Aftermarket Gauges

Post by Shae »

Hoping that someone could shed some light on my questions here.

on my 1992, I am planning (Once I have all repairs and maintenance done) to do some performance upgrades, and am interested in adding some guages, I have already got plans of fiberglassing a custom gauge pod, based on sugestions on this forum, mainly by willwren.

I'm intersted in adding a air/fuel ratio guage, and wondering if there are recommendations, and what is required in my car? Do i replace the o2 sensor i have with a wideband, or do i add a second o2 sensor.. etc etc.

Also a transmission temp gauge, again, any sugestions. Any other gauges I should think about adding?

I am very picky about one thing, they most match my car's dash illumination, no blue gauges or anything haha.

Adding an AF ratio gauge on a stock or lightly modded vehicle is a waste of money. Either wide or narrow band. There's maybe 5 cars on this Forum that need one.

You don't have a voltmeter (alternator) gauge. Your boost gauge took that location. Do that and a trans temp gauge.
