Default Hatch gauges location

Ok so what’s the norm on the hatch for gauges location wise

I’m thinking 3 will be a stuggle to fit as in know where to put them so maybe
Il get a friend to think about a prosport 4in1 gauge 60mm so will have boost oil temp oil pressure / volt
in one gauge… he has a wrx-s unsure on what options he has as to hold it.

any ideas : pics would be great

I am planning to fit this when funds allow with the additional oil temperature, oil pressure and OBDII CAN bus HW adaptor and have them displayed on my double DIN headunit using the AV/RCA video input (the kit can display multiple screens and you can ask to have the desired gauges per screen as shown here: https://zada-tech.com/products/multi...rket-head-unit)

With the full sensor set that includes reading from the OBD and all sensors it's this kit: https://zada-tech.com/products/multi...-din-with-hdmi

That's neat.
Does this read the AFR from the front O2 sensor (wideband) or the one after the catalyst?
I currently have a ScangaugeII fitted to read data from the OBD.

Android head unit with RealDash is the most complete solution IMHO.

I have a Zero sports meter hood for defi boost gauge, but I've just bought oil temp and pressure, so I'm considering getting a twin meter hood and selling on the boost gauge and hood. It's the neatest, most oem gauge housing imo.
What's the point in a boost gauge anyway?
An alternative is Arai ( I think) who make a 3 60mm gauge pod which replaces the gear stick surround and cubby hole, but not easy to see.

or there is another option, perrin.



That said I am probably going to bin it off and go for the double zero sports. Unfortunately other than headunit mods nothing else works that well for the hatch, particularly if you had an ATI pod and defis in a Newage which just looks spot on.

Is the lambda read from the OBD or do you have an additional sensor?

as I recall its the front o2 sensor reading as I'm nearly sure I seen it reading 11's on boost and the rear o2 wouldn't be able to give that reading.

Also if it takes any 2 analog 0-5 volt inputs you can add an oil pressure/temp sensor if you wanted just you'd have to configure them in the settings to show the correct values.

mine is hooked into the canbus from the syvecs, but you can use obd2 inputs for it.
