guages and pods

The SOS replaces the entire A pillar...its $140 but its a OEM color match

Yea mine isnt but I got it for $20shipped... works good for me adds a little contrast lol... But that means its alot eaisier!

I plan on ordering the stuff soon...maybe even tomorrow . Once I get my car back out for the year (hopefully soon) Rob (bigmofo) said that he would help out with the install. I have never done anything like this but i'd like to learn. At the same time ...I dont want to mess anything up and kill the car

the fuel pressure you def want electric, but i know many people running mechanical oil. a well put together unit wont go spewing oil everywhere

 

[matt07gt]

ive found the cobalts oil,trans temp, and voltage all in electric for under $200...not too bad

 

[BlackStang14]

I hate electrical... But you can pop out the entire interior of our car very easily...

 

[matt07gt]

What would I need to pop out?

 

[BlackStang14]

To make your life easier...
Corner door trim.
Under the steering wheel trim.
And inner back fender well

 

[matt07gt]

do they come with detailed install instructions? Also....where do you hook up to get the trans temp???

You dont need detailed instructions...

YOu will need a sandwich adapter for oil pressure...
YOu will need a fuel rail adapter for fuel pressure...
Trans temp I "heard" was a bitch to install...
Air Fuel is easy just weld in a spare bung...
Water temp I have a write up in my build thread...

anything needed for voltage?? im doing trans temp, oil pressure, and voltage

also...ive never heard of a sandwich adapter...but it makes me hungry LOL

 

[BlackStang14]

Volts is cake!!!
Just tap into any power source... Literally...

But this is what I have:
For Oil:

For Fuel:

Water temp:
Comes with a fitting and you can drill the block like me or use a plug on the driverside of the bottom of the block...

Trans temp I know nothing about and heard it was useless... I would suggest just getting a fuel pressure or A/F if you dont already...

 

[matt07gt]

Maybe ill get a fuel pressure gauge than....decisions decisions. Where does that mount?

Fuel pressure mounts right off your fuel rail...

What gauges do you have? Air fuel is a Necessary..

 

[matt07gt]

I currently have no gauges will be buying oil pressure and voltage for sure...now thinking fuel pressure or air fuel. Which one makes more sense for NA?

 

[Timspony]

Matt just get a boost/vacuum gauge!! .. Fuel pressure gauge a waste of $$$ with your car!

 

[matt07gt]

But I don't have any boost

 

[BlackStang14]

Air fuel is a must I think... It was the first one I bought...

 

[matt07gt]

I was under the impression that air fuel was for boosted cars only?

 

[Timspony]

^^ You never know with a boost gauge! .... >> You would be using the gauge for the "Vacuum" side (for now).... The gauge will work fine!!

You also don't need a A/F ratio gauge!!!

 

[matt07gt]

Doesn't that make me look like a poser
