i'm currently about 75% finished completing my CTSC kit. i plan to get a boost gauge, but i was wondering if it'd be necessary for me to get fuel and oil pressure gauges as well. would they be useful at all? or would i accomplish the same thing by just looking around the oil lines and FPR/injectors for leaks?

If you have a leaking injector and the fuel pump is running then you will know, its a very strong gas smell and you can visibly see the gas as it won't stop leaking due to the pressure. I think an oil pressure gauge should have come on the car straight from honda. Even though its just a sc'er kit you still need to know where your pressure is at.

If you've got the cash?, I'd get an air/fuel ratio guage and oil pressure, in addition to the boost guage.

if your gonna run an aem ems, just pick up there serial gauge. its da shiznit!

otherwise, will get cramped real quick with all those gauges piling up. hmmm, boost gauge and oil pressure are nice.

I'm in the same boat. My room mate told me I'll need 3 to feel safe and know the things I need to know. Boost, Oil pressure, and A/F. He's tunning my car so I know my A/Fs will be on point but he said it's always good to keep an eye on it.
When you get everything done you should come down to Va. Beach for a tune! You're using a EMS right?

i plan to use a VAFCII
i'll probably get it tuned at PTuning

Ditch the fuel pressure and go with A/F or EGT.

nightcrawler7188

ok i'll probably get an A/F gauge and a boost gauge then. but is the EGT gauge that necessary? would it let me know whether my FMIC is doing something or not?

dalink

lol na, you don't need an EGT.

a/f, oil, or boost.
