Most Important Gauges For N/a?


Recommended Posts

I'm considering getting a couple of gauges mounted like this, looks alright I think:

I'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.

For N/A.....

Volt incase belt breaks etc.......but then the bat light comes on

Temp....we have a water temp gauge

oil pressure.....the light comes on

oil temp.....guess this would be a good one so you can start reving higher etc

The standard water temp gauge is not accurate at all, by the time it shows you're overheating the damage will probably be done so I wouldn't rely on it at all.

Oil pressure, oil temp and water temp would be best.

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?
