which gauges should go where?

[karmakaze]

i have autometer phantom II boost , oil pressure, water temp, and voltage gauges as well as the Inovate XD-16 LC-1 wideband standalone kit.

I have 5 locations for gauges. 2 are on a mount on top of the steering column and 3 are in a din slot above the radio.

Obviously, the ones on top of the steering wheel are going to be the easiest to see, so one of them will be my boost gauge. The other, I am trying to decide if I should have the oil pressure or wideband.

What do you think?

I would put the oil pressure and wideband in front of you as those are the most critical ones i think.

I'd put the wideband on the steering column. The Oil pressure I'd put on the A pillar.

A pilar.

wideband on the column along with oil pressure imo

a pillar is not an option.

my vote is boost and oil pressure i was thinking of getting one of those gauge pods^^^^^ u think u could send me a pic of it in your car i also got the same front bumper as you what kind of turn signal lights are those

A/F and Oil Pressure. Look at it this way. Those two will determine if your motor lives or dies while driving. Boost is nice to see but you know its there.

Just go with the above.

i don't have that one anymore. i have a 98 kouki now. but the blinkers are off of a silvia. usdm and jdm blinkers are different shapes.

could you tell me where to get them the only pair i could find are $130

Boost and Oil Pressure where you can see them; boost spikes kill motors and lack of oiling is always a problem with the SRs.

Wideband and water temp above the radio. WTF are you using a voltage gauge for! Replace it with an oil temp, thats far more critical than voltage, rofl.

does anyone know if somebody makes a 3 gauge insert that goes below the radio for the s14?

phase2 has them. HKS also makes one that you can bore out to fit 2 1/8" gauges.

Ebay has one that angles all the gauges towards you, I'm thinking about molding it in with fiberglass to make it look cleaner. 52mm gauges fit that one

Could you post pics of the ebay pod you have mounted on your steering wheel? Im curious to as to how the cluster looks with that mounted.
