ste91 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm considering getting a couple of gauges mounted like this, looks alright I think: http://www.turbovtec.com/images/crx/pc/IMG_0063.jpghttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2079/228004...c6e62d725_o.jpgI'm only going to get 2 or 3 if I do bother because I think it looks silly as fuck with a dashboard full of gauges everywhere.So I'm thinking oil pressure, and either water temperature or oil temperature.Or I could just be silly and get oil pressure/oil temp/water temp/volts but that seems a waste of money to me.I might not bother but I think it looks fairly good in the back of the dash like that, but the only ones that would be any use are oil pressure for example if the oil pressure suddenly drops then obviously turn the engine off sort of thing.

Asad Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 For N/A.....Volt incase belt breaks etc.......but then the bat light comes onTemp....we have a water temp gaugeoil pressure.....the light comes onoil temp.....guess this would be a good one so you can start reving higher etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shahzad Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have an exhaust temp gauge in mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ace-K Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 is it possible to get a rev guage since my n/a didnt come with rev meter? If so, how much/what make/easy to set up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cheshireglanza Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 ^^ demon tweeks sell them not sure on price tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Personally on a N/A I'd get Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Water Temp. If I buy a Honda I'll get those for it. And then add a Boost gauge when it's turbo'd. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Decided I'm probably going to get oil pressure + water temperature.But what's best, mechanical or electric? For the same price I can buy mechanical oil + water gauges I can get electric oil/water/volts.Are there pros/cons to having either mechanical or electrical? I'm guessing with mechanical there's a chance of getting a leak or something... is one more accurate than the other? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
