n00b question #3

whats the 4 most common a/m guages used??

u got Boost and...

also what u guys think of "defi link" guages, are they any good??

cheerZ lads

 

boost,oil pressure,water temp,oil temp i would say

 

i would say that too

 

yep those are the standards

 

i also agree with hot300zx,that bloke really knows his stuff

 

Nice to see you all working so hard =)

A lot of people don't like the factory boost and oil pressure gauges and add a 2nd set of gauges which run off the exact same system as the factory ones... but i guess they look better or are easier to read and its what everyone does

So those are the 4 most common

Some people also go for air fuel ratio for varing reasons, and others even go hard core and get one of those full system read out things like Caz has, plug in pda looking thing

Get a gauge that you think will tell you something you don't know ?

And as for the defi link ones, i dont know enough about them, some people have concerns about accuracy, but generally i find 9 out of 10 times newer can be better, just have to let the hard core guys test it first and ask them
:biggrin:

I also agree

that those listed are the most common guages.

 

maybe not with zeds but generally tachos are pretty common i think

 

hahaha simon u crack me up :biggrin:

thanks for the reply guys...was just as i thought...as for the defi link guages im thinking of getting the Defi-Link Meter BF (blue) guages and daisy chaining it off the Controll Unit II

here is some more info about the products and setup

you forgot to ask on what car, because if it was for a honda it would be

volts, vacume, a 2nd voltz gauge that doesnt work, a/f gauge

 

cylinder head temp

cylinder head temp would be usefull on modified TT i reckon

 

Trav you forgot two things:
- the hideously oversized tacho (with 12,000 rpm shift light)
- errection meter (runs off tacho, warning light when vtec kicks in, scale in mm)

 

HAHA LOL @ sandeep...thats a good one :biggrin:


i talkin about the Z of course

speakin of monster tachos...theirs a rather nice lookin supra at my work....with a HUGE tacho...im like, dude are you blind or what lol

 

heres MrG 's lol

 

Yeah, it's a huge improvement over my old setup:



The ETD (Extra-Terrestrial Dual) Pod really comes in handy for that 5th gauge! Here's what I put into the 5th spot next to the boost gauge - thanks to hot300zx (Australian stockist):
