Which gauges needed?
#1
I have two Aerospace Intercepter scan gauges, a wideband Dynojet Commander AFR and a Cyberdyne vac/boost with memory. I've also got a aftermarket tach/shift light.
I saw the link to the gauge pod that fits in the overhead console and I'd been thinking I'd like to have a fuel pressure gauge.
The scan guage gives me intake air temp, trans temp etc so what gauge would I want to have to fill the other hole in the overhead and what fuel pressure guage is recommended for use with the Radix?
Anybody know of or running a Radix Intercooler water temp gauge?
Thanks, Jim

I ran a water temp gauge in my intercooler line for awhile. Didn't really tell me much. You'd be better off watching your IAT's through the Interceptor.
Fuel pressure would be a good choice. The Autometer electric ones come with a sender that will thread right into the port on the driver's side fuel rail, other brands may be the same. I have gotten by just fine with a fuel pressure, tranny temp, and boost gauge. I will be adding a pair of Interceptor gauges at some point as well, once I have the laptop out of the truck when I am done tuning it. As for you, I dunno what I would put in the other hole. Maybe it would be a good idea to get a separate tranny temp gauge, so you can leave 4 other thing displaying on the Interceptor gauges. Other than that, maybe a clock??

I have to assume from all these "humorous" responses that I'm pretty well covered gauge-wise.

I think you're just fine. The only thing that even comes to mind is a pyrometer to monitor your EGT's, I don't think it's real important but if you have a hole to fill and $$ to spend (not like that
) it might be somewhat informative at least.

I'll have pics and stuff about my build before too long, just trying to tie up all my loose ends first.
