Default Gauges

Okay so Im looking into buying gauges for my car over the winter. They seem pretty exspensive for what they are. Around 50 bucks for a fuel pressure gauge. Im also thinking about getting a oil pressure gauage, as well, along with mabey one or two other gauges.

Reason being in one of my other threads, it was brought up that I should know what my fuel pressure is cause my h22a is running rich, and Im throwing a code 1. Im looking into correcting all my issues with the lude over the winterish.

So anyone with any thoughts or imput on what are good gauges, and what I would need. Im running, I/H/E Lighten Crank Pulley right now. I will be doing more upgrading but not until my H22a has itself starightened out.

$50 is dirt cheap for a gauge, IMO, especially an electric full sweep. I'd advise that you not use a mechanical fuel pressure gauge.

On my track car, I have oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp. I have a fuel pressure gauge, but I have yet to install it. All are Defi D-Gauge pieces. Very, very nice. All full sweep electronic, and the sending units are much smaller than Autometer's.

BTW, if I buy a RaceTech Dash2, all my gauges will be for sale, if anyone is interested!

I like the Apexi gauges i have owned.

Running an Apexi EL Oil Pressure gauge. I like it because it comes with its own sending unit and it mounts damn near anywhere.

I can't give advice on brands, but you need to include a wideband or its seems like there's not alot of point to it.

So a fuel,Air,coolant, and oil pressure gauge should be suffiencent for now. How much do you guys think that would run? And of course It would have to include all the hardware.

After paying for my swap, everything else just seems so cheap
