i am sad to say my best bet mite be getting a 2 dual A-pillar pods

 

It is really hard for EG drivers. THe newer guys can get two in the stock gauge cluster, then just throw 2 somewhere else.

I would stay away from putting them in the glovebox or far from the driver. Otherwise you can't look at them anyway.

What 4 are you running by chance? If one is an A/F, just ditch that one.

Friend of mine made a pod where the stock sun visor usually is. Looks nice, don't really notice it unless you are inside the car.

 

oil press,water temp,volts

drop the voltometer

 

why do you need them anyways? You got some oil pressure problems? Volts is pointless, and so is the watertemp. I would drop all of them unless you built an engine and you got some concerns about the clearances being out wack. Otherwise that's ricy.

 

im just always scared about oil

 

you can buy the greddy guage holders and just mount them on the dash

there are better pics around

 

i cut out my cup holder and put it in there, but can only fit 2 obviously.

ultra sleeper status

 

Double Din and use the radio Din hole Great location, easy to read and looks good too, not the cheapest option though



Oil temp=when to VTEC
A/F = lets you know if anything running wrong, not for tuning
Volts = cheap and filled my 3rd pod

Fuel pressure is useful, but electric gauges are expensive, and you dont want mechanical as that means fuel in the cabin Oil pressure is usefull if your a track *****, but i have a dipstick and baffled sump

 

looks siic, nice job

 

ive seen guages mounted in the air vents, mounts made out of metal or wood.....its a cheap way to go and looks good if done right

 

I NEED A
oil pressure: to check my oil levels
water temp: over heating is bad!!
volts: alot of ICE
a/f : montior

Oil pressure: only drops if its really low, lower than safe, use a dipstick or on track, in which case get a baffled sump
Water temp: you have one already thats good enough
Volts: actually pretty usefull, keep an eye on battery level and check alternators ok, so you dont get stranded waiting for a tow or jump

Like i said, for N/A

Oil temp: Not monitored elsewhere, really useful to look after your engine, more use than water temp anyway
A/F: ignore the haters, good gauge, and can be made wideband later
Volts: cheap and better than nowt, good if your into ICE
Oil pressure: ok, but not that hot

All the others are only really any good for F/I

 

For 96-00 Civics they have the dual gauge mount by the speedo. OBX just came out with one for a 92-95 Civic. You have to find it though. A shop here in PA has them for like $80. The gauge holder slips right over your factory dash insert by the speedo and looks good as hell

 

i''d really stay away from the glove box idea.. it's not that good of a place to mount anything.. especially guages because you wont be able to see them anyways when you need to see them

I have never seen that... Ive always liked the idea of how the EK civics could mount gauges there. I just went to OBX's site and they dont have anything listed.... your sure it was for a 92-95 right? Do you have a website for that local store? Id like to take a peek at one.

 

due to my knowlegde, the a/f gauge is NOT used to tune AF but to montior AF

a wide band is used to tune. an a/f gauge is nothing but a pretty light show. it is basically useless dont trust it.

this is my setup on my a pillar

why would u need to montior ur oil temp?/

That is what I have. I will mount my other guages in the cup holder storage area.

Edit: dont listen to everyone else. FI you want to spend money on those gauges, go for it...it is YOUR money. Why does everyone feel they must give their $.02

 

Those gauges won't help you at all. Scared about oil pressure? LOL
