Where's YOUR Nitrous Gauge?
 

Looking at going spray this winter, wondering where to mount the gauge?

Show off pics of YOUR Setup!

What about fuel pressure? It's a nice thing to monitor when runing N2O, just a thought.

Good idea! I definitely want my setup to be as safe as possible. I will be using a Fuel Pressure Safety Switch, as well.

Post pics of pillar setups, as well! Thank you for the suggestion. My buddy 5LTREATR on this forum has a wideband o2 gauge in his, but I don't think I need (Read: Can afford) that just yet. ;)

i to am putting in a nitrous system this winter/spring. i have the fuel pressure switch, so im not going to worry about a fuel pressure gage.
im going to leave my nitrous pressure gage back at the bottle, since i dont want to buy a $235 electric gage.
you could make a custom holder to fit inside that opening in front of your shifter. that is where i put my air/fuel gage.

I have mine inside the vent closest to me. I have a 2 1/16 gauge and have foam around the gauge and put the vent back in place. Now if I dont want anybody to see it I just flip that vent closed. Oh the light is hooked up to my heater sw. so it doesnt come on with the lights eather.

thats pretty slick..got any pics n20junkie

My suggestion is the dyno tune gages they are the slickest and best priced gages. On sale right know for $160. I have both the fuel and N2O press in a gage pod.

I like the fuel press gage because I had problems with my FPSS and read alot of people are having them too, so I removed it.

Those pod mounted guages are sweet.
I just posted to another thread w/some pics of mine if you're on the fence about which types of guages/location....

LowETz - Sweet setup!Bad ass! Do you have any pictures of them at night? What do they look like?

glove box I like looking stock as possible.

They are blue led. you can get red green or blue led and black or white face. I love the way dynotune gages hook up they have the smallest sensors and the wiring harness is complete with everything.

Z284u2try - how are you able to see what the gages are monitoring from the glove box?

3 gauges on the pillar was alittle much for me so I stuck it in the vent.

Excuse the mess, the car is under reconstruction.

GM Muscle - nice set up.

I use the Dyno-tune square digital nitrous gauge. You can mount and move it anywhere in the car.

No I use my dig camcorder to take all my pics and when I updated to service pack 2 I cant get any video, just audio. So I cant even save my videos on my computer anymore.

Respectfully disagree. It's a good job, don't get me wrong. I would get dizzy looking so many places. I do Fuel Pressure and Nitrous Pressure on the pillar...that's it.

I understand where your coming from but there is a method, you have alot to monitor in very little time at the track. Nitrous pressure is something to worry about before I stage so it's kinda grouped with what I check at that time. I purge down to about 1050, make sure the shifter get's put back in D, make sure the LL is deffinatly deactivated, make sure the 1st stage is activated and heater is on, hit record on the LM-1, then I double check my pressure again just before I roll in since I usually have it at about 1200 coming out of the lanes. Scanmaster is straight ahead so I can monitor knock and O2s along with everything else in the cluster, and FP is eye level so I can always see it out of the corner of my left eye. For me it makes for a nice little system, even if some of it came by way of coincidence.:)

Something tells me you are going faster than me! LOL. It wasn't that long ago that I had no gauges at all. I'm glad this thread brings to light the need for gauges for even the casual racer like myself. I used to get so pumped on my first test and tunes passes that i'd forget to even arm the nitrous...seems funny to think that's even possible...but its happened a couple of times. :jest:
Anyway - the A Pillar is a good convienient place to start. As you require more monitoring grab what space you can and get used to it. Once you start to depend on a gauge or you start to retain a plethora of data, its feels REAL odd to NOT know what's happening!! :eek2:

lol. I deffinatly understand that. My first 10.1 pass the car suprised me so much that I was just stuffed in the seat with my eyes wide open holding my breath. I didn't know what the hell was going on but sure was fun. :jest:

nah Andrew is slow as hell ;)
