Default questions about Trick Performance Volume Gauge

well search sucks so i'll just make a thread.

i want to get a Trick Performance Volume Gauge for my setup but am unsure as to what i can monitor and what i need.

i want to monitor fuel pressure, nitrous pressure, and wideband.

can i do that? i know i need shp-1500 for bottle pressure. i think that has to be one pressure that i read.

from what i understand, it is capable of bottle pressure and wideband out of the box with appropriate sensors. can i then add a fuel pressure sensor and read that along with nitrous pressure and wideband? it seems like the gauge has 3 different displays for different readings that i could toggle through, i could be wrong.

what sensor do i need for fuel pressure?

what is a good wideband to use with this gauge? i have a 95 z28 LT1

i also have an NX auto-bottle heater with nx pressure sensor. can this gauge control that or do i need a different sensor?

thanks guys!

The Trick Performance V Gauge

I am using a LC1 and an Autometer Nitrous sending unit (Nitrous Outlet has sending units that work with it as well).

The gauge will do either Wideband or Fuel pressure but not both.

So it will do Nitrous Pressure (and the volume is based on programming your first bottle though it), and either WB or fuel (but not both).

The Gauge will also activate the heater (based on pressure that it is reading).

Download the instruction set from the Trickperformanceproducts website for a pretty detailed info pack on it.

Your choice, the gauge gas high and low shut downs, so if you run it as a fuel gauge you can effectively use it as a FPSS, if you run it as a AFR gauge you can set it as a lean shutdown.

I would recommend AFR and if you get into tuning just use a fuel pressure sending unit (no gauge) and log fuel pressure.

I can help you with Tech stuff.

The gauge has 2 analog input. 1 input is set up for nitrous pressure, has 20ft of lead right off the gauge. You will need this sensor if you want to controll the heater feature. The sensor also add to the accuracy of the guage.

The 2nd analog input can be a pressure or wideband. You have to choose. If watching air fuel fuel pressure gauge really is not needed unless you just want one.

If you wanted to watch all three option I would recommend both V and P gauge package. Then you can watch, controll a progressive nitrous system with just 2 gauges..

Let me know if I can help with any tech stuff..
