Install Your Own Custom In-Dash Air Fuel Ratio Meter


In Dash Air Fuel Ratio Meter Kit

 

An accurate air Fuel Ratio Meter is an absolute must if you are doing any kind of fuel related performance upgrades to your car. Such as Supercharging, Increasing Turbo Boost Settings, Adding Boost Controllers etc. This unit takes the output from your existing Car's Oxygen Sensor and displays the results on 10 LEDs. It lets you know whether your car is running at it's optimum from an Air Fuel Ratio perspective. You can mount the LEDs anywhere you like. They can be fitted right into the car's dash board. The complete circuit board is so small it can easily be concealed. This Meter used in combination with our Fuel Injector Duty Cycle Meter (Also available and described in another area of this site) gives you all the information you need to ensure a perfectly tuned Air Fuel System. In addition they look great on your car's dash.

If you are not handy with a soldering iron, you can order the complete unit in a small slim enclosure that can be attached to your dash with double sided tape.

Custom Modified Gauges are also available on request for Turbo Applications. You can select any voltage you like, with as many indicators as you like.  The Possibilities are endless. Please email for details Here are comes examples:

  • 0v - 0.9v - 0.09v Per Indicator (This is the Standard Unit)

  • 0.63v - 0.99v - 0.04v Per Indicator 10 Indicators (Modified Air Fuel Meter)
