#41597, "lots of nitrous gauge questions???"




          

my plan is to have A/F,Nitrouspressure,fuel pressure in the a-piller...should I go with electrical or mechanicalfor the nitrous and fuel gauges? Are the electrical more expensive than the mechanical? IS it safe to have the nitrous pressure and fuel in the a-piller if you have mechanical? I have a deal to buy a (used)nitrous phantom gauge with 6'ss lines for $85 is that a good deal? TIA

IMO the electrical is the way to go if you are going to put it in the a-pillar, mechanical could work, but i feel, why risk it? But i feel the same way about any of the gauges INSIDE the car(I HATE RUNNING LINES) and u can get a nitrous pressure gauge, electric, for about 180 bucks, i know its expensive, but for not having to constantly worry about leaks or running lines, its worth it. ELECTRIC IS THE WAY TO GO

Definately electric. Do not put a mechanical gauge in your car unless you want to do the black sheep thing and start giggling while you drive. Also, I have seen the faces explode on the gauges from heat, N2O expands the hotter it gets and if by some unlucky reason, your bottle gets to hot be it sun or a bottle heater left on and so forth, the pressure can be too much for the gauge and blow the face off and guess where it is pointed. Spend the extra cash man, you won't be sorry.
