Ok, So I went ahead and purchased the A-pillar for the Armada.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what gauges I should Look into?
I was thinking about Autometer, They seem to have some nice Gauges.

-Air/Fuel Ratio since I have the Injen intake
-Pyometer.. Possibly since I got the Borla Duel Tip Exhaust
-Undecided as to what the 3rd gauge should be

Help hehe

are you getting a wideband or narrow a/f

the narrow is jsut a waste as it really doesnt give you anything of real substance

you really dont need the pyro esp because of the price
its not a diesel

maybe go with water temp and oil pressure they are better than the stock dummy gauges

Water Temp, Oil Pressure, & Turbo Boost. When the Wifey gives you a hard time about getting Turbo Gauge that does not work, tell her, "Yea that's why I need a Turbo." :D

I really dont want to use the factory narrow band sensor, would it be alot of work to integrate a wide band?

Even better yet!!! Slap a Turbo Guage on there that moves and add a sign on your Passenger Dash that says:

THIS NISSAN ARMADA IS EQUIPPED WITH A 5.6L V8 TURBO. DUE TO POSSIBLE BREATHING UNDER RAPID ACCELERATION ALL FEMALES ARE ADVISED TO REMOVE ANY TIGHT FITTING OR CONSTRICTIVE CLOTHING FOR SAFETY!


:D

To install a wideband sensor you would need a bung welded into the exhaust manifold just ahead of the primary cat. Then install the wideband sensor in that bung and connect it properly.
Note - the sensor must be properly connected at any time the engine is running, otherwise it will be ruined.

the aem wideband is a very nice unit

a/f is also pricey and really not needed on a non boosted or sprayed vehicle that has nothing more than a cai for performance mods

I am still waiting for it in the mail. Its the one the guyz from the Titan club had made. Its on order at the moment but it replaces the whole pillar its not just an add-on. But Once I get it I will post pics.

A/F is not gonna do anything .. unless your boosted. its just gonna go to rich when you are at WOT and the rest of the time it will show lean..

if anything get Oil Pressure... the electrical one
Tran Temp
