What Gauges?

[SimonTuffGuy]

I picked up a 3 gauge a pillar pod off EBay... Not 100% certain how it's going to fit, but I'll see what I can do with it.

Now the question comes with... What do I fill it with?! On the last car, I ran an oil pressure and generic (non-wideband) A/F ratio.

I've got a few thoughts on what I want to run... But I wanted to get your thoughts to see... I know that oil pressure is on the list either way. And I'm thinking about a wideband O2 gauge and possibly a nitrous pressure gauge?

I know that with my motor being built having the wideband on there would be a good idea... And I will probably continue what DJ was planning and add a bottle at some time, so the nitrous gauge would come in handy... Just wanted to get the thoughts of some others.

I loove the look of the Autometer C/F gauges, but they don't have a wideband O2 available with that. Their Cobalt series looks cool too. I'm definatly going to stay with a black faced gauge this time since my gauge cluster will be staying the same (or once I find a 110 speedo)...

Anyone have suggestions? I'm open to everything at this point.

Haha - Not real interested in those, I'd like to stick with Autometer.

Yeah Defi would mean we actually have money to put into a festiva! man those are nice though.

[SimonTuffGuy]

Well... I priced the Autometer and they're nowhere near cheap... The wideband O2 is $300, the electronic nitrous gauge is $200, etc... That's why I'm looking for suggestions before I splurge and buy these things that wouldn't work.

Can you run (or is it beneficial to run) wideband on a N/A car?

[Silv3rBull3t]

Yes it is but I'm not sure how worth it... I think just a NON wb 02 and nitrous pressure and oil pressure you will be just fine. I like the carbon series FWIW... -Kyle

Advance has nice guages, may want to check there.

You might end up turboing the car later on once you get the urge for more speed, if your going to get a AF gauge, might as well get a wide band.

[SimonTuffGuy]

I can get a good deal from Autozone (friends) or I like A&A (local store around the area here)... Just deciding what I really want to do... Another forum suggested volts for some reason.

I'm still thinking wideband o2, oil pressure and nitrous. :p

What about water temp?

[SimonTuffGuy]

Isn't there water temp on the gauge cluster? I know it might not be the most accurate, but as long as I'm in my "normal" area, I think it's ok... I'm looking for stuff that the normal cluster wouldn't have... So fuel level and that wouldn't be needed... What about fuel pressure? Not for a N/A car?

They come in Kia Prides from England. Almost all years as far as I can tell. You need to either rewire the speedo unit or use the circuit board from a US car to make them work.
