looking to get some new defi gauges 62mm... which are the most important gauges to buy. i have boost and getting aem afr... what else defi offers
Oil Pres
Fuel Pres
Oil Temp
Water Temp
Exhaust Temp
Intake Manifold Temp

have room for 3 defi gauges.

 

I have oil temp and oil press in addition to my boost and afr. Prob would have gone with water temp if i were to have added another. what do you use the car for and how extensive are your modifications? oil pressure is a good choice for any setup...the other 2 u may want to cater to how hard u drive the car and the aggressiveness of ur setup.

 

Well i would only buy guages that offer a reason for being in my car=oil press,fuel press,exh temp others i would pass on but thats just me as i dont see them needed as the car offers all the others u need.

 

I got all bolt ons for it plus fp green its my dd but i need the important gaugrs cause i cant aford problems right now. So basically ext temp oil pres and fuel or water which one?

 

What do you mean by the car offers all the others i need?

 

get oil pressure, fuel pressure and EGT. all three are very important to have on a modified turbo cars

the other gauges you listed are useless or unneeded

 

anyone?

 

I would say get oil pressure, fuel pressure ,and EGT...like others have said. That said, is there a nice off the shelf solution out there that would be like the R35 GTR system? It's the navigation, Stereo head unit, and multiple and configurable gauge display all in one nice clean unit!

 

something like this

Are there any setups that mount by the factory gauges like behind the steering wheel that dont hide the stock tach and speedo?

 

not really. when you run gauges on the steering colum, they are most likely going to block part of the speedo or tach.

nothing you cant live with tho, i have 2 mounted on the steering colum and can still see everything thats important

 

Do you have any picture of that by chance? I would be real interested to see how it looks.

 

That looks really useful. Has anyone done this or have a write up on the install? Does the stock ECU have the sensors required for the information displayed on the screen or how would this pull the information?

 

1. Oil pressure
2. water temp or oil temp

exh temp - no need you have AFR gauge

 

I have defi (volt/oil temp/oil press/boost/egt) and aem (wideband). I will be adding an aem fuel press and turbosmart eboost2. However, I am thinking about removing the volt egt and boost.
