Custom Piller AND Gauge question!!!

Alrite so i made a 3pod gaug piller for my car...fiber glassed and paint matched!!!!





now i got all the spots for gauges but i'm stuck on what to get....
heres what i think my options are rite now...
1)dual intercepter's(the new ones with shift lights)

2)AEM UEGO afr and a EGT gauge

i'm open for any ideas and thoughts but keep in mind i'm makein decent power so far and its only going to get pushed higher and higher as the summer goes on so i need/want to keep track of the most important stats of the engine.

lets see what ya'll think!

Sweet a pillar. I would definatly get something that covered AFR and EGT.
I would probably replace the stock boost/vac gauge with a mechanical one also.

Run the AEM and an Interceptor. Are you going to sand and refinish your pod at all? It looked like a good start when I saw it on Saturday.

The new Interceptor can be hooked up to run as a display for an A/F gauge. I bought an LC-1 and am going to use the Interceptor as one output and my HPTuners as another.

I am almost positive that the LC-1 has two analog outputs. I am trying to find where it states it in the manual. The manual does mention using two analog outputs but I am looking for somewhere that states how to program the two outputs.

the lc-1 is a a/f controller. it includes the o2 sensor but like other widebands is programmable for volt output and channel output of your wideband display. my wideband came with program designed to reprogram the controller as well as a program to monitor the AFR on your laptop.

I agree. Maybe you should talk to Black Cat Customs to make you a guage cluster that will match your A pillar gauges.

yeah you have to have a controller box. Basically the o2 sensor is just collecting data but has no way to transform it into what you want to see. You can go with almost any wideband controller. I chose the LC-1 cause a lot of guys like it with the HPTuners. From the controller you have a bunch of wires, two of those wires are outputs, one power, and a whole bunch of grounds. LOL It seems that the biggest thing when wiring your wideband is to make sure you have everything properly grounded.

There are a lot of cheap controllers out there. If you plan on one of the new Interceptors you can get away with just an 02 sensor and controller box, you don't need to buy one with a display unit.
