Gauge Placement

WAR-PARTY · October 17th, 2007, 08:21 PM

If you had a piller pod with two outlets what tow gauges would place in it, for a ful race car. The car is bkown and fro the drag track

fuel pressure and boost?

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 08:59 PM

A/F and Oil.

00SlvrStang · October 17th, 2007, 09:08 PM

a/f only if it's wideband
oil pressure is always good to have

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 09:10 PM

^ forgot to mention that.

I am Sure WP knows I meant Wide Band.

but thanks for the catch.

00SlvrStang · October 17th, 2007, 09:14 PM

No problem. I hate when people put a narrowband gauge in their car. Basically it's just for looks cuz its not gonna tell you shit about whats going on.

WAR-PARTY · October 17th, 2007, 09:26 PM

I'm thinking A/F and EGT (Exhaust Gas Temp)on the piller, I have Oil pressure in the dash Oit Temp below it on the right hand side in the dash. And boost on the left side of, in the dash. Fule pressure gauge (liquid filled) and is mounted on the fuel pressure regulator.

^ sounds like a good choice since you already have those other gauges.

Mind if I ask what exactly a exhaust gas temp gauge would be good for? I never heard of what it is used for, is it just for turbos to see how hot the air is going to them or something else? and how would you even control the temp of the exhaust?

00SlvrStang · October 19th, 2007, 11:39 PM

EGT is mainly used in tuning however you need to watch it during driving as well. Basically the leaner your car is running the higher your EGT's will be, and at a certain point if your EGT's get high enough then you will be looking at possibly preignition or detonation.

^ Thanks that is it combined with your A/F guage it can save your motor!

I got boost, AF, and EGT. I like having the EGT's cause after running its nice to know how cool it is before shutting the car down to avoid oil cooking in the turbo.
