Ewen Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Anyone care to add to the impressive number of search results ? BPU....Boost gauge, EGT gauge, and if I had the money, another one. I like odd numbers. What third gauge would be most sensible. Also, where theres an electrical vs mechanical option, am I missing something if I jump straight in with electrical ?

Pig Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Oil pressure or AFR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 What about oil temp?....is it worth having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Boost gauge is essential AFR gauge should be more important than EGT 3rd gauge maybe oil pressure or EGT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Boost gauge is essential AFR gauge should be more important than EGT 3rd gauge maybe oil pressure or EGT I would have to disagree at BPU levels I would go with EGT over AFR Single then AFR 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 I was going for two gauges but Ill go for three to spread the bets... Boost / EGT / AFR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I was going for two gauges but Ill go for three to spread the bets... Boost / EGT / AFR my thinking as well to avoid any conflicts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've gone boost / AFR Can't really see the point in EGT if you've got AFR as a warning? I'm sure someone will tell me otherwise though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 GEwen...SPA gauges can read two different things at once...so 3 can equal 6 So your 3rd one could be both oil temp and oil pressure....which I think would be best. http://www.spa-uk.co.uk I'd have these 3. Boost/EGT (SPA 2in1) AFR Only (Innovative LM-1 I think) Oil Temp/Pressure (SPA 2in1) Pete, you can still have Detonation without the AFR's running lean. So I do think an EGT gauge is a suitable item to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayixer Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Scaned the pages for the 2 in 1 gauges, but must have missed if they were 52mm or 60mm anyone know ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Are there any fancy gizmos that handle all the readings in one handy little box thereby saving the need to fill the cockpit with guages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 M8, Gauges make the Supe go faster didn’t you know!!! By the time I've finished, I'll have the following fitted: 1. EGT 60mm 2. Boost 60mm 3. Vacuum 52mm 4. Oil Pres 52mm 5. Oil Temp 60mm 6. Water Temp 60mm 7. Fuel Pres 60mm 8. Power Meter 60mm 9. Voltage 48mm + 2 electronic 60mm gauges on the HKS CAMP wide-screen for monitoring other components from the ECU. This is 100% totally excessive but with the HKS CAMP; SAFC-2; DSBC-R; FATT; Blitz PM SJ; the Supra Facelift dash and one hell of a flash ICE unit, the cabin will look like the bloody star ship enterprise at night. That’s my aim:idea: I'm getting therapy so don't worry!! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
