for argument's sake you can either have 2 or 4 gauges (exclude tacho and speedo from this!!!) ... fuel level is a no no due to lack of sender, and so is boost cos it's a normally aspirated engine... which would you have?

I'm thinking oil temp water temp, oil press, fuel press.

what do you all think?

vroooom ptssssh

i'd agree is fuel pressure essential though?

Markb_s1

not really but it's either 2 or 4... and i'd say the other 3 are well worth having.

i think you have it spot on for a N/A engine

Definitely oil pressure and temperature if it's a CVH!

Markb_s1

not a CVH.. never ever agin.. and certainly not N/A

sorry, maybe my savatar is misleading.. will have to change it!!!

EGT is useful on any engine, as is lamda

Markb_s1

yeah, well i may worry about that later on, but worth considering.. exhaust will probably cost me plenty of cash, so probably worth sticking the boss in for another tenner or whatever.

Lambda boss is 6 quid from SBD IIRC
And i think its a fiver for a blanking plug until you hve a sensor (or use any old one for that)

Markb_s1

out of interst, what's the difference between lambda, EGT and AFR?

I'm guessing ETG is just temp, lambda is the mixture in the exhaust ans afr is measured somewhere inlet side?

EGT = Exhaust Gas Temp
AFR = Air Fuel Ratio

sounds about right, wouldnt bother with AFR on a N/A

Markb_s1

difficult to measure on throttle bodies or twin 48s!
