Favorite Gauges

[FattyMcBaggins]

hey everyone. I'm about to do an SR swap and I'm gonna install a few gauges so I can monitor boost and oil pressure. What kind of gauges do you guys like? Also, what are the essential vital signs that I need to monitor? I like the Autometer Ultra-Lite's and the Phantom series. How do these look at night?

I got the 52mm GReddy electronic boost and oil pressure gauges for my swap. In my mind, those are the two most important things to monitor - but also keep in mind I'm doing a more or less stock swap, so I won't be pushing the motor very far.

I like the new-ish blue Blitz's.

I think they only come in 60 though, so I guess it depends on where you're mounting the things.

Greddy or Blitz for me

i like the megan racing guages, they look really nice at night...but they dont make and EGT, so i got a cobalt EGT

ive recently heard several horror stories about autometer gauges

I have always used Autometer with much success. You just have to get the more expensive ones. I run Pro Comp Ultra-Lites in full sweep electric myself. Brushed aluminum is teh sex.



FYI SCCs Project TSX uses the same gauges.

yeah fiznat used cobalt gauges and his boost gauge was reading like ~6 psi off if i remember correct...that gets dangerous quick

i agree that you just need the more expensive ones

Hey Rico, what color are your Ultra-lite's at night? I love the way those look

[rico05]

Same. They have a light bulb that shines light around the rim and through the needle. I will take a pic tonite if I remember to

Megan racings look so sick... I am trying to get a EGT off this guy on SJ DSM forum - its autometer carbon face. I'll hafta get those so they match (boost and then someday a UEGO...

i cant wait to get a boost gauge tho.. stock boost is fun but more is funnerific!

[Fenvy]

defi din gauge to monitor oil pressure, oil temp, water temp

sbc id to monitor boost in graph chart

[fiznat]

My gauges are the expensive ones: electric cobalts.

Anyone interested in them please see the link in my sig... I'm looking to trade just the gauge with someone else who has electric autometers, so we can both keep our wiring as it is.

[nismofly]

so whats wrong with them?
