Ok this is my question i'm thinkin about adding a couple of gauges to my car but there is i problem i dont have a supercharger or turbocharger so the boost gauge is out of the question for now. so my question is can i add any other gauge to my car that will let me know other things such as oil, volt,water or other things.

 

Yeah, you can still add pretty much any other type of gauge, they are universal for the most part. Voltmeters and temperature gauges are pretty simple to hook up, just follow the directions they come with.

 

when i hook them up i wont have to hook them up through the engine or nuthing major will i

 

volt, oil psi, and maybe an interceptor

 

Your best bet is a dual interceptor setup That's wht I have. It reads off of your PCM port. Gives you RPM, Speed, Ignition, Intake tempature, voltage, collant temp, and a bunch of other cool stuff. Get one, or two. However, for my 06SS Cobalt, it does not read Oil temp/pressure, however it does have extra inputs (each gauge has 2 analog inputs) where you can buy sensor kits to install to have Analog 1 = Oil Pressure ect.

 

i run AFR, volts n vac in mine

 

id just get interceptors. or if it was me and i just had to get 2 then oil pressure and fuel pressure.

 

I think i'm gonne go with the 2 pillar pods for my 200 cobalt ls but these are my next questions?

1. whats the purpose of haveing a volt gauge or oil gauge
2. where can i get the best gauges
3. where can i get the pillar pods

 

1: Volt Gauge can show you system voltage, Mostly if your alternator dies, or if your under too heavy a load electrically, itll go down. My interceptor gauges have a voltgauge function.
As for Oil Pressure, you'll need to add a pressure sensor. Oil pressure gauge can give you better warning if you have a malfunction. By the time your oil pressure drops to turn your light on, it may be too late. With a gauge you can see it going down before its too late.

3: ZZ Performance is where I got mine, they are a supporting vendor of the sight

 

with the volt gauge how would i wire it

 

Wire it to a 12v source. Post under hood, battery, etc..

 

i think i'm gonna get one

 

As far as power, this is the easiest thing you will ever find to power it:

I agree. That's what I used and I powered all 3 gauges.

 

so i take that it works good but if i get the gauges i wont have to wire it up to the engine will i because i dont want to void my warranty

 

If you get interceotpr(s) they just plug into the PCM port. No engine wireing. Yes it does have a volt setting on it.

You will however have to wire a power up for the interceptor, Most people wire it to the pink wire on the boost gauge.

 

I have it powering all three gauges and my navigation headunit with no issues
