Which gauges are important to keep an eye on a JRSC motor? I've searched and the results seem to apply for Turbo FI setups... would the same apply for JRSC as well?

what I found:

Oil Pressure
EGT
Fuel Pressure
Boost
Air/Fuel

Is oil pressure necessary? I guess it's crucial for turbo setups since they rely on the car's oil system to lubricate the turbo. However, JRSC's oil is self contained.. so is the Oil pressure gauge necessary?

Any JRSC heads out there that want to guide me to the correct direction? I want to buy the correct gauges for my setup. B16/JRSC @ 10psi.

I was thinking intake temp gauge to keep an eye on the sky high temps the JRSC can produce. Any inputs?

 

My Opinion:

For any car; FI or NA.

- Oil pressure
- Water Temp
- Oil Temp

- EGT would be could be useful during tuning.

For the JRSC, boost pretty much is or isn't. If the belt is on you'll get the same amount of boost every time. I would say the boost guage is optional here. I don't pay much attention to mine anymore. It's the same result everytime.
