were to put my gauges?

jamie_w456 · 10-26-2004, 05:05 PM

i would like to put a boost gauge forsure and maybe an air/fuel ratio gauge. i'm going to go with autometer but i saw a piece that is sold for the sti it fits around the instrument cluster (speedo, tach) and has two holes on the side of it for two gauges. has anybody used this before does it fit nice and look good. i'd appreciate some feedback and pics if anyone's got them.
thanx

Suggestion: Don't install an air/fuel gauge. They are next to worthless for monitoring, but might make a nice conversation piece. Do the boost and maybe a EGT, oil pressure or oil temperature.

Get a wideband if you really want to monitor afr's.

I have a autometer single a pillar housing and another houseing that is molded to fit in the upper right hand corner of the dash, very trick looking

Get boost, EGT, and oil pres.

3 gauges in the middle, that replace your clock.

if you really want air fuel ratio, AEM makes a good one but pricey.

Air-fuel guage's are useless...widebands on the other hand are not.

v8subie · 11-19-2008, 02:07 AM

so what does a wideband display...? I could've sworn that it displays AFR's.

Air-fuel...BUT, there are air-fuel guages that are useless and tap into the stock narrowband o2 sensor. The there are widebands that have there own o2 sensor and are very accurate.

But to say an AFR gauge are useless is crap. I'm in the process of buying one, wideband, due to the fact I'm learning how to road tune using open source. So I disagree with said statement of "worthless for monitoring".
Wideband or narrowband, it's still an afr gauge which still displays AFR's.
