Thinking about getting the triple gauge pillar from Autometer but what gauges do I need to run?? Also how are glow shift gauges? They have a sale now that has the triple pod and gauges for 150$.

I'm running Autometer Nexus gauges on my A pillar for wideband, boost/vac, and fuel pressure. Also have an aeroforce interceptor in the center middle vent location. The Nexus gauges are ridiculously expensive, but they have a ton of cool features like recording/ logging, peak display values, ability to change the color of the gauge with the touch of a button, adjustable "danger" area where if the gauge gets to, it will change the color of the gauge, etc. The color changing faces under danger parameters REALLY helps when you are trying to keep the car just going straight- you don't have to be looking directly at the gauges, the color change will catch your eye should something get out of line without taking your eyes off the road.

I run three interceptor guages. You can also run two inputs into the interceptors so you get the equivalent of 9 guage potential. Currently I run add in wideband,fuel pressure in car and nitrous pressure as additional inputs. The interceptors are actual scanners as well and can even do things like 1/4 mile ,they can be programmed to warn like a shift light or knock light,etc. They can clear engine codes,read them ,etc. They are pricey but they are nice. I wish some company woiuld come up with a actual direct pilllar replacement I hate these sandwich pillars.

For boost guage have my eboost2.

i have regular autometer phantom gauges.
wideband air/fuel....thats the one i look at the most.
Fuel Pressure...I never look at that unless there is a problem with running out of fuel.
Boost...i glance at it a time or 2 going down the track as well.

These gauges look really neat & have some of the features like the Nexus gauges. NASCAR is using them currently.

I'll probably be using the Autometer ES series myself to match my stock gauges.

I use all AEM gauges, a little more money but its easier to log with them.
I have the tru boost, fuel pressure, and wideband in my triple pod.
I bought the glow shift gauges first because they were cheap, and they were just that cheap my boost gauge came about 2 psi off on a mechanical gauge.

Autometer Ultralite boost/vacuum, trans temp, pyrometer, fuel pressure.
Most other brands are cheaper, but you usually get what you pay for.

AEM Uego A/F Gauge, Autometer Mechanical boost gauge, Autometer Fuel Pressure Gauge for me

Auto meter Z series looks closest to the stock cluster IMO. My gauges look like ****. I have like 4 different kinds: Interceptor, AEM wideband, AEM boost controller on my cage. And a Z series trans temp gauge by my cig lighter area on a custom panel.

So im thinking boost, fuel pressure and wideband for gauges. My DSM buddy thinks I should get an EGT gauge though?

I was just about to say, ive heard good things about prosport!

How do you like the ProSport Premium gauges? Got any pics of them?

you can get the interceptors to pretty closely match stock firebird gauge lighting and they have invert function so you get like orange with black lettering or black with orange lettering. Wish they had a bit more brighness on max setting though. As said these guages go way beyond ordinary and can monitor all you ecu parameters ,they can be set to flash on knock if it gets too high very useful one for fi guys and they can take additional 2 inputs each so as said my 3 aeroforce can take the place of nine individual gauges.Add in the quartermile timer not sure about 1/8 mile and ability to read and clear codes they are pretty much unbeatable..
I have not added egt yet not sure how much really need egt. Usually if you have afr good and timing good and no knocking happening egt is not as critical I dont' think.

I havn't heard much feedback on the glow shift gauges. I'd say most people have autometers, interceptors, aem, and some with prosports. For three gauges and a tripple pod that seems really low.

By far the best gauges for the money, I'd HIGHLY recommend them. I had the ProSport Premium Series boost, EGT, and oil pressure gauges in my 575whp Civic, and they were awesome. Also have them in the RX7 (the ones I listed above). I compared the boost gauge with an autometer gauge and they were exactly the same.

Also, EGT is a good idea IMO for every turbo car.

I love them. They look great and are easy to read at a quick glance. Warning feature saved me a couple times when the EGTs got a little toasty doing highway pulls. Peak recall is always a nice peace of mind feature to check after each race or "spirited driving session".

I don't have any pictures currently, but I'll run out and snap a few pictures of the water temp/oil pressure gauges in the factory RX7 cluster (triple pillar pod is out of the car right now)

Mix and match mess. One Interceptor with wideband capability, raptor shift light, Autometer digital boost/vac, cyberdyne digital fuel pressure with memory

Would EGT be better than Fuel pressure?

The Beast

iTrader: (16)

IMO, no not really. I'd get boost, egt, and fuel pressure on the pillar, and a hand held wide band like an Innovate LM1 or LM2.
