that are not in stock dash cluster

Onemanzu · September 6th, 2007, 05:21 PM

wide band O2
and two temps... either tranny, engine or oil

02ponypackage · September 6th, 2007, 05:27 PM

u dont need gauges on ur car...regardless how "cool" u think it looks...last time i checked theres already a set right in front of you

02ponypackage · September 6th, 2007, 05:28 PM

and u dont need to run a wide band on a stock car c'mon now...thats 300 or more dollars u can use for something useful in mods

Onemanzu · September 6th, 2007, 05:29 PM

he asked i told ... thats how i work ...

you ask how much it will hurt to jump off a really really tall building ... i will say ... you'll die ... not don't do it

I guess u like reading books

whitemustang02 · September 6th, 2007, 06:00 PM

i'm not doing it to look cool i am making a race car there are things i will need to know and i'm wondering what the more importent ones are

02ponypackage · September 6th, 2007, 06:03 PM

well having gauges posted on the pillar that are the same in front of u might not be doing much...now define your version of " race car " I know plenty of cars that can do 10s in the 1/4 or they race on road courses but its not a race car.......race cars usually imply not road legal as well...and are towed to the track lol...maybe thats just my take on it

thats how i would define race car... NOT street legal and towed to the track

Onemanzu · September 6th, 2007, 06:05 PM

15 floors w.e 150 something feet in the air... hows that...

what are your goals for the car... if you wanna race all you might need is a shift light that way you don't over rev and blow something ... if its a 5 speed

whitemustang02 · September 6th, 2007, 06:09 PM

well this will be as close to that as posible but still street legal however i will be pushing it to it's liments and i don,t want to dameg any thing
and it is for road corce racing so if u don,t want to call that a race car that is fine but there is still a rason for the gages other than just looks

02ponypackage · September 6th, 2007, 06:13 PM

oh yeah i know that...im saying no need to get the same gauges on the pillar that are in front of you.....a small shift light pen style would be fine so u dont have to look down when driving a manual....on the course...as for gauges ur staying NA...i dont see many things u would need other then a Trans temp gauge

whitemustang02 · September 6th, 2007, 06:20 PM

alright my thoughts were
trans temp
pyro
maby air fule for tuning

02ponypackage · September 6th, 2007, 06:24 PM

pyro ?....air fuel ratios dont do a damn thing....mines a waste...a wideband how ever is for tuning nice to have when tuning...a AF gauge is for dancing

tomzac · September 7th, 2007, 12:05 AM

1. Oil pressure
2. Water temp
3a. Trans temp (auto)
3b. Oil Temp (man. or auto)
3c. Intake Air Temp (boosted)
3d. Fuel pressure (juiced or boosted)

The factory gauges are crap. The oil pressure, water temp, and volts are little more than idiot lights. They do not report an accurate measurement range. Their voltage thresholds are too great. Ask somebody who has installed a full sweep oil pressure gauge how much range they see from idle to 4-5k. :wink

Leave the wideband a/f (narrow band=junk) sensors for data logging. Even watching a wideband gauge will make you go crazy after a while. The best way to view wideband data is by creating a graph.
