cheekymonkey Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hey guys and gals! I am trying to choose which gauges to get. I already have a boost gauge where the clock should be, looks really nice. Since I like my gadgets I'd ideally want a single LCD unit which can display everything I need, like the DEFI link thing. However, that doesn't seem to do AFR which is the main thing I need! I don't need to monitor much, I'd like EGT, AFR and maybe Oil temp, unless there are other things worth monitoring too. Any suggestions?

Lot's of people fit all kinds of gaugaes, oil temp/pressure/water temp, god knows I can't remember what else. The only ones I'd really suggest having for a BPU supra are a decent AFR gauge like the AEM UEGO or Innovative and an Oil Temp one too. Anything more may be overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything more may be overkill Yeah that's what I figured - but it's still two extra dials to fit *somewhere* on my dash. Does there exist a gauge that does AFR *and* EGT in a relatively compact form?

cheekymonkey Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Are these any good? http://www.lambodoorkits.co.uk/vems-wide-band-gauge-p-204.html?currency=GBP Don't look as nice at the AEM UEGO but it would save a pod... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Before you go blowing dollar on gauges, all you need is a boost gauge and AFR (or EGT(AFR Prefered)) gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to get AFR *and* EGT since I already have a decent boost gauge. Is the EGT not too important for BPU then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I would get both AFR and EGT, both fairly cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Not as important as the AFR. AFR's tell you more than what EGT's do No harm in getting both, its just an extra £200. Chris Wilson sells a combined AFR and EGT gauge if thats any use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 PLX Devices R500 or the new IMFD System. Will let you display everything you want in one round gauge or in a square LCD display and even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3xt3r Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Its a fantastic system and I will fit one in my next car. Costs a bit more then a normal gauge system but keeps the interieur clean without too many gauges and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I believe so Loving that DM100 Michael pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I believe so Loving that DM100 Michael pointed out. DM100 looks pretty good. A couple of the sensor modules are "coming soon" inc boost sensor which would be nice, to integrate with the one dial. Display module $259 AFR Sensor module $195 EGT Sensor module $125 So $579 for to monitor EGT/AFR with expandability down the line. Only down side (apart from it being expensive) is that the Sensor modules themselves look quite big, so does the display module. Quite a lot of kit to hide somewhere behind the scenes...

D3xt3r Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 No they are not really big. And as you can lock them all together its pretty easy to store. I think you could easily store 4-5 behind the dash under the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs a bit more then a normal gauge system but keeps the interieur clean without too many gauges and stuff. It's exactly what I'm looking for, I don't mine losing one vent or the clock but I don't want to lose everything, I have a twin pillar pod to put on but I want to be able to monitor just about everything, being able to datalog with this little fella would be useful.

D3xt3r Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 You can datalog through the USB port but there will be an datalogging modul available in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 You can datalog through the USB port but there will be an datalogging modul available in the future. You seem to know a lot about this - do u have a connection with the company? Just curious Looks like good stuff though, assuming the sensors are up to scratch.

AdDaMan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 i dont think there too expensive at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdDaMan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 yer but if you think about the innovate wideband for instance your looking at what £250? plus a decent EGT guage will be at least another £130 so thats £380 alone....whereas this is under £300 for what you listed....i think thats pretty good. i already have innovate, but duno weather to keep it and put it in the supra or get the other ones....hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
