Default Where do you mount your gauges?

I'm about to start doing some major modifications to my Gsr. I'll be adding a turbo and so on and was planning on getting Air/fuel - Boost - Oil Temp. - EGT. Just woundering where you guys mount your gauges.

I mounted mine on the pillar. Although then people will know you have something under the hood. I don't have any pics but you can see it in this video, the bottom EGT gauge came disconneccted so it's not lit.

In front of the clock on the dash. It makes them easy to read and it doesn't hinder vision.

boost, pyro, oil temp, water temp, oil presure, & wideband. i plan on getting a A/F guage from autometer and getting the converter that runs through my plx m300 to convert it into a wideband then get a dual pod to put on the flat part of the dash in frotn of the clock and add an AIT sensor as well.

i've got a 3 gauge pillar pod that will fit the g3 2 door integras for sale.

i had a big tach and 2 gauges but am getting rid of them. Blox sells a tach that fits in the small gauge pods, so that will look nicer.

I think that replacing the dimmer and curise control switches with gauges, gives a clean look. also, using a gauge cluster bezel to house 2 additional gauges is pretty trick too. I mounted a shift light on top of the steering colum, I wanted a monster tach, but 1) they are the singel most stolen part on cars, and 2) its usuially a BIG hint that you have something going on under the hood

and 3. theres no point on a street car that already has a tach.

EDIT: why the hell would anyone steal a monster tach...

That dash is busier than a one-legged man in an ***-kicking contest.

I like how the dash looks really busy and all. I'm just afraid to drill into my dash.

Where is a good place to mount a shift light (ONLY LIGHT NOT MASTER TACH)?
I think I saw it on team-integra.com where the guy mounted it where the fuse box cover is. Do you think I will be able to see it down there?

In the heater vents can be pretty cool.

I think I've decided to buy a Wideban AF - Boost - Oil pressure - EGT - and maybe a Oil temp or water temp.

I'll probably end up mounting them in a cluster brezel and either on a 3 gauge pillar pod or where the cruise control and dimmer switches are for a clean sleeper type look.

Let me know what you think and show me some more pictures. lol

don't go gauge crazy. all you need is wideband o2, boost gauge, oil pressure, and egt. those are the best to have. oil temp and water temp is resourceful, but not necessary.

there's only a few circular gauge wideband o2 sensors like AEM's uego, if you get the box kind like PLX, then you don't even need a gauge pod for it.

i'll try to take a picture of mine tonight for you. i have 2 on the A-pillar bar and 2 on the cluster bezel.

actualy you dont even realy need a wideband o2 unless your tuning it all the time. a egt will alert you to anything going bad, but both are not needed everyday.
