hey fellers looking for some recommendations on gauges to get for someone thats never installed them before. like what type of gauges do i need jsut to start out modding my car? and what brands are good and easy to use / install.

also i've seen some stuff about 3 port solenoids and im not sure how to distingish what gauges need what.

sorry i suck at this

 

AEM Wide Band O2 Sensor and a Boost Gauge

 

I ran boost, oil pressure and exhaust temp. O2 sensor is a good idea too.

 

Any 60mm gauges are easy to read. 52mm IMO is too small and hard to see unless it's a digital read out. Defi and APEXi will be the first gauges to look into if you want 60mm. If 52mm you can't go wrong with AEM and Innovate.

 

I think the two most important gauges are the wideband and the boost gauge. You don't need the gauges to start modding your car, you need them to monitor your car.

 

^^^^^^^Oil pressure & fuel press its also important once you reach a crucial point in horsepower level!

 

That is definitely true, but then he just started. He can use that money elsewhere on bolt-ons and a tune.

 

if this was facebook i would like this lmao

 

thank you for the replies, i'll be getting the wideband and boost first as i've read its pretty important to check the afr while tuning. and since i just purchased my cobb i rather not be guessing in the dark if im ok even though i'm only gonna be running some cobb shelf maps

 

+1 on the boost and wideband. Egt is pretty much denoted by the WBo2. I happen to have some QUALITY boost gauges for sale in my sig

 

im looking at getting this boost / afr combo from perrin....

anyone have any experiance with these pro sport gauges?

 

Is the perrin AFR wideband? If it isn't then it is practically useless IMHO

 

My aem eugo wideband was spot on my tuner said when he had his unit bolted up as well on the dyno.

You need a Boost guage to figure out leaks and adjust your car according to air temp.
A wideband is really nice to have for watching your fuel.
And i would say an Oil presssure Guage so you can spot a leak and keep from blowng up your set up.

 

[COLOR=Black][B]Defi-Link Meter ADVANCE ZD is what ive been looking into it will display every gauge you need you just have to buy the sensor for what you what it to display. Alittle pricey but less clutter on the dash and A-pillar and its digital display. doesnt have AFR.....

 

For a newbie; boost and oil pressure.
