you dont NEED a wideband afrg. they are hell expensive and tuners use them. just leave it to them. but your standard narrow band gauge gives an indication of possible problems. its not worth paying $600+

as an eg, i have, afrg, boost, water & oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure gauges

I'd get gauges in this order, boost, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, afr an so on.. and try get a gauge with a warning light or a preset you can set the ' max ' of somethng and it'll flash or alarm, they're the best, my apexi el boost gauge lights up red if the car overboosts, which is great insurance as i'm usualy watching the road when i drive..

ull need a wideband afr gauge or dnt bother. volt gauge is gay.

i wanna get a inlet temp gauge next

To be realistic... I wouldnt even bother getting an AFRG....You'll know if your car is running lean or rich anyway.. Well i can tell.

Go with Dyna's suggestions.

as i was saying they are pointless unless they are accurate wideband gauges.. :P

Tell that line to your engine builder.."i knew my engine was running rich just before i saw a piston inbed itself in the bonnet !!".

I dont believe that for a second.You might be able to get a idea but throu listening but you dont know exactly what your air/fuel ratios are...

Ah in most cases you cant unless you have a meter or gauge. you might be able to hear an audilble knock or ping bit the damage is usually already done.i wouldnt rely my hearing on a modded import with a bit of boost and timing.

Get a stoich guage there only a 160 dollars approx.. maybe cheaper these days.

u dont necessarily need to be running lean to be pinging/knocking...large amounts of timing can do that on its own

whch is waht I have been saying for ever but no one beleived me

till my car hit the rollers ha ha

Coilovers are HSD HR's with 5kg/front 4kg/rear springs, perfect for the street, but still firm cause they're the track spec damper..

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
