Hey guys, new here, I have an N/A 07 alloy gt. I want to put in a few guages, so that I can know what is actually going on in my car, so I dont have to rely on the idiot on/off guages and the ones that arent, dont have any numbers.
So, what guages would be most useful to me, I want eletronic guages, and I was thinking about oil temp, oil pressure, and im not sure what else? water temp? Fuel pressure? tranny temp? etc?
I'm going to do a 3 pod setup, so whatever you guys think is best let me know! Also what brand of guages would you suggest, I'd like them to be able to have led lighting in blue? Thanks

 

check out the new AeroForce
gauge, many gauges in one....

 

yeah, but it seems like that has to be plugged into the port under the dash to read things, id rather have a real reading, and not have to be plugged in? But even so, is this still able to have avtual temp readings? how does that work? Without installing senders etc, how does it get pressure readings and temps?

 

it uses the OBDII port as you said, it
can read all of the temps and pressures that
the PCM can....

i'm sure moose, wally or stkjock, can explain a little more

 

There is no accurate oil pressure sender on our cars at least not to my knowledge, so that's one parameter the Aeroforce Gauge won't read accurately.

 

yeah, i thought about that....

but there is a oil temp sensor on the pan, so
i believe the aeroforce should be able to
display it......

 

I like the Steeda 3 A-Pillar Pod... looks good! I would only add gauges if I was FI though ... JMO

 

+1.. i did this in my car.. only a 2 guage pod from SOS.. love the pod.. and having the guages.. but its not worth it unless your Forced induction.. its pointless really.. maybe if you were at like full bolt on status.. then ya.. or if your running a bottle.. then for sure.. but otherwise.. pointless..

although i loveeeeeeeee the feeling as if im in a race car.. at first i wanted blue.. but i got ones that changes color with a button (glow shift) dont by them.. they suck.. sept for the lighting.. but then i saw the red, and i changed the dash color to red also, and omggggg.. it looks like sex at ngiht.. i love it.. but i also feel liek a piece of **** sometimes bc i feel like a poser.. but w/e, flame on. but i learned my lesson..

but do it if you want.. its cool having them thats for sure.. can never have to many guages..

still considering putting a tach on the dash wiht a shift light..

 

the cool thing about the Aeroforce is that in addition to reading 40+ levels off the PCM you can hook up to the analog inputs and read anything else you want (as long as you add the proper sensors) the plug and play set up makes if a very easy install. I read a post about an install with the SOS pillar pod and the Aeroforce being done in 15-20 mins.

so far I only have 10 mins of seat time with mine as the car has been in the shop for tranny work for almost 2 weeks.

heres a view of them...

 

I have 3 in the autometer pod ... Fuel pressure, Boost and Wideband A/F
