Some of you have air to fuel, oil, boost gauges, whatever gauges. Is there are any functional use that comes with it. Can you adjust your fuel to air ratio on the go, and what gains you get in HP.

 

Gauges will only let you monitor what is going on. You can't adjust anything. A/F gauge tells you how rich/lean you are running and is especially needed if you have boost. Run too lean with boost, and your engine may go *boom*. Boost gauge tells you exactly that: how much boost you are running (psi, bar, etc...) You can have other gauges too like coolant temp, oil pressure, etc....

 

thanks, man....I thought there are gauges that also allow you to adjust smthg. That way, if you dont have a S/C then you dont care about your A/F ratio, 'cause if it doesnt do you any good.

 

well, even with a few mods, knowing you A/F ratio would be a good thing. the Apexi AFC controller can control A?F ration and is a gauge, but won't work on our cars

 

thanks for edu, boyz. But I guess shelling out few hundred $ just to know your ratio doesn't make any sense..unless you're serious about modding.

 

Unless you want to get the cheap gauges... which work the same as expensive $250 Apex'i gauges.

 

I'm only asking questions to become a well-rounded off person. Not plan on modding for like another year...except some rims and tint

 

Autometer gauges are fairly cheap. Look into those if you want gauges (water, fuel pressure, oil, tranny, volt, etc).
