Aftermarket gauge set ups

bartles · 02-25-2014, 09:33 PM

Just curious who out there is running aftermarket gauges. Would love to see pics of peoples set ups and hear opinions on what extra gauges people find most useful and necessary to have on a tuned car.

P3 gauge, or ze_german's gauge

dootlah · 02-26-2014, 12:50 PM

AFR, boost, oil temp/pressure, intake air temp pre-post IC, EGT, coolant temp, coolant pressure, volt meter, amp meter, fuel pressure, auto timer, and a built in compression test gauge. I stuffed all of those into the center panel, deleting the radio, ac vents, etc.

I'm going with the ECS vent gauge here pretty soon. Analog ftw.

e92_enthusiast_1 · 02-26-2014, 02:01 PM

Vent gauges look good. Nice.

e90Mark · 02-26-2014, 02:12 PM

Love the ECS gauge, especially for the price.
The p3 gauge is awesome, but it's a little expensive.

I wanna go with the ECS gauge, but don't wanna drill those holes for the cables.

I have a modified P3 gauge sitting in my ashtray, it was originally a vent gauge for my 135. I only use it for Boost. I have other methods to read other parameters within the engine and car.

I also like the old school approach with Macht Schnell gauges. IND can install for you and they are in Lake Zurich.

The LCI's dont have ashtrays, will that 3 pod work still? That would be my ideal choice, prolly gonna do boost, A/F, oil temp or fuel pressure

cotmfk · 02-27-2014, 11:58 AM

I have one of the original P3 vent guages (only does boost with peak hold). It's still functioning well and completely accurate.

The Cleaner · 02-27-2014, 03:05 PM

Hard to beat a P3 IMO.

I Want This One

Awron gauge displays a huge selection of real time data, including boost pressure, oil temp, water temp, 0-60 times, horsepower and more.

Wow! Just looked it up. This gauge is cool but it costs $1149! Boost is an option and costs $200 more. So, w/boost it'll cost 3x's the price of the Turner P3.

Wow does it perform fellatio in the car for you too? At that price it better drive for me!

rowingone · 07-01-2014, 05:05 PM

I like the three analog gauges in the ashtray . . how do you hook up the sending units?

mythek · 07-02-2014, 01:44 AM
