36947, Mechanical Or Electrical? HMMM TISK TISK Posted by Tytanfoxx, Dec-18-02 07:09 AM
Simple question at hand-I've read a little on the subject, but field tested experience is what Im after. Electrical OR Mechanical Gauges? Which works best,more acurate, ease of installation. Im getting ready to order all my gauges and I have a choice in the matter on some including Boost, Oil Pressure and EGT. I've seen some air/fuel guages- do I need this or not. WUDUYA THANK
BOOST!-Tis far better to have it and not need it-than to need and not have it.

usually, things that work the best aren't the easiest to install. but usually digital would be better. i remember someone said that th mechanical oil temp gauge would be bad. like if it started spewing all over you.

Mechincal over time has shown to be more accurate and quicker although usually electrical will be too close too even notice the difference. I have ALL electric except for boost. Every electric pressure or temp gauge will have a sender. Every mechanic pressure gauge you will actually run the pressure right up to the gauge. Usually you would NOT want to run your fuel or oil into the car, which is why people buy electrical or else mount outside their front window. Electric is $$ but a lot easier to read and a lot easier to deal with IMO. I don't know of a sender that reads vaccuum so that is why I use the mechanical. Of course running air into your car isn't nearly as dangerous as fuel ;)

Thanxx guys for the info, inspite of going to the site it didnt give me as much info as I just got from u guys. I was just concerned because you only have limited space on the A pillar and I know the mechanical gauges have more than just wires to install. I go with everything electrical except the boost then.
