... first off, i searched and found most everyone runs/recommends:

boost
egt
oil pressure

... personally, i will be running:

boost
wb02
oil pressure

... my question, what is the next most important gauge?...

fuel pressure?
oil temp?
amp / volt meter?
other?

... lemme know... thanks...

*edit* - typos

Boost
EGT
WB02
Fuel psi

Those are necessary for tuning. EGT reacts faster than AFR but the combo of both will allow you to tune without any guesstimation. From there I would go Oil psi, water temp and then oil temp.

Instead of running a billion gauges I wil be running a single Defi display that will show EGT, Boost and fuel psi along with a TE WB02 Version 1.5. Eventually I will add sensors for oil pis/temp and water temp to the Defi control box.

 

... thanks for the input... anyone else?

 

boost
egt
oil pressure
wb02

 

what type of setup - mild/high boost - with/without standalone? i'm running boost/oil pressure and cheap a/f meter - all electronic, - my setup is mild boost with standalone..

i dont see the need for wideband unless you're tuning, unless you want to spend extra money - it doesn't hurt to have more gauges.

if your run fmu, i would also get fuel pressure. oil temp is something i would get later on, - if you check your ignition components often enough, you can do without it..

 

... setup will be on the hack at 9-10 psi until winter... then hondata and 15-20 psi... as for the wideband, i have techedge and will be using it instead of an egt... thanks for info... i am starting to think i might not need any other gauges... anyone else?

 

i think everyone should have a water temp gauge as well

they aren't that expensive, and they are SO MUCH MORE ACCURATE than that stock bullshit that either doesn't move or overheats.

 

i'm running:
boost
EGT
water temp
fuel pressure

i'd like to get a wb02 down the road, but for now the gauges I have are very helpful IMO.
