any one?

 

Oil Pressure and Oil Temp. Both worth it in my opinion. Water Temp if you something more acurate then Honda's 4 point setup.

 

If you don't know what gauges you need, why do you need them?

He wants to know which are the best to buy so he can keep a check on whats going on under the hood. Never hurt to ask a question IMO. No need to be a jerk off bout it.

 

oil pressure and exhaust gas temp

 

i would agree with the guy above and say oil temp and oil press
Mr. 999999999 shut up and get out

generally you dont really need gauages for a NA car...but if need be..
get air/fuel ratio gauge....

 

air/fuel ratio gauges are inaccurate unless you get a wideband set up like FJO or that other company..that aussie one..argh i cant think now

air/fuel guages are good for a light show though

 

Okay, any all-motor guy in the world is going to have some acurate after-market water-temp and oil pressure guages. Also it's a good idea to have a BIG oil pressure warning light hooked up to your guage. Honda oil pressure light doesn't come on until it's down to 6psi and at that point if your driving hard... your already F&)*ed! If your like me, you may also want a oil temp. guage. heat robs power. I like to know that my oil cooler is working.

 

does any one have the new JCW SPORT COMPACT CATOLGE. look on page 26 the top right hand corner. the brand is SUN PRO. im going too look for a pic on the net to show you guys. so i need,
1)a oil pressure gague
2)oil temp gauge
3)water temp?

 

are they two center consoles for a EH? but any i wanted to this in http://www.angelfire.com/biz3/...s.gif here http://<a href="http://www.angelfire...3/...o.jpg</a> but here what it said under product info...Includes water/oil temperature and oil pressure gauges and voltmeter, all necessary tubing and fittings
Backlighting plus bright red pointer ensure easy readings under any conditions
it has it does 4 thing but there are only 3 gauges...whats the deal?

 

some one?

 

any body?

 

my gauges- Oil pressure, head temp, tach, a/f. I don't have a fuel meter yet... I think if anything I'd add fuel pressure and oil temp, though it should be somewhat relative to the head temp.

 

like the pic?

 

IMHO
-Wideband O2
-Oil Temp and Press.
-Water Temp
-EGT

and try that all of them have some kind of programable warning.

 

I'm fixin' to start on my all motor D series...the gauges I have or am going to get are...

1) Oil pressure*
2) A/F ratio (I know it's not very accurate*
3) Voltmeter*
4) Fuel pressure
5) N2O pressure
_____
*I already have these...

 

is oil pressure a big issue if u dont have vtec

 

fuel pressure.
oil pressure.

junk the autometer a/f gauge, they're inaccure. if you want a/f, get a wideband.

Oil pressure guage should be the 1st one everyone buys no matter what kind of engine.
