Check out this link.... I already emailed them to ask about when they will be available but at least someone is making them. They responded to my email once already and the picture of the pod laying on the ground is not yet painted that was the first one made.

Anyway Just thought I'd Share the INFO.

nice. wierd tho it seems like more people here are getting pods than have FI...is this useful for a non FI Z?

 

people are putting A/F mixture gauges in. other than that I cant think of any... maybe oil temp. I donno what 3rd thing youd put.

 

im putting an a/f and egt for when i install nitrous this summer

 

I'm staying NA... Oil Temp is a must and a better water temp.... those are the two I'm planning to install.

They responded to my email and the dual pod is coming with the tripple. They are going to try to get me a picture of the dual. I think this pod looks nicer than all the others.

Which pod do you like better this one or daking350's pod

Just Curious

 

or this one

 

dakings looks better.

 

I like the mold of daking's better, but the PTP unit looks like it would match the stock color/texture better.

 

the 1st one looks cleaner, but a triple is overkill.

boost/ af or psi/ af

egt would really be a waste of money. stick to a/f guage.

 

dakings looks better... but need to be smoother

 

Dakings looks like someone pooped it out, but I like the style better.

 

i like the ptp better because it looks more driver oriented compaired to the one dark has. Darks' looks more like its pointing up to the ceiling then to the driver.

 

I hope you mean wideband AFR vs Autometer blinkey blinkey light AFR...in that case, EGT is MUCH more useful if you plan on having a means of fuel control. The Autometer ones are a total waste of time.

Oil temp is good for cars that see lots of track days or have heavy level mods..otherwise, you won't glean much data from it as it likely wil rarely move till you are on the highway for a long stretch.

 

NOS maybe?

 

125.00?!?!? A little steep for some plastic. Most I'd pay is 50.00....like I did for the firebird and grand prix.

 

Used to find oil temp in my BMW useful since I didn't want to rev the engine until it was up to operating temp. and water temp. is not a useful indication. What do you think?

I wanted to get an oil temp. gauge for the Z, but finding it difficult so far (lots of oil pressure gauges). Where do you put the sender?

Like these gauge pods, but unfortunately we have the steering wheel on the "wrong" side over her so I'll have to find another answer.

i would only do two if i really had to...

Oil Temp on boost cars: so you know when your engine is properly warmed up. Sender i have is tapped directly into the oil return line off the turbos.

Boost: no brainer. i want to see how much i'm not vacuuming!!!

A/F is only good if you have the sensor tapped into the cat or header.. any further back than the Ypipe, and you risk having the A/F meter read leaner than it should be..... then again.. neither is EGT since the temps vary on weather conditions...

there's this little gizmo from Techtom industries called the CMX100 which is a digital multi-gauge. we used this for testing the TT kit and tuning while the car was at Technos.... this thing is dope! it will read out water temp and ignition timing, as well as Airflow meter in volts and speed... http://www.technosquareinc.com/cmx.htm
fits really small into a corner or something... leave the analog gauges for other things..

 

you only have to add an 02 if you use a wideband a/f otherwise you can just tap your original 02 wires to get a reading so it should be fairly accurate.

 

Anyone know what brand of gauges those are inside the pod? I like the color of the white lights in them
