Hey fellas,
Just picked up a ATI Procharger for the Z. I'm looking in to getting gauges, Just not sure what options I have. Need to know what fuel and boost gauges out there work the best.

Peace!

 

Just placed an order for an S/C as well and I got (Boost, EGT and oil temp) gauges to be fitted on an auto meter triple pod pilar.
The gauges I got were prosport Amber 52mm.

 

I got a/f and egt from defi.... really don't need a boost gauge

 

I have Defi D boost and Fuel Press and a AEM wideband in a triple pod pillar.

 

a boost gauge is still "cool" to have even if its just a s/c. I mean what if one day you got issues and got a leak, it would be nice to see that visually without having to figure out that you are low on boost.

 

I agree, it's nice to know how much boost you are running, it's a piece of mind. Has anyone installed the gauges where most people have navi systems (I don't have that model, just an empty space).

 

Anyone thought about using a fuel pressure gauge? I'm going with a boost and thinking about the wideband AEM gauge. Anyone prefer mechanical over electrical?

 

what is the point of the EGT on a supercharged car?

i have a/f, oil temp and boost.

 

I have an AEM WBo2, Prosport boost, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp.

 

90% of people dont even know what an EGT guage tells you. Once tuned, I think that is a worthless guage. Id go for a wideband anyday, as A/F's fluctuate with even the smallest boost changes and temp changes...EGT on S/C car is worthless IMO.

My choices for a S/C minimum ----> WB A/F, boost

Optional depending on if your gonna track it, etc, etc would be oil pressure and coolant temp then oil temp.

 

Defi gauges are sweet!!! Autometer's are proven reliable, can't go wrong with either.

 

I'm running boost, wideband, oil temp, oil pressure.

 

Shooting for Boost, AF, Oil Temp, Water Temp.

 

Go with vacuum/boost, wide band air/fuel and oil temp. Use the stock water temp gauge and oil pressure gauge. No need for anything more.... besides an oil cooler. You really should get one.

 

I have the ATI procharger with the self contained oil so I won't need to bother with oil pressure or oil temp. I went with a fuel pressure and boost gauge. Thanks for all the help fellas. Just can't wait to get it installed and have it tuned. I might have to give a shout out to driven1 and Function Tuned for that!

 

Who? What? What happened? I heard my name......

Edit: YES Go see that guy they call Dave. You'll be VERY happy sir.

LOL sir! Is that how you talk to your landlord? Sup Robbie! I'll try to make it out to the Function Tuned event, Unfortunately I won't have the SC on yet. It will be a few weeks before I have it on.
Peace!

Looking forward to seeing it all done. I'll give you a call later on so we can get together sometime soon.
