Well I've finally decided to start piecing my turbo kit together for my 94 h22 accord and I'm gonna have like 4 gauges, a turbo timer, a v-afc, a boost controller. My problem is where the hell do I mount all this ****?!?!?! As far as guages, I need EGT, Oil Pressure, Boost, Air/Fuel(maybe another, I dunno yet) on top of a v-afc, greddy profec b, and turbo timer. I figure I'll just set my turbo timer and v-afc in the glove box, I'll just set them and leave them. I'll get the car dyno tuned so I won't have to mess with them once they are set. But I need the profec in easy reach and my guages visible while driving, well not too far out of view. You can't get a 4-guage pod so what do people do?!?!:?! I don't want to mount them in front of the passenger on the dash b/c that is too far and I don't trust myself to custom make a center console. The Autometer 2 guage pod also only lists it as a 2/3 door accord, not a 4-door. Is there really a difference where I can't get the 2 door one to fit my 4 door car??? Civics have the option of the two guages in the center guage cluster, like in the molding to the sides, is that available for the accord yet??...or does anyone do custom center console work?!?!?

Quick note on air/fuel gagues, their crap unless you have a wideband Oxygen sensor to read.

There's plenty of places to mount gauges. Start with dual A-pillar pods.

I'll try to post some pics. of my v-afc and gauges.

 

I wish I had a pic of A Subaru that I know of
I know it is not the same car but the guages are custom(I think) and are layed out really well

 

yes, forget about air/fuel. apexi turbo timer tell you air/fuel with an actual #. much nicer imo. yea I would say you are gonna need some custom center console work. people put tv's in there, so there should be plenty of room.

 

Pods for the guages seem to be the best bet, and I have seen some nice installs of VAFC's and Turbo Timers in the ash tray area underneath the radio, as well as in the area where the AC ***** are, especially the VAFC, its almost the perfect size to fit in that hole.....

 

the pods only hold 2 guages...i'm gonna need mo.

I saw this at Import Evolutions

I got a triple one for 94-01 integra, and it fit good in my car. then I sold it to my friend with a prelude and it fit pretty good too. I think they are fairly universal, with maybe a little cutting needed.

 

my car:



those autometer a/f gauges are worthless.

 

Autometer a/f quality

Here goes my set up:

From top to bottom.....Greddy EGT, Air/Fuel, Greddy Boost



The boost controller and the turbo timer is where the coin holder used to be

 

How did you get a 3 pod for your accord?!?!?! Thats exactly what I need, for 3 guages. I figure my oil pressure can chill somewhere else b/c I use it to just see when I need to add oil really, when it loses a couple psi up top then I know its burnt some oil up. It stays constent otherwise and if I had an oil leak, it would be pretty obvious. So I guess I can go with the 3 pod and but my provec and turbo timer where the coin tray goes and my v-afc in the glove box. So basically my guage install would look like yours if I can find that 3 -pod somewhere.

 

You probably could just get a dual and a single pod.

 

Thats all that was done with this. There was this company that was trying to get some people together, almost like a group buy to make a full pillar 3 gauge pod for the accords, but we didn't get enough people. I don't think that this company is going to offer it again, but it will shurly be nice if they did, i would love to have a full pillar of gauges

 

here's my car... blitz boost gauge is on left pillar... apexi vafc and turbo timer are together where the ashtray used to be... the turbo timer is my air/fuel gauge... for your other gauges, mount them on the passenger side below the airbag... i think you can get a dual gauge pillar but i'm not 100% sure if they are available for 94-97 accords...
