Post pics, reviews, and info on your gauge setup

[GT4]

I posted these earlier in another thread...but here you go.

Lotek pod with EGT, Boost, and Oil pres. All Defi BF gauges. These update the interior of the car so much making it look
much more modern. And what I like most is that when the car is off, they look completely black.


My center console with Fuel press. and Water temp.
Below it is a Pioneer unit, Defi control unit, and GReddy Profec B II:

As for the Greddy gauges, I love them. Quality is notably higher in them than other gauges I have tried including Autometer and Blitz. All of them are electronic, which is awesome. The boost gauge comes with its own MAP sensor, so you can use that if you are looking to do a MAP conversion, or turbo swap. Normal boost gauges operate on a cheap copper flimsy spring...really its a wonder they remain accurate at all. Got these gauges from a mix of places, probably the best deal was found on ebay. Also checking the supraforums is a good idea too.

EGT is *very* useful. If you are getting timing retard, you wouldn't believe how high the EGT's can go. Another great tuning tool.

Oil pressure is also good for checking the health of your oil pump, which really, is the heart of the engine. Also a good indicator of your car being properly warmed up.

The J&S is an amazing safety device. Just set it up in a scenario where you know you aren't knocking, adjust it right to the edge, then drive. After that if you get a lot of response it is a good indication to take your foot off the gas. Could save your ass in a big way down the line. I love it. Expensive, but worth it imho. Purchased it used off the mr2 board.

Zeitronix WB is a cool tool as well. Installation is actually easier than any of the other gauges. Quite literally if you just want it to work, all you need is power and ground. Very clean kit that I hide in my glove box.

i have always liked your gauges chris, very clean. but the write-up on your website is gone. what happened? im mainly interested in how you moved the fuel gauge over.

I really like the greddy black gauges. Does any one know if they make a matching a/f gauge?

[celica9303]

What gauges do you think are best for a n/a car? I want a beams soon, hope fully in the next year. And want t be able to monitor it throughly

[celica9303]

Any more pics? How do you like the uego?

Here is a pic of my homemade gadge pod for my 92' gt with 3sgte swap. Made with fiberglass repair kit.
Using beer cans as forms for fiberglass. Autometer mechanical boost gadge and AEM wideband AFR gadge.

Thats pretty cool... How about some high res pictures and a write up

[Shadowlife25]

Rizin, send me a PM to remind me to figure out a sticky for this later. Well done and thank you.

[93cc]

so easy enough that even I could do it .... maybe...

[Shadowlife25]

Rizin, I will be splitting the write-up portion you did to another thread and it will be stickied.

Thank You.

ST205 setup. Prosport 45mm oil pressure, water temp, and boost gauges. Custom installed in a single DIN panel.

[Shadowlife25]

Nicely done Chris.

[3citytuner]

Chris i remember you saying that you might switch your backlighting for you cluster. how do you do that?

[rizin]

I would say that Crisco has a writup on changing his dash lights.

[ChrisD]

Well, theres a variety of methods for sure. I generally don't like linking offsite, however 6gc.net has a lot of good how-to's on the subject of changing interior lighting. For the cluster itself, http://www.skewer.co.uk/ makes custom ones for the ST205 for about 100 UK Pounds.

Yay! I finally got rid of my guage pod and now have this





I'm using the autometer phantom wideband and boost guage. I'll probally be replacing the wideband for the electric oil pressure guage I have since I'm currently on gen3 electronics so far I love my new guage location because I don't get attention from kids in Honda civics on my way to work trying to race me. I bought another vent trim area so I don't destroy my original. So what do you guys think?

[90ToyAllTrac]

Diamond plate, painted black. Was a neat idea, turned out pretty good.



Couldnt help posting this too, its more mean that pretty. I got these gauges at a swap meet for $150, real racing gauges with oil in them!! Ford racing emblems too. And the enclosure I got a friend that can fab like nobodies biz.

[lalojamesliz]

Hey 90ToyAllTrac how do you like that edelbrock top end? We basically have the same car
