a) where do i get this from...went to autometer site..didn't see where to order

b) is this even necessary if i have an auto?

c) what gauges should i put in there?

need opinions....

[soceur]

a) a good place to check is any import type mag..ie import tuner/scc/turbo...etc

b) its definitly not necessary if you're stock or not running some type of forced induction. it would really make you a poser to have a boost gauge or exhaust temp gauge when you have nothing but a cai.

c) If you do have a cai and exhaust, an a/f ratio gauge wouldn't hurt, thats what im getting, and from what ive heard the one from autometer sucks, so im getting mine from R1 although im getting my pod from autometer. if you want two then i would say maybe oil temp. correct me guys if there would be a better choice for a non-induction car.

of course my car deffinatly ain't gonna be stock..i just want to know wat i should get when i get my stuff.... my car is a non-induction. i have apex'i n1 exhausts coming in...gettin ready to dual it out...injen shortram already in...and that's about it...so i guess i mght go for...exhaust temp? and wat else?

[soceur]

although exhaust temp will work, you don't need to monitor it without force induction...really,... like i said before, a air/fuel ratio gauge would be a + as it would let you know if you're running rich or lean. too much of either isn't good. But if it floats your boat heres another oar. Get what pleases you no matter what anyone says.

[YOshi31]

my friend with a civic has a boost gauge but his turbo has wont come in untill summer so he has the gauge set to his brakes its really wierd its almost like a supercharger's gauge cuz its at zero when we are driving and when he brakes the pressure goes up and we are stoped its at 20psi its really funny d@mn hondas

[baNanA_ryCe]

nice..pmed ya xyrcncp...

[toyota-tech.com]

my freind has the real deal and it replaces stock pillars so it looks like it came from toyota

[XYRCNCP]

[Chris25NJ]

i'm looking for a dual, full a-pillar guage pod as well. How much, and where do I get it from?

[baNanA_ryCe]

hey do i smell a GB? = : o )

[XYRCNCP]

I'll see if I can get one together....but if you want one right now there is a DCM member who is selling his with A/F and volt gauge and shift light.

Check the for sale forum and the DC Metro. His SN is gt2gts

[baNanA_ryCe]

umm i got an auto :( sadly i don't need the shift light....but is that cheap? how much will all this run me about?

[XYRCNCP]

Mine was 90 for the pod, 45 for the A/F, 35 for the Volt, so you are looking into about 170.00 before shipping.

No need to do a groupbuy.

You can find it here (http://www.optauto.com/webstore/product_information.asp?number=GW-20-694&variation=&aitem=1&mitem=14&back=yes&dept=459) mad cheap at www.optauto.com

The price? Only $27 for the dual gauge pod and $21 for single.

[komar]

well in reponce to the volt meter question if you have the AEM alt pulley you get to see how much the alt is accually charging, since i have a pumpin stereo with the aem pulley i added a volt guage after the oil pressure guage went out.

maybe i'll do an oil pressure guage..that sounds good...is this uselfull if im gonna be goin with N/A engine mods all the way...and how hard are these guages to hook up especially the oil pressure....or does anyone else have any ideas for guages that i would need to monitor if imm gonna be going N/A....and also can somebody post a good website where i can buy these guages and pods..thanx

but i think we want the one from bottle >> the full gauge pillar... but that looks really good. i wouldn't want to cut out of my pillar though...too perminant. i'll email bottle....

[pfmicks]

What brand of gauges should i get?? Blitz, HKS, those are kinda expensive, what brand of gauges do you suggest for a good price?

[2000REDGT]

For those of us planning for forced induction what gauges should we have? And does anybody know if they make a carbon fiber full replacement gauge pod?

well, I got my pillar casing from autometer, and as a matter of fact, I have the exact CarbonFiber Ultralite gauges in that pic. Except mine are oil press and volt. Got everything from autometer online for like 130. And I have an automatic. Its basically for look.

[BiZzyCeLiGT]

I have the full replacement pillar from TRD-GT. I also had it painted spec blue. I have the a/f ratio and voltmeter. They are the easeist to wire up. I have pics but dont kno how to post them. show me how to or i can send them to somebody for them to host. it looks so much better with the full REPLACEMENT!!!!
