#14765, "Extra gauge placement suggestions..."


          

Hey, I already have the tripple gauge pillar which has my EGT, Boost and A/F gauges in it. Anyone have suggestions for placement of the following:

S-AFC
HKS Type 1 Turbo Timer
Fuel Pressure Gauge

I like my air vents so I don't really want to put them there. I was thinking maybe the Glove box. Does the S-AFC have enough line so I could pull it out of there to tune with? Any other suggestions?

TIA

The HVAC and Radio placements are out of the question, I need those. emoji

I'm thinking about fabricating a custome enclosure to replace where the sunroof controls are. Or maybe in the glovebox.

Thanks,

or you can do like me and mount your stereo in your glovebox, wire the faceplate to the stereo where your rearview mirror was (behind a piece of glass with mirror tint on it). BUT you have to have a remote control to your stereo because you can't touch the dials. that would give you room for 2 or 3 more gauges. jjust a suggestion. BTW there's only 12 wires from the faceplate of a pinoeer deck to the rest of the deck. it's simple to rewire.

I plan on putting my afc under the cd player, you can get the bezel gaugepod and buy an oil pressure gauge and put the fuel pressure in there too. I have my turbo timer on top of the steering column.

hey bro, i got a dudes email addy who makes custom fiberglass guage holders that u can mount anywhere, like a three bezel deal u can mount next to your rearview.

if i remember correctly, i talked w/him b4, and found his ad on partstrader.com. dudes name is paul nichols.

Turbos911166@cs.com

this is what he had to say when i asked him ?s
<<i mount them 2 ways
1. after removing the rear view mirror i center the gauge pod and it
sits up
on the glass by a connector and i have to inserts that go under the
headliner. it holds up nice this way and no wires show.
2. if the rear view mirror can't be removed then i put it in the same
fashion
but to the left of the mirror.>>

>>yes 50.00 for the mounting hardware and the pod ready to be painted. the
pod
faces straight towards the back and can be seen from the car behind you. <<
prices might of changed

they have the lil guage pods that hold the guage ..
look at cyan or lotalons int.. ithink they have them

they u can mount them on top the dash.. its hard to explain how it looks.. kinda like a spoon.. u would stick the part u hold down into the dash.. and then the part u eat out off would be the pod. and u can have a few of them..

the glove box would be good.

yes the lil guage bezel thing is nice..

on EBAY they have the 3 guage holder that takes out the center vents and hazards..

i too wouldnt want to lose my HEAT or AC dont use the AC much .. im a window type of guy.. but in the winter Heat is nice.. hah

but for 50 bucks its not a bad deal guys.. check out ebay.

they even make custom holders for the door vents so u dont have to make themurself

well steve if you dont use ur side view mirrors a guy took a champeinge glass has his mold and the lil nubs that stick out to move the mirrors he placed a guage in there.. with some work and a good mold u can make it.. i think the write up is on the main 2gnt site actually..if not i can find it..

let me know

I love dino and 2gnt. ####ers (my word) bliz stole it but i let him borrow it

Hehe

I noticed that too. The gauge was not hooked up in this picture as I was messing with fitment at the time. I have since replaced the AFC with three gauges in the same way you have yours. Actually, I have two and a hole for the third that Armond keeps bugging me I need to fill in with something. :p

Actually they do make drill bits that big, it's a standard drill bit ion the center and then a saw type blade around the outside. Check a local hardware store they will have em.
