ordering from nomad for my series 2
heater vent gauge holder(has 3 holes)
1,so thought air/flow meter
2,boost
3,?
ain't got a clue what to get so your ideas are welcome

 

I assume you mean Air/Fuel Ratio??

Oil Pressure is probably the next easiest one to connect.

 

Volts is even easier

 

why would i want volts thanks C&B

 

So u would no that the alternater is charging the battery.
What about water temp?

 

i would avoid a afr gauge unless ya get a proper jobby, the cheap ones aint acurate, point of gauges is for em to tell ya whats going on


if ya got a big front mounted i/c the water temp, oil presure and boost

 

got it from nomad take a look and tell me if it is poo. www.nomadracing.com

oh ginge get of your band wagon

 

if ya think im talking shite then

i know a memeber of thi board bought a decent afr gauge for 300 quid thats wide band and when his car was being set up it wasnt reading correctly



if ya think the afr is all cool and its not theres no point having a gauge, all its gona do is give ya a false sence of security



same with front mounted coolers , ya wanna know ya water temp otherwise listening to the ford gauge if thats wrong then good by head gasket


but then each to there own

 

if you get an oil pressure guage dont get a ancillary one cause the
sods decide to leak into your car causing oil to go every where,
thats from experience with 3 different ones, get an electrical one

 

Get a oil temp one, easy to wire in and very helpful!!

 

i would go for sumit that will help keep ya engine alive! oil temp/pressure! waster temp...sumit like that

 

why is oil temp important on a road car

 

cus once ya oil is up to temp you can then thrash ya car safe that you know your engine is at safe temp?! perhaps?!

 

mmmmmm good point that



think its not the most important though

 

b19bal,
how do you listen to a gauge ????

 

by using a headphone

 

ya know what u mean, ford gauges tell ya infomation but dont actually say "hi mate, beter slow down, getting abit hot, gonna have to melt a piston soon to get relief "


so yeah to do listen to what ya gauges tell ya


oh and what about alarms in gauges
