With all the new mods being installed in the spirng, i decided it was time to start some shopping for some nice gauges for the car. I searched to fourm to see what others have been using but didnt find too much info.
So really, i want 3 gauges, A wideband A/F guauge, a boost gauge, and intake temp guage. And as many of them analog as possible.
First ill start with the A/F Gauge. I began looking around, and found a nice AEM gauge that i thought would go with the rest of the gauges that i plan on going for. (black with brushed/chrome bezel) and the A/F gauge in my mind is the most important gauge of them all so thats why i wanted to go with a wideband one.
I also saw the Zeitronix, and the PLX gauges, what is kind shying me away from them is the need for extra add on moduels and such, im a little iffy on those gauges. PLX however has these new OLED (DM-100) gauges that are basicaly like a small LCD screen that you can config and such, they look pretty cool. But once agian, what would i need to get these to do what i want (at 210$ a pop) 3 gauges add up pretty quick. So i think the AEM is the route i want to go. (also mainly because the other gauges ill have to order from the US, and shipping has always been a pain a single 200$ gauge ends up costing me 350$+) Maby i can get them shipped to me when im in the US in a few months. Let me know what you guys think on which route to go. AEM or PLX-DM-100 series. If i do the PLX, ill go PLX DM-100 on all 3 gauges ($1000 ouch).
So next is the Boost gauge.
I found this sick looking boost gauge from autometer, its part of their Carbon fiber lineup, and they have a Boost and intake temp gauge that match.
Thing is the intake gauge is around 300$, so that causes me to veer toward the PLX system. there is however another intake temp gauge i found
Its very cost effective at around 60$ but doesnt mention if it comes with sensors, and personaly looks a bit too basic. and its not analog.
hey guys help me make a decision. The gauges will be inset into a 3 gauge pillar that im going to make and will be wraped in a black suede to match the seats, and "future" headliner. Thats where i think the black gauge and silver trim ring will look good.
Please post up some pics so i can see what others have done
