There has to be another location that you can put some of the non-critical gauges, like on the passenger side?

Water Pressure.

lol... no gps, and it doesn't have a volt gauge on the dash. Rpms, speedo, oil, temp, fuel level, and trim (which is going to mech indicator to open up a hole). All of what I consider essitential the bare essentials is there:D

Talking to a builder, oil temp sounds like its more important. Also, might have to do a couple of pods on the dash for the fuel psi, and boost as it is.

You can use your water temp gauge, as a oil temp gauge. You would need another water temp sender, compatible with whatever range your water temp gauge is. Say its 100-250*. Connect the sending unit wires to a switch on the dash. Then you can flip the toggle to either the oil temp sending unit, or the water temp sending unit. You can do this with a oil temp gauge too. Its just that most oil temp gauges start their reading at 140*, which is no good for water temp reading. If you peg the 250* water temp gauge(when reading oil temps), you are hot, and should back out of the throttles. :coolcowboy: Of course most of the time i would leave it on water temp. But, can work nice when trying to dial in your oil temps.

I really dont beleive oil temp is "more important" than water psi. Too much water PSI can lead to lots of problems, which can destroy a engine. Of course too high or too low oil temps can hurt the engines also. I'd give up my speedo before i gave up either one of those gauges. All of the gauges are real important, especially on a new engine install. If you skip water psi, and go out and run wot and not realize you have 35-40psi of water psi, you might blow a intake gasket or head gasket and fill the crankcase with water. same goes for the oil temps. If you were to go out and run hard, you wont realize your oil cooler is too small and can really do some damage.

Post up a pic of your dash/helm area. im sure we can find some places to stick a couple gauges :drink:

I said Oil because its a blower motor. If it wasn't, I would go with the water.

Their you go giving up my secret's joe :drink:

Thats a great idea with the temp gauge... but it would be nice to be able to monitor both at the same time on a long fast run.
You really think that water psi would be more important than oil temp? Even running a circulating pump (which I figure would control water flow/psi).

Its getting Livorsi gauges when we get closer to finishing all the winter upgrades. Also mech pop up indicators for tabs/trim. Here is the dash right now and an older pic:

You could get an High oil temp sender 245*F-265*F ran into the alarm system with a red LED light and use a water pressure gauge.

I moved my gas and I think volt to the flat part under my steering wheel to accommodate oil temp gauges.

Yeah, thats one other thing- I'm tall and my knees are usually touching the dash, so I don't want anything on the flat part below.

Actually looking at the pictures.. I can see moving the fuel gauge to the bottom right of the steering wheel, giving me enough open holes for water psi and oil temp in the dash. Then do the boost and fuel psi in pods above at the corner of the windscreen??- should be in line of sight with the heads up trim indicators.
