Gauge talk

[mx-p5]

Alright, looking into pickup some gauges up to keep better track of my babies internals after overheating and the stock temp gauge reading normal.

Whatcha'll use? Any brand over the other? And pricing?

I'm looking for an engine temp, oil pressure, and volt meter(up for debate if you recomend a different than volt, please suggest)

Also, I'll be doing this for an N/A car so A/F is pointless other than to look pretty

Overheating while the gauge read normal? This is a bit frightening...was steam rising from your hood your first clue? I like the AutoMeter UltraLite series...PG sells them. You really don't need volts, and there's a group buy going on right now (ForceFed) for a steering column dual gauge pod. Are you planning on getting the oil sandwich for oil pressure?

I've always had good experiences w/ Autometer Ultralite gauges (dunno)

yeah, once the stock gauge "starts" reading above normal, you're already heading into over heat territory

Yeah, i had already shut down cause i saw the steam and stock gauge read normal.

Autometer setup is gonna run me about $50 more than a Prosport setup.

I'd do Ebay, but, what kind of return policy you get if it goes bad? That and I would prefer to support a vendor. lol

[mx-p5]

So, noone else on here has gauges? Or, should I take this into the MSP or eletronics threads?

 

[TreFlip999]
