Aftermarket Gauge Placement

Hey I was wondering where you guys place your aftermarket gauges?

I currently have my boost gauge mounted at the base of the a-pillar which is barely legal but I haven't been pulled over for it so I can't complain (yet).

I've got an EGT I'd like to mount soon as well as Oil Temp & Pressure (2 x gauges), Air Fuel Ratio and possibly a Fuel Pressure gauge.

All suggestions are welcome. Pics of your gauge placements would be even better.

Car is R32.

Farkkk...

Too many gauges.

I got three in my centre console GT-R stylin' (oil temp, oil pressure, water temperature).

Boost gauge on column.

I'd like an EGT but that's about it. I suggest perhaps an Apex pen timer with O2 AFR reading included. Ask yourself if fuel pressure and all the other crap is needed.

Water temp. is useless if you have a PowerFC.

I have Autometer boost and A/F gauge jammed at the bottom of the A pillar with Oil temp, Water temp and Oil pressure in the bottom slot in the centre console as the Climate control sits in the top din slot and the stereo sits in the second slot.

In an R32 GTS-t.

good place: air vent on RHS of dash next to steering wheel...

you can get defected for obstructing view or obstructing other instruments so be careful...

Yeah I had thought of placing the EGT there but seeing as I already have trouble seeing the vent whilst driving it's not much use placing a gauge there...

I'm lost...

Nah, I wish, the 3 in the console came out of a mates car when he sold it so i got them on the cheap, mainly because i wanted the oil pressure as the factory gauge is a bit intermitent.

The boost and af meter were out of my old car and i wanted to know what was happening with fuel mixtures when i started winding up the boost. Af gauge is really an indication only but if it's anywhere but full rich when i put my foot down then i know to back off.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
