Typical gauges for NA b13
I've got a b13 ser NA. I'm looking for 2 52mm gauges to put in my radio space. What are usually the most common gauge options to use.

Water pressure? oil pressure? ect?

Why have 2 when you can have 3? I followed this write up:

Gauge installation writeup - Gauges - SR20 Forum

I have water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure. I got exactly what is listed in that write-up and I think it looks awesome and the gauges work great. I replaced the bulbs that came with it with cool white LEDs (194s). While I used the mounting plate described in the linked write-up, I just ordered this one:
52mm UNIVERSAL TRIPLE 3 GAUGE DIN RADIO GAUGE DASH POD | eBay

While I don't think it is as nice looking as the one I have now, I believe that one is angled which I think will really help. My water temp gauge is furthest from me and the angle is bad enough that I can't really tell from my driving position if it is at 210 or 230. I have yet to get that plate, it should come early next week and I'll report back on how it looks. Here's a pic of my current set-up:

nice I like the look of those i want some like that, that match the instrument cluster so nicely. You know that look like they could have come with the car factory.

I would say oil pressure, oil temp, and coolant temp. You can throw a voltage or wideband gauge in there if you have room.

This is how I set mine up, 3 gauges in the radio spot and a voltage gauge replacing the factory temp gauge in the main cluster.

I would love to know how hard it was to put the voltage gauge in there. How much stuff did you have to re-wire on the cluster? And did you run all 4 gauges off the same power source?

depends on the mods really, oil temp and oil pressure are really good to have, along with water temp, any gauges that are going to give you a more precise reading on water,oil, and temps
