Gauges for A pillar - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm trying to revise my Christmas list. I want to install 3 pod for my A pillar. I want an air fuel ratio gauge, an exhaust temp gauge, and a boost/vac gauge. But tell me this, I do plan to turbo my car, but is it FULLY RICE to install a boost gauge with no boost???

Maybe I should just ask for a cam regrind, or a racing seat?

If you put that in, would you have to take your tweeter out? or am I thinking of a different guage mounting thing?

Thanks guys, but do you think the boost/vac gauge is rice without the turbo in???

I have a two gauge pod and I raised it slighty to leave the tweeter inplace. I would go with an air fuel and fuel pressure, oil pressure and leave the boost till you have some.

Get a 2 gauge pod. I have a 2 gauge pod and can't imagine a 3 gauge, it would be to big and annoying looking. Also yes it would be Rice if you put in a boost gauge with out a turbo, even if you "plan" for one.

My vehicle will remain a no rice zone, so I'll lay off the boost.  But with the exhaust temp gauge, does it simply wire up, or does it require some additional parts to measure the temp?

An air fuel gauge can splice right into a EC wire, a exhaust temp reader needs additional parts i believe atleast i think it do's for my car.
