My SR swap (S13 SR into S14 240) starts tomorrow and I need some advice about where to put my gauges and electronics. I've got an oil pressure gauge, boost gauge, and egt gauge, and an safc-2, apexi turbo timer, and Greddy Profec B boost controller. I've got a gauge pod for the boost and egt, and i think my oil pressure gauge will go where my cig lighter is, but I need my cig lighter for my radar detector so I have to figure out where to remount it. Any suggestions? Also, my SAFC-2 will probably go in the cubby hole next to the cig lighter, and my turbo timer below that, but where should I put my boost controller. I'm trying to maintain a very clean interior look, so I want to find someplace where it would look normal in. Thanks for the help.

There was a post on here a while back with interior pics from alot of peoples car, I dont feel like searching for it but you could probably find it pretty easily. There were alot of different set ups, that should give you some different ideas.

Yes, I started that thread, the problem was no one had the same amount and/or type of electronics that are going inside my car. If someone has any ideas about what to do about my problems listed above or what they've done in their cars, I'd like to hear it. Thanks

Use your imaginaion Sit in your car and just imagine the stuff in there. What will you be using the most? Put it somewhere easily accesible within reach. Mount your gauges within easy viewing so you don't have to take your eyes off the road to see them

My suggestion would be to put the boost gauge close to the steering wheel so you can see it easily. The rest of your gauges mount it in one of the dins, just make some sort of custom bracket.
