Well after buying my s2000 ive came to notice that it is a real bitch to put more then 3 gauges in the car.

i have two on the A pillar and a wideband in the corner by the windsheild, those all fit just fine with no obstructions.


NOW with this build i will running

4 egt gauges

1 oil temp gauge

and possibly a water temp gauge.

That make 9 gauges WTF am i going to put this ****.

last resort in the dash going across it. So let me have some pics of where i should put all this stuff.

 

Why would you even want that many gauges? And why would you even possibly need all of them. 4egt gauges? It's like you just want a light show in your car.

 

i take it you're runin' a single egt gauge per cylinder... kinda a lot don't you think?
the only way is to mount them on the pass. dash area, which unless done correctly, will look like ****.

i agree... you def have to be precise with measuring and drilling... even an 1/16th of an inch off and itll look like ****... my advice to you is mark up everything in pencil, buy stickers that are roughly the same size as your gauges and do several mock ups... the last thing u want is to have 4 guages looking like jaws mouth...

 

more like i dont want another blow up engine. the IM on the s2000 sucks *** and under boost cyl do not get even amounts of air, some more then others. in the end it will get a safer tune. i have seen first hand 4 of these engines run lean melting the # 1 cyl.

and yes one probe per cyl. not 4 egts in one lol

 

for sure, if i do it that way it will look clean. no way around it

 

I still think you are going overboard with the gauges. All you really need is boost, EGT, and maybe Oil temp/pressure.

 

and a wideband, you should have one in your car. if not if is like playing with fire

im a genius... i just had a pretty good idea... measure the rear diameter of the guages then go on the computer and make the same diameter circle, copy all 4 of them in a line and equally spaced... now u have a template which you can cut out the holes and then use to mark up the dash...

for me

i mounted mine in front of my wind screne so i can see them in the rear view mirror. i also have two down near my pedals, 1 in my shift ****, and 1 in my left air vent. i feel like i am in a aircraft or a fighterjet

just be gangsta like the 240sx guys qand just say [freak] vents...fill every vent up with a gauge. then you would be tru jdm

i cant...it is my design I WILL NOT SHARE

 

Id say buy SPA GAUGES. They are 2 gauges in 1. You would be able to get 6 gauges in 3 spots. You dont need any more than that.
