19417, what brand of gauges do most of you use? Posted by 97eclipseRS, Apr-09-02 01:27 PM i'm getting all the gauges that i need ordered, and i know most of you use the autometer gauges, but which series do you use(ultralight, sport compact, phantom)? i'm looking for ones that'll most closely match the stock instrument amber color when lit. where did you buy them from, and where do you get the correct probes(westach for EGT)? I'm going to be stage 2, so i'm planning on getting a boost(does the HRC one match the autometer?), EGT, A/F(what's a good one? is it corbin who makes them, forgot?), fuel pressure(need one that reads over 100psi), and i'm thinkin' oil pressure, since i have another spot. what psi is normal oil pressure, so i know what range to get. if you have pics of your gauge setups it'd be cool if u could post 'em. sorry for all the questions. tia | |

19418, RE: what brand of gauges do most of you use? Posted by ourformerselves, Apr-09-02 02:09 PM I've been looking for guages as well.. and I'm waiting on the Autometer COBALT series guages to come out. They were planned for release this month, but I've heard they were moved back to the fall. Anyone have any precise info on when these guages will be out? | |

19419, RE: what brand of gauges do most of you use? Posted by Super20G, Apr-09-02 03:45 PM The Autometer Ultra-Lite series, with the red lightbulb cover looks really close to the factory gauges at night time, thats how mine is setup, cause I wanted them all to match pretty closely, i dont have a picture cause my cars apart and i cant hook the battery up right now, hehe :-) | |

19420, RE: what brand of gauges do most of you use? Posted by toykilla, Apr-09-02 05:19 PM autometer ultra-lite series also. I use the green thing to match the a/f at full trottle. =] It matches closely and I plan on getting indiglo's eventually so its the closest color that comes with the gauges that will match them. | |

19422, RE: what brand of gauges do most of you use? Posted by HadesOmega, Apr-09-02 07:30 PM I'm going for Phantom gauges. Well I got a korny SPI boost gauge that was white faces and black bezeled so I thought I would play along they go along well. I got a autometer modified AF phantom gauge and SPI Boost gauge. Autometer Phantom pyrometer gauge coming in the mail tommorow, making a custom gauge mount for it too :) I love that white face gauge look, the first time I saw it on that show room GST when I was buying my car I fell in love with it. I got a HKS TT Type 2 which has a super bright blue LED which totally jacks up my whole setup... :( | |

19423, RE: what brand of gauges do most of you use? Posted by 97eclipseRS, Apr-10-02 12:36 AM i think i'm gonna go with the ultra lite series.:) who sells them the cheapest? what does the pyrometer gauge go up to? I was also wondering where i can get a fuel pressure gauge that reads over 100. is the autometer A/F ok, or should i go w/ corbin's? | |

19424, RE: what brand of gauges do most of you use? Posted by 97eclipseRS, Apr-10-02 04:09 AM well pretty much have it sorted out. just need to know where i can get a westach probe, and is it really that much better than the one that comes w/ the autometer pyrometer? also what kind of boost gauge comes w/ the HRC kit? will i match the ultra lites, or should i just order a new one? | |

19425, RE: what brand of gauges do most of you use? Posted by cyan, Apr-10-02 04:27 AM the hahn kit comes with a 52mm autometer phantom boost/vacuum gauge. i deleted mine from my kit and bought the 64mm ultra-lite to match the rest of my gauges. they are all autometer ultra lite except the last two: | |
