Which Is The 3 Most Recommended Guages To Have On A Turbo Car

[fishy]

Me and my friend decided to change our guages (both have a r34 gt-t). so yeah what do you guys think... which 3 guages would you put on your triple cluster and why?

[paulr33]

the stock cluster already has the most important ones

[RB20_ZED]

boost

oil pressure

oil temp

[Mr. Keets]

Fuel pressure

Oil pressure

Boost

[kyle785]

i believe he askked for reasons too not jsut what gauges

[paulr33]

if you are tuning

exhaust temp

wideband af ratio

if you arent

stock boost is fine

stock oil is fine

maybe oil temperature

[R.R]

the stock cluster already has the most important ones

hahaah BATT VOLTAGE>>> RIGHTO then

[Cubes]

Fuel pressure

Oil pressure

Boost

Thats not a bad combination.

I'd probably trade boost for oil temperature.

[paulr33]

given that he has said nothing as to what the car is used for then the stock guages are fine

[Cubes]

Maybe he's after a little wank(er) factor...

A fully sik AFR guage

BOOST guage to see how much BOOOST its running/

Speed to 400km/h

[PHATR32]

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

[paulr33]

haha

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.

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.

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]

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

[eMsta]

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)

[LBR33]

Oil temp

Water temp

Oil pressure

[Kaido_RR]

if you are tuning

exhaust 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

[Cubes]

You can have the pfc also displaying boost if you fiddle a little.

There's mention of it in pauls r33 faq I think.
