What gauges and brands are you using to monitor performance with supercharger? I am installing a Paxton HO and want to put gauges with it. Currently looking at boost and fuel pressure with a two gauge steering column pod. It that enough. I like the old style Steward Warner gauges as I am keeping the car very heritage looking. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

 

Autometers are good. Aeroforce interceptors are great as well.

If I got a supercharger, I would get boost, fuel pressure, and A/F ratio gauges.

 

the aeroforce interceptor is an amazing gauge, check it out and you wont want anything less

 

I just did on advice of Pwny. Looks like what I need. I can go with a single steering column pod and save a little. Thanks.

 

i love those gauges, when i get blown thats what im going with...

so much monitoring in a tiny custom package, what else could you ask for?

 

What are your opinios of the Dynojet wide band AF set up???, going to use a auto meter sport comp manual boost gauge and I havent decided if a fuel gauge is needed but if so any reccomendations for a liquid filled gauge so i can mount it in the car?????

 

The interceptor gauges are great since you can monitor two things per gauge.
It makes for a clean cockpit.

 

With the interceptor gauage, how is a wideband a/f hooked up? I looked on their site and it really doesnt explain how. I would assume you just use a wideband O2 sensor but where does it hook up?

 

I have the interceptor gauges and they do most everything. I already had a wideband gauge , but I didn't have boost. I had to get a separate sensor , which they sell , and hooked it up to the one of the analog inputs. You can do the same with a wideband or oil pressure ...

 

+1 to Steve's comments.

 

I'm using the Autometer Cobault gauges because they match the blue My Color hue that I keep my dash lights set on. I have the boost and fuel pressure gauge. I'm having trouble with the fuel pressure gauge. Seems to work only when it wants to.

 

Rob-Where did you attach the fuel pressure gauge under the hood?

 

I would say get a boost, wideband and fuel pressure. The fuel pressure is important but not as important as the wideband gauge. You can get away with not having a fuel pressure gauge because if fuel pressure drops it will throw off the air/fuel ratio which the wideband indicates. Its always goos to have all three though. I have the paxton HO system and will be running a wideband/boost setup when I get it installed..

 

I am running Autometer Cobalt Boost and Wideband Gauges. Like you said, a FP gauge isn't needed due to the wideband. A wideband will team you if you are running lean/rich in real time. Also, you can datalog FP drop across injectors via your XCAL II.

 

Here is My Setup I had in My CS. Pretty Clean I Think!

The sending unit connects to the fuel rail.....I think. I had it done, but if memory serves, It taps into the fuel line right there.

 

You can get an adapter to conect at the fuel rail.Here's a few pictures of what I did.lol
