What Gauges?

[02saleen]

I am looking at getting a boost/vacc, intercooler temp not sure what it is called lol and air/fuel (wideband). This will all be on a A pillar. Now what you recommend and why? mechanical vs electrical, or should I get a diff combo of gauges

I am looking at the C2 and both Phantom series from Autometer. I want to be close to the Saleen gauges. Also will any mounting workif the diameter is the same?

Thanks in advance guys

and sorry for the noob ?s :beer:

Get electrical. And I will be getting the C2's as well to match my 99 Cobra cluster with blue back light....

I Love that Aeroforce Gauge but $250 is STEEP!! I just went with Auto Meter 2 1/16 Pro-Comp ultra-Lite Electric Oil and water and the 20psi Boost/vacuum! All for under $100 brand new in Box in Ebay!

This is what I am looking at all on the A pillar. Is there a HUGE advantage to the electrical boost and water temp gauge? I dont want to spend much more especially since the wideband is a ton already lol

I prefer to not run fluids into the cab. For this reason I would go electrical with the water temp but a mechanical boost gauge is safe.

i would go mechanical on the vac/ boost gauge...asked the guy who installed my KB the same question and he said thats the way to go so i got the autometer mech. vac/boost guage & its dead on... i've heard bad things on autometers the air/fuel gauge so i didnt go with them on that. went with the innovate motorsports air/fuel, it works great..just my 2 cents. goodluck

I think I heard the same about the autometer air fuel gauge but I dont want to have a ton of diff gauges

thanks for the input

innovate gauges arent too expensive and look different. im happy with mine.

 

[Chuckie B]

yah i got the autometer cobalt boost gauge and the blue innovate air/fuel and they match great

i've heard bad things on autometers the air/fuel gauge so i didnt go with them on that.

autometer makes wideband a/f gauges now instead of only making the crappy narrowband so he'd be fine with going all autometer as long as its not the old kind that just tells you "lean" "rich"

I run an Autometer wideband with no problems at all. I've been very happy with it and it matches all my other gauges(Sport Comp series).
