Hey, I'm going to get a ZPI stage 0 some time in the near future, but I wanted to order some gauges too... and I really DONT want to spend alot of money... Obviously I'd like to get a boost gauge, but after that comes the issue... I only want one more, and I have 3 to choose from: EGT, Intake temp, Oil pressure.... Which (if any) should I get???

I was hoping to get the Intake temp and get a Cryo2 system.. I thought that would be neat (the intake charge system, not intercooler) should I do that though? Or is zpi so low boost, its not even that much of a temp change??

Thanks!

Personally i think if you run turbo you should have them all. More gauges are better. If I had to choose I guess go with the egt. I still think all would be much better though.

lol why are intake temp gauges like 300 bucks??? :wtf: ?

What kind are you looking at. Seems kind of high to me too.

mike6789k

Your best bet is to check ebay. I need to find one too.

suhhh

You don't really require any for the stage 0, but the 3 that are recommended are EGT, o2 wideband, and boost pressure. That's what I'm getting along with my stage 0.

EGT, Boost, and O2 wideband Stage 1, 0, whatever.....

Wideband, Boost, Oil Pressure...EGT at the very bottom of the list..

I always used egt on my eclipse to watch for detonation. Thats why I think it is important. I am a firm believe in having them all though and doing it right. To have a well running turbo car i think it is important to have the most information on your engine at all times.

isnt there ONE thing I can buy to monitor all of this stuff... I dont want like 500 gauges hanging around, lol

A Wideband will tell you the same information as an EGT besides Temp. obviously..

The Zeitronix unit can display, BOOST, AFR, & EGT all in one compact unit, just have to buy all the seperate accessories.. Check it out.

Whatever sensors you need and want to monitor..

I ordered the plx m300. Can you tell me how wide it is. I'm trying to figure out if it will fit next to my 2 1/16" boost gauge in the cubby hole in front of the shifter.

Yea one sec, lemme find a tape measure. Ill take pics.

get the AEM wideband. it'll replace the EGT but give you real time readings on air fuel.

Pics of the PLX and sizes..
