania time) clock (london time) as mensioned above, the stock ones allready show the most important stuff. just upgrade them to nicer looking units Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/143416-which-is-the-3-most-recommended-guages-to-have-on-a-turbo-car/#findComment-2675114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andi Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Maybe you guys are forgetting the fact that he said its a GTT. I hardly find the stock volt guage useful. Since the stock dash already has oil pressure I'd keep the oil temp guage in the stock cluster and change the boost guage to a better one and the volt gauge to water temp.

shonen Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Im in the process of changing the guages as well.. Already got the defi boost guage on the a-pillar and will get Oil pressure, Oil temp and exhuast temp when the time comes.. was thinking of getting water temp but thats on pfc handcontroller so decided against it.

leb Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 vacuum/boost gauge - it shows if there are any "boost" leaks a/f gauge - see whether your sensors are working properly and that your car is getting the optimal fuel to air ratio at various RPMS oil pressure - only if you're doing serious work and have changed the oil pump or anything oil system related oh oh dont forget. the MONSTER TACHO BRO! with a "hectic" shift light, you really need one of those because your car doesnt already come with a tacho standard or anything....

R31Nismoid Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Oil temp Oil pressure Boost + Water Temp Thats my pick, yes it 4, but thats just how it is. But then the PFC tells me water so that kinda doest need a gauge Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/143416-which-is-the-3-most-recommended-guages-to-have-on-a-turbo-car/#findComment-2676041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMsta Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 wouldnt it be better to change the guages or add more relevant ones if the car has been modified heaps and is used for track days and that kinda shit? The only use i see for these guages (if the car is not modified) is that they tend to raise the female curiosity (my friend regularly gets women looking at his wrx at night because of how the cabin is illuminated by the guages - but his car is modded heaps) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/143416-which-is-the-3-most-recommended-guages-to-have-on-a-turbo-car/#findComment-2676073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaido_RR Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 if you are tuningexhaust temp wideband af ratio if you arent stock boost is fine stock oil is fine maybe oil temperature stock oil is not fine its very common for the sender to f**k up in the r32/33 (not sure about r34); then you sometimes very values of almost zero and other times its fine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/143416-which-is-the-3-most-recommended-guages-to-have-on-a-turbo-car/#findComment-2676116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 You can have the pfc also displaying boost if you fiddle a little. There's mention of it in pauls r33 faq I think.
