guages

[tracknfield423]

this may sound stupid since c02 isn't nitrous but would we need, or possibly use a nitrous gauge for the c02 sprayer? also i was ganna get a boost, a/f ratio, intake temp, egt, and oil or fuel pressure gauge.

it's just a pressure gauge, so as long as the co2 is stored at a similar pressure to nitrous it would be fine, i don't know if it is or not though.
rather than the a/f and the egt i would suggest just getting a wideband, but the other gauges look good, just get electric for the oil or fuel pressure gauge, whichever you go with, so you can have the gauge in your cockpit.

thats a lot of gauges man. Your talking about at least 6.

[jred321]

drop 2 for the wideband, and since he said oil or fuel pressure, he's down to 3 :)

[tracknfield423]

ok i think i'm ganna go for the boost (a must), and an oil pressure guage, however i can't find a wideband so i think i'm ganna go with the a/f ratio. also thats ganna be on the a-pillar, since i'm prob going to get a nitrous gauge for the c02 sprayer i'm going to mold a 3 gauge pod thing above the air vents in the dash. for those three guages one being for the nitrous gauge which other 2 should i get?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I though that you'd need a wideband for a a/f ratio.

What's a GUAGE?

get boost and oil pressure, and if you want a 3rd, get EGT.
Fuel Press, A/F, arent really that helpful for daily application.

if you want a wideband, you can do a little searching in the forced induction section and find some links to some, but they aren't exactly cheap. some aren't that bad (the one 1st mp3 has i think is relatively cheap but good), but it is definitely a good tool to have if you plan on doing real tuning. if you want to get more gauges for some reason get some temperature gauges, like intake air temp. either get an a/f (either with a real readout of voltage, not autometer crap or the greddy which is a very good gauge and can actually give you your a/f ratio i believe since it uses its own o2 sensor rather than just giving an o2 voltage) or egt, there is no need for both. but really many of these things your car monitors already, and you can check them with a pda, a cable and the right software so you don't have a rediculous amount of gauges.
