rectangle dynotune gauges in cubby

[parish8]

i am not a big fan of cluttering up the interior but i am going to push this thing eventually and will want some gauges to look at. the fuel pressure gauge will give me the 0-5v signal i need to tie into hptuners so part of this is being able to log my fuel pressure along with logging the wideband and intake pressure. i am going to pick up a piece of smoked plexi and trim that to fit and see what that looks like. might end up pretty cool.

the gauges are boost, fuel pressure, a/f ratio.

got a chance to drive it in the day and night.

looks great at night. all you see is the numbers and they are not too bright. during the day it looks good too. you can see the wires but not like in that pic. i really dont notice them.

i didn't realize how much time i spend in boost. i see 2-3psi often.

They look good.

I like the Idea but think it needs a face plate to finish it. Maybe something similar to what New Era has for the Atari gauges

looks good, will look better when you install the plexi bezel

i ordered a piece of smoked plexi. i will give it a shot. might dim them too much for the daytime.

sweet!

Hey there,
looks like a great start and covers the bases. Where did ya get the gauges? What brand/model? I looked a little bit prior to seeing yours and couldn't find that type of gauge.

one little thing. the boost gauge doesn't goto 0 with no boost. it floats around betwen -.01 and .01. the other gauges are always reading something. doesn't bother me but someone might care.

Cool, should look very good with a bezel.

i did make a cover for them. it looks good at night, they dont seem to bright normaly but with the tinted plexi they seem to match the other night lighting in the car better.

during the day with the tinted plexi they are too dim.

i didn't do a great job of cutting it to fit. probably wont take any pics, not that happy with it.

99% of the time all you see in that cubby is the led's. it is dark back there so you dont really see the wires.

I was on their site today and couldn't find one for oil psi. :(

the fuel one would work fine. it does 0-150psi.

Thanks I'll look onto it.

I assume you plumbed the sensor into the intake pipe pre-TB and not into the intake manifold itself? Mine reads close to around -9-10 psi at idle which is about right for pulling around 20 inches of vacuum in the manifold. I like to see how much vacuum I am pulling so that I can better tell when I am about to go into boost during mild acceleration.

[parish8]

yes, sensor is before the tb.
