What Gauges

[Flash89]

hey there guys i got a R32 GTS-t, and i got a FMIC, Pod, 3inch from turbo and a GTR fuel pump. I am wanting to install 5 gauges, but i dont know what i should be keeping an eye on. all i can think of is Boost, air temp. i am after the HKS range of gauges too

Boost/vacuum, oil temp, oil pressure would be my vote

The oil pressure gauge saved me an engine rebuild - the motor was dumping oil and I managed to pull over and shut it off in time.

Why air temp? If you have a consult cable and a pda you can view air temp and a lot more

also i need to understand what to read on the gauges. know it sounds funny but i wanna keep an eye on whats important in real time while driving.

sadly you cant on GTST. GTST's don't have air temp sensors.

i would suggest (listed in order of importance):

oil pressure

boost

oil temperature

water temperature

fuel pressure

exhaust gas temperature

that's if you must have 5. personally i think 5 guages looks a balls unless you mount them very neatly. the first 3 or 4 should be all you really need.

Gordon if you're after gauges to monitor the engine, you could install oil pressure, boost pressure, and fuel pressure and also fit a digital temp gauge for the oil, water, exhaust, air, etc. temps. There was a guide posted a year or so ago by a user named "meerkat" (I think). Great idea, fits nicely with warnings for out-of-range temps.

If you're after gauges for show, fit 5 of whatever right in front of the passenger
