what are the most important gauges to get for nitrous? im guessing air/fuel,oil pressure, what else?

 

i put in nitrous and fuel pressure guages with my kit. the nitrous one is nice to have if you can't see or don't have a guage mounted on your bottle. you probably don't really need a fuel pressure guage since you have a dry kit, it won't engage if the fuel pressure is low, although i could be wrong. it's still nice to know though.

 

thanx. any other gauges i might want?

 

i just bought a pod that holds 3 gauges, i already bought a air/fuel and oil pressure. what should the 3rd one be? volts? exhaust temp? oil temp? any suggestions?

 

I would get nitrous pressure. Night and day difference between 600 and 1000psi.

 

i already got a nitous pressure gauge. and a fuel pressure

 

you may think about an egt guage.

 

Not important for nitrous, but important to monitor your engine at all times. Get an oil pressure gauge.

 

anticrack- what is a egt gauge?

 

anyone?? what should my 3rd gauge be? water temp? exhaust temp? tranny temp? oil temp?

I second getting an oil pressure gauge.

 

anyone else?

 

You alrady have a water temp gauge in your stock cluster, correct? I don't see a need for another one. EGT would also be kinda overkill, because you aren't doing much tuning with the nitrous. An EGT gauge is good for monitoring, but it's mainly for tuning purposes.

 

Sell your stunna AF gauge and get an oil pressure gauge.

That is all you really need with nitrous.

 

ya i didnt think i would need much. i was told to atleast get the oil pressure and air/fuel gauge bought i was able to get a triple pod for the same price as a double so i was just wondering what the 3rd one should be. and the stock cluster does not have a water gauge. but no one has clearly answered my question yet. witch one would be most useful for monitoring my engine?

 

Air/fuel guages are worthless crap unless they are a wideband like the AEM. The oil pressure guage is nice, especially if you ever plan on raising rev limit. Higher rev limits means more possiblilty of an oil pump breaking, which would make an oil pressure guage a good idea.
