I feel like my z's current 3 dash gauges are lonely and they need 3 more companions to join the void. Any thoughts on useful gauges that could be put on the pillar? So far i came up with only air fuel ratio. Anyone have any other suggestions?

 

What do you have done to the car? What you have done will tell you what gauges you would need. Supposedly NA bolt ons will effect air fuel ratio, but I don't think it will enough to be out of wack that a gauge would be needed. If you just want some blinky lights, then any gauges will do.

 

Currently i have exhaust, intakes coming in, hfc overwinter, further down the line next summer im planning osiris tune.

Not that i know my afr is out of whack, i just want to feel special like the fi guys do and have some USEFULL gauges like i see on some NA cars. I may sound like a ricer when i say i want some pretty guages, but i dont want useless once, which is why i want something that give me usefull information about the cars current stats. If theres no useful gauges except afr, then i might as well just stick 1 gauge in for the future.

Any thoughts?

 

TRANS GAUGE, FUEL PRESSURE, NITROUS PRESSURE, Oil Temperature, THESE WILL WORK FOR A N/A CAR. IF U WANT LOOKS GO FOR BOOST, ETC.

 

save your money and get gauges when you got boost. or your car will look like those ricerboy honda accords with a BIG @ss non-working tach gauge

 

Get a gage for your interfooler fluid temp

 

I was thinking of replacing the volt meter with a water temp gauge and the oil pressure gauge with a matching one. My car is NA, just track and autox.

 

I got oil pressure and oil temp, i autocross, so it helps me know when i can make a run (oil temps and pressures are pretty important on our cars)

 

This one is perfect for a NA Z with exhaust:

 

lol ^

 

fuel pressure and exhaust temp. i have greddy gauges in the factory location. check out my album.

 

Thats why i was asking if there were any usefull gauges that NA car can have, not usless ******** ricers put on their cars for the sake of having everything. Example i have seen a tuned NA i believe Amuse? it had few gauges like AFR & other Temps.

I was looking at DM-200 but it costs 500~, BUT, provides all information you will ever need from the obdii port. Saves space but costs a **** load.

 

a PLX ODB2 Gauge will tell you everything you need to know

 

I don't really think you need any gauges n/a except a wideband. At least that's what I have. I took out my stock volt gauge from the dash and got the aem wideband siting there.

 

Something maybe for the A/F ratio like wideband would be good. You don't need to worry about EGT's on a N/A car really. You already have oil pressure and engine temp.

 

both are useless.... i have an oil and water temp gauges. and that is all i need.


i also lol at folks who mod just for looks...

 

then i lol at your painted headlights.

 

 

Fuel pressure is definitely important!

i'm thinking of installing an AFR gauge since i'll have an exhaust, FHC, intake and a plenum spacer installed on my car.

i dyno'ed the car a year back (when it was bone stock) and it was actually running lean. so i think it's a good idea to have an AFR after installing all those mods. and of course, i'll have it tuned accordingly.
