What gauges would you put in your civic if you had to choose 3 out of the following:
Air Fuel Ratio
Boost
Oil Pressure
Oil Temp
Vacuum
Volt
Water Temp

 

the 3 I need for turbo if I have one.

 

the one that isnt on here. i would want one for my fuel.

i hate how new si's have bars and not a needle. it kills me when i lose one bar, and after i lose one bar its just downhill from there.

am i the only one that hates this?!

 

Why would you put a boost gauge in if you dont have a turbo or SC???

 

Oil temperature, oil pressure and air/fuel.

 

Honestly, it depends on what YOU want.

If your not boosted, Boost really is not needed. If your going to boost, it depends on how. If your going supercharger I suggest Boost, Wide Band A/F, Oil Pressure or Water Temp.

If you going Turbo, Boost, EGT (you don't list this one) and Wide Band A/F.

If NA, I guess I would have Oil Pressure, Water Temp and Voltage. Personally, I don't think A/F is really needed for NA.

 

Why do people need a voltage meter?

To measure load (I believe). Simply (and probably wrong), a voltage Gauge will tell you how much load you are placing on the electrical system.

All of them. On the A pillar. SO everyone can see how cool I am.

Then i'd save up for hte turbo kit so they would actually do something. But i'd never be able to afford the kit because I'd keep getting tickets for being too low or loud.

/ricer dreams

 

don't feel the need for any myself but if i have to... I'd get water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure.

 

Hellzcivic....

could you explain what EGT stands for?

I am thinking of getting turbo down the road but I just wanted to start things slowly and build my way up to the kit. I know the gauges without anything would be stupid but at least they would be ready to go when I did get the kit.

Oh...and if anyone knows any other kits besides the Greddy and AJP I would love to look at them. Thanks. (Site the website of the Turbo)

Exhaust Gas Temperature

 

Air Fuel Ratio (WIDEBAND FTW)
Boost (Only if you're actually boosted)
Oil Pressure (OK)
Oil Temp (OK)
Vacuum POINTLESS
Volt POINTLESS (unless you're into heavy car audio)
Water Temp (POINTLESS IMO since the one on the cluster works fine for me)

these are for fully built drag cars that have no alternators just battery's
