What sort of gagues and sensors will I need for a turbo charged 383 LT1? Looking to make 600rwhp. Would like a turbo to work in the 300-6500 range. I already have an upgraded fuel system. Will I need a wideband O2 sensor or sensors? What about some kind of boost gague? I have a trans temp gague and a pyrometer gague, if that helps. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

 

Most people mount 2 or 3 gauges on the pillar. Usually boost, fuel pressure, and trans temp if it's an automatic. The EGT is nice to have, but it's more of a nicety than a necessity. Having a WB02 gauge like the one Innovative sells wouldn't be bad either.

 

Yeah, I could probably just ditch the Pyrometer and put boost gague in its place and add a fuel pressure gauge. Is the wideband O2 a sensor or an actual gauge?

 

Innovative sells WBO2 kits as either a gauge package or a hand held scanner. The LM1 is the scanner, and I belive the X16 is the gauge.

 

I was looking at those. Doesn't the LM-1 have a gauge. It better for almost $400!

 

I believe the gauge is the X16. I don't beleive it's included with the box.

 

Laptop and scanning software would also be helpful. To me, the pyrometer isn't that helpful unless you're monitoring the exhaust from each cylinder.

 

well..like on my kit, im monitoring both banks on number 7&8...they go the leanest usually and would be good to keep an eye on.I have boost,fuel pressure, oil temp an extra water temp guage(needed to fill one last hole in the dash) and where my Hvac controls used to be I have 2 pyros and a wideband.
