I want to get some gauges in my balt but dont want any worthless ones. I want some that will show me something. what gauges do you guys have?

bump

 

i wanna get some too, but to be honest i don't really think theres anything worth getting unless u have a tune or something. there is really nothing u need to be monitoring carefully with a stock engine. I was looking into the autometer nexus series, they look damn good, but idk what the point would be. Basically they're just an expensive visual mod if u put them on a stock car imo. Anyone else gonna put in their 2 cents on this?

 

i think a a/f gauge will work pretty good on any car just to see what the car is running, different temps change how the car is running so it should be something good to monitor

 

oil pressure, its always good to know, and water temp

 

if you're dying to look at something though...get an MSD Dashhawk

 

well im waiting for the aeroforce interceptor for the 2.2

 

if you got a voltometer thats always good for like if you got a soundsystem that sucks up juice or if you tailgate

 

+1
dashHawk >>>>>>>>> interceptor

w/o mods gauges are pretty well pointless. unless you're rice, if so, then put a boost gauge on so you can watch it go from vaccuum to 0.
The good thing about the dashhawk is you could log your car's performance, do 1/4mi runs, 0-60 runs, etc and just track your performance w/ diff mods. plus you can read & clear codes, turn your fans on/off whenever you want (great for the staging lanes at the strip) and other useful things.

 

i like the interceptor cause its a gauge.

 

I have Voltage & Oil pressure in my car. I have a sound system so voltage is helpful. Here is a picture (the gauges are a tad dirty).

 

Are those connecting to the OBDI port?

 

A little off topic but hey WDSOCCER what size are those Unknowns u got and do u got any aftermarket springs?

 

they are 17's. no springs for me.

what does the voltage gauge do?

 

Cool cool, ive been wanting to get these but i might get 18s, again sorry for getting off topic

 

Are you staying normally aspirated? If so, you shouldn't need any fuel monitoring. If you plan on forced induction, then your list is completely different.

 

i wanna turbo it but its freakin expensive!!! maybe supercharge

 

RIght now i have oil pressure volts and a/f gauge. going to also hook up my water temp and oil temp at some point.

call me rice but its beyond me why the designer of this car didnt include any other gauges with it. i mena my 96 taurus had all those cept a/f lol. i prob will only get water temp next and not use my oil temp. not sure yet.

 

If you plan to go forced induction, then you will want a boost/vac and wideband AFR at a minimum. You may also want; trans temp if you are automatic, oil temp for the turbo inlet, maybe others depending on your setup.

 

get an air fuel gauge i have one it tells u a lot
