Gauges on non-boosted car
Would there be any functional purpose to adding gauges to a non-boosted car? I've been toying with the idea and I know I'm going to be staying N/A all the way.
I've heard A/F are unreliable and are basically just for show (which would suit my purpose). The more research I do, the more money it seems like it'll cost. So, I don't want to put lots of money into something that will have 0 purpose. If I were to choose 2 gauges for an N/A car, what 2 would be the most useful? |
oil pressure and voltage is usefull in ANY car
|
i got oil pressure voltage and water temp in my non boosted pro
|
I put A/F and voltage in my NA pro. But the A/F does little good, beside that tellin me the car is ran rich from the factory, IE: need fuel preasure regulator for better performance and fuel mileage!
But WTF it looks good. |
I know the voltage is a simple tap into virtually any power wire.
I understand we need a wideband O2 sensor to get any good readings from the A/F so I'm not really looking at that. Although I'm sure it looks good. My question is, how difficult is it to install an electrical oil pressure. Is there a simple wire we can tap into on the P5? pr5owner, do your gauges light up? |
On another note...
I'm looking at the Defi Gauges and they don't have voltmeter. So, I'm set on getting oil pressure. What should I get for a second one. Oil temp, fuel pressure, fuel temp? Thing seem to be strong for oil pressure and oil temp. In all honestly, however, I don't want a gauge that's going to be static all the time. So, with that in mind, would anyone say nay to Oil pressure and Fuel pressure? (All electrical) |
