That's why you're putting a wood chipper engine in a YJ? lol

Because, one , I just want it, and two, that's how aircraft are, and
three, it MAKES SENSE. It's linear, and it makes thinking in terms of
BMEP easy. BMEP is what matters.

Allow me to rephrase that then. That's why you're putting a "general
purpose diesel engine" into a YJ, in a country where gasoline is the normal,
most readily available fuel for that application, where there already exists
a specific purpose gasoline engine, adapted and tuned over decades to
perform well there. lol

So, what's this gauge going to TELL you, as a driver or mechanic, that
some automotive specific gauge can't?
