I am just trying to get an idea of what gauges and electronics (i.e. S-AFC, boost controller) everyone is running and what is recommended/must have. some pics of peoples setups would be nice.

HKS turbo timer
HKS EVC IV
Pivot fan controller
Greddy boost, EGT, fuel pressure, oil temperature
Proform miniature shift light
Techtom MDM-100
OE Japan 3gauge pod

I've got pics of most of the final install, but no host, anybody got server room?

I love gauges and gadgets. That's what makes the Batmobile and Black Beauty (Green Hornet car) so cool. I don't have any offensive weapons yet. My S14 is limited to performance stuff:

V1 radar detector - above rear veiw mirror
HKS turbo timer - in center console behind mirror switches
BlitZ SBC ID boost controller - by steering wheel where CC switches were
speed calibrator and alarm brain - tucked under dash
Autometer boost gauge and A/F gauge - A pillar dual pod
Soon to add SAFC probably in glove box. Then I'll ditch the useless A/F gauge for an oil pressure gauge. All this stuff, and I still have my ashtray and DIN pocket for CDs (absolute necessities)!

everything was slapped in for this pic...i gotthe visors proper now

and if you wonder why the gagues are 'crooked' is because at op temp the needles are straight up

if they are past straight up or not up at all, somethings wrong. very easy to use. so if you dont like it, oh well. haha

Could you sent me a pm on what you think are the pros + cons of an S14 SR over an S13 SR if i plan on achieving around 250-300whp, mostly for auto-x... ;)

easy to do right here
boost controller
safc
injectors


near 300
haha..thats it
of cousre doing safely with like RAS, headgasket etc would begood too but overall. very easy to do.
saying you already have exhaust and so forth. that basic SR stuff thats good for power.

and s14 has nice low end :)

I did 307 at the wheels on my S13... I just wondered how much a difference is the low end on a S14..
