Pig Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Does anyone have one of these? And do they recommend getting one? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 better than an EGT gauge........gives a more accurate idea of what's happening inside the combustion chamber. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Good question, I was planing on getting one at some stage, I think AEM ones that places like Thor do might be quite good like this one http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/AEM_Universal_UEGO_WBO2-304100.asp It's got to be a good thing to have, bit like a boost guage, important so you can keep an eye on things...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I've got the Innovate Motorsports standalone gauge and it's definitely worth the money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 defo worth while if thinking about going single or hybrids go standalone with the aem or innovate one i belive the innovate is supposed to be the better of the two thats why i brought the aem lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 sorry for delayed reply, So the answer seems to be yes. I already have a boost and EGT so whats the recomendation??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 AEM but not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 No worries. i do less mods but like to do the best ones when i can afford to. Where is the best place to get AEM ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 any of the traders really - i got mine from Envy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Cheers buddy, I see you have one fitted in the air vent and one in the clock. My clock slot is already full. Is the next step cut a hole or airvent??? Dont want pillar pod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 my AEM is in the clock - i still have both of my air vents Whats wrong with a pillar pod eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Lol, just not my style. sorry just realised thats not a photo of your car. Any idea's any one? clock space gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I prefered the idea of the innovate, as I've heard that the AEM's scale is a little too narrow, whereas the Innovate is programmable. Also as the Innovate gauge is sooooo thin, it is much easier to install, I got mine fitted into the position of the crappy facelift boost gauge. Plus it's pretty cheap if you get it from Dusty and MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I'd like to know, what makes one better than another? What makes the innovative better than the aem for example? I'm not suggesting it is/isn't, just what makes a good one? ooops cross posted, think you've probably just answered that ben lol. do they all have an output for an EMU such as the emanage though? oh and if you have an o2, do you really need an egt as well, are they kinda telling you the same sort of thing?

Homer Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Lol, just not my style. sorry just realised thats not a photo of your car. Any idea's any one? clock space gone The 'normal' spaces are: - The two air vents - Clock space - Single, Double or triple pillar pod - Triple pod that replaces the top glove box/air bag - Remove the stereo and fit two large gauges - Get a single DIN stereo and fit small small gauges in the spare din space. - Drill a 'pod' type gauge to the top of the dash Not sure theres many other options. Personally I'd go for a single pillar pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 hmm, i wonder i wonder. How essential is this extra gauge? Should i wait and see what boost im running then ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I don't think you need one until you start running noticeably higher than standard boost, what boost are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Note: The first pic is of a "custom" or home made gauge with the internals of the old style FJO unit which, was in fashion a few year back.

I prefered the idea of the innovate, as I've heard that the AEM's scale is a little too narrow, whereas the Innovate is programmable. . Open questions: Do you need to consider the refresh rate of the gauge/sensor anymore ? Life of the sensor ? - Do people consider this when using race fuel OR just topping up etc...? Can you get hold of spare sensors ? Do you want the range to go below 11:1 ? Do you want data logging ? Can you programme it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'd want one that: 1: Could interface to an aftermarket engine management system (data out) 2: Had a reasonable sensor life when used with regular fuel 3: Used fairly standard, common sensors that are readily available and can be purchased separately without mortgaging the house and maybe had a programmable alarm to warn when it's dangerous, guess an emu can be programmed to do this if the two are connected? as long as the refresh wasn't ridiculously slow I wouldn't care so much about this. afr of 11:1, thats very rich isn't it, is it useful to have one that can go below this? do most of the brand names mention cover these features?

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Can I see a pic of that please Ben? Best I take a photo of it then hadn't I.... Will try and take a pick soon Jake, but it will be dark by the time I get home so it may be tomorow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
