Ok guys getting anxious about my upcomming TT setup that I am building but I am now looking at accessories that will compliment this system. First off I am going with the 3 guage pillar pod from speedofsound so thats already decided. Now the next question is what guages I want to put in there... I have already decided on Boost and Fuel Pressure but am unsure of what I want to add in addition to that. I am thinking of adding a digital Tach with a LED Shift light display in it made by Stewart Warner but am looking for input from yall.

Also I am willing to add more guages to dash, preferably not but will if enough people think that I need extra guages say so.

Also I am going to have a shift light added to the pilar pod and possibly a second raptor shift light that will be the actual shift signal with the pilar pod shift light being a stage light at 2 or 3 hundred RPMs lower.

Well hope this gives yall some food for thought and keep the ideas rolling.

ask mod addict what kind of guages you need for a monster dd....

wideband A/F gauge is pretty nice to have in my opinion

Ortoch

what does that guage do?

An Air Fuel Ratio Gauge is a valuable tuning aid. By taking the output from an oxygen sensor, sometimes called a lambda sensor, in the exhaust of the car the a/f gauge is able to read the content and display the ratio of air to fuel that was present in the original mix.

The performance minded tuner will most likely want to richen up the mixture. A rich fuel mixture is necessary when a cold engine is first started, and additional fuel is needed when the engine is under load. Rich a:f mixtures burn cooler and decrease the risk of spark knock (detonation) when the engine is under load.

If you really want to complete your gauges then the a/f or the exhaust temp gauge would pretty much round out your collection...either of those gauges canhelp you become aware of possible leanconditions...the only problem is that even if you see lean conditions your tuner will have to be the one to address them, while boost and fuel pressure are something you can more or less do something about, i.e. check your pump or pumps, check your boost pressure at the wastegate or boost controller if you have one...oil pressure isn't a bad idea either...if that pressure suddenly drops your motor is toast if you don't catch it in time...

Being an old pilot I know how important it is to monitor engine parameters so in my TT setup I have the following gauges.

Boost/Vac
Oil Pressure
Water temp
Fuel pressure
Left and Right bank EGT
Transmission temp
Wideband AFM
