i have a boost gauge which on the dash surround mounted where the old fuel computer should be.

been thinking and looking at gauges, need to know what i need.

car is totally standard, so oil i guess, maybe a water temp gauge or is the dash gauge for the engine temp good enough. I see theres a battery one not sure on that and read somewhere a fuel pressure gauge.

let me know the essential gauges to get please

many thanks

 

oil temp, water temp and oil temp. imo stack ones are the nicest with the clack surround

 

Boost, Air fuel ratio and oil pressure are my choice of additional gauges.

Edit to add I'm struggling to find a good spot for the oil pressure gauge.

 

This is what I had...





Oil pressure, Oil temp, Boost, Fuel, RPM, Speedo, Water temp and a lean AFR warning light.

 

Hi mate, what clocks are they Karlos they look the nuts!!

Modernizes the dash a fair bit i think

Here's my guide for fitting...

A fuel air mixture gauge would be good, hows it done. i looked into it and read that you gotta drill and hole in the exhaust near the manifold add a lambda sensor, attached, weld up and thats it, apart from the full spectrum lambda sensor being expensive.

a boost, oil temp, oil pressure gauge sounds good,

 

love the gauges you have fella, is that 3 pod holder a universal one from ebay or specialist fit for the escort mk4 dash?

 

Cheers mate, it's a one off custom made holder.

 

is it simple to wire up the oil gauges?

water temp goes to the temp sender, boost gauge t piece to back of inlet, what about the oil pressure and temp hows that done?

 

Sandwich plate between oil filter and cooler.

 

How much to fit that in mine bud??

 

I've got a boost gauge and oil pressure boost in the top f te steering cowling (got one for sale 25 quid) and oil pressure where the fuel comp was

 

Any pics??

 

A lot... the gauges on their own were around £700! lol

 

Maybe il go the easier and some what cheaper one and get 3 off the shelf gauges and a pod

 

Just bear in mind you do get what you pay for with gauges, cheap £15 ebay ones are cheap for a reason, but there's no need to go as expensive as I did.... I just really liked them! lol

 

Something il see you about bud probably the end of the year, unless anything good comes up of course
