Default Which gauges??

Ok, I am thinking of getting some 52mm Defi`s to mount in a 3-gauge pod on my dash (which I already have)

The car is an MY00 WRX STi (classic shape) with a fair bit of mods including uprated fuel pump,, 3"exh and downpipe, induction, bigger TMIC etc etc.

I was thinking about going this route, but would appreciate any suggestions:

Fuel pressure
Oil pressure
Oil temperature

I already have a digital MRT boost readout, so i am looking at the best 3 options to go for here.

Thanks in advance

Question

Do you have a KnockLink and Lamda Link?


If not, they are invaluable on an Import car.

You coyuld always do as some do, and place the LED's into one of the gauge holes/spaces, and just have two gauges
Alternatively, Link were going to do some very attractive Knock gauges.

Knock Link: warns of detonation, knock, pinking call it what you will, but it destroys engines.

Lamda Link: shows the air/fuel ratio, and is another way of avoiding your engine running overhot, (and melting a piston).

KnockLink


LambdaLink


Not the prettiest things on the planet. Some other companies do AFR meters (Autometer, for example).

There's also a few DIY circuits on the web for making your own AFR and Knock displays.

Knocklink varies from £120 - £160. Comes as 3 seperate parts. The display (shown above) a Bosch sensor and a Bosch connector. Cheapest if you source the parts seperately or you can buy them all from the one source (and pay a premium).

LambdaLink is around £95.
