Next 3 gauges for Evo

Hi guys,

I am planning to get a 3 gauge pillar mount and will be adding an extra 3 gauges. I already have a wide band + boost gauge.

I understand oil pressure is super important which is on the list, what other 2 gauges should I get along with it. As for readings how far should the gauges go, the oil pressure one I am planning to get is 0-200 PSI or is something like 0-150/0-100 enough?

Clock and volt meter, JK. Unless you track your car a lot you only really need a wideband and boost gauge. If you're looking to add I would do oil pressure, oil temp and take your pick for the 3rd one.

I've never seen anything over 125psi in my own car for oil pressure when it's cold and High so a 0 - 150psi oil pressure gauge should be enough. You already have the two other important gauges (boost and wideband). Next I would add EGT and and possibly oil temp, but that would be it. I personally run a voltage gauge connected to my fuel pump. It has proved to be useful for me. A voltage gauge to the battery won't tell you about the voltage drop the fuel pump sees no matter how well you have it wired.

Has anyone used Innovate gauges before, this one is a 2 in 1 for the oil pressure/temp and is a good price.

Fuel pressure sounds like a good idea.

Oli Pressure no matter what. Oil temp and fuel pressure if you also track the car. If you do fuel pressure just like oil pressure you'll want to get a gauge with a wide enough range. Not near my car or I'd check the range for you.

Fuel pressure saved me tons of guess work when facing fuel problems.

I have boost and Wideband, EGT, Oil pressure and Water temp.

Be aware that a 3 pod pillar will block the use of the sun visor. Mine did and I had to remove it

Currently use a custom 2 gauge setup on the steering that DOESNT block any view of the main Mitsu gauges. Plus 3 in the center on Autometer panel with my stereo down below.

For the fuel pressure/oil pressure I understand with these they require oil lines going to the gauge? I'd rather not have hot oil running through my cabin, would it be better to get a digital/air-core one? Is this also the same with oil temp?

EDIT: Also is an aftermarket fuel rail required for fuel pressure gauges?

electronic sensors are better. It makes the pressure gauges more expensive, but it's worth it.
