show us your gauges

[james_c2 0]

Ive got a few gauges coming to fit in the c to keep an eye on what the engine im buiding is doing (oil temp, pressure, boost and poss air-fuel if i go wideband)

 

 

I was thinking of fitting 2 in a a pillar mount (as mine are getting retrimmed but I think it looks a bit to boy racer) and two below the heater sliders

 

So were have you fitted your gauges, ideally i want them so they can be easily viewed

playing around with mine at the moment.

Havn't decided what i'm going to put in the last pod position.

Here's mine. Although i haven't got a pic of the afr/wideband gauge yet which is mounted in a single pillar pod near the dash/windscreen. Also lights up digitally red.

 

Oh, I've got a vdo boost temp gauge to fit yet too. Lol.

Bit OT,

 

Loving the illuminated gearknobs on both your cars, how do you go about doing that then?

I got it from egay a while ago. it was a lil pricey (75euros IIRC) but it was one of those moments of maximal consumism :lol:

I made it myself for a few quid...http://forum.volksdevil.com/index.php?showtopic=78&view=findpost&p=10883346

what's the point of having a vacuum gauge?

[dirtytorque 0]

vacuum is another indication of a healthy system.

shows that your engine has good compression and is generally running smoothly.

Also it will highlight a vacuum leak quickly.

It is something I definiteky like to see.

[Fanjita 1]

With regards to the vacuum gauge, can you fit one to a VR6?

 

Does it require a new sensor or can you tap into an existing one?

[dirtytorque 0]

I see what you mean now as riley has a seperate boost and vac guage.Guage whore. :lol:

My guage just measures both.

You can attach an air pressure gauge be it positive(boost) or negative (vacuum) to any engine mate.

Gauge whore...I like it lol. Still have a vdo boost temp sat waiting to be fitted :lol:

 

It's cool being able to see it go from vac > boost, looks all pretty :lol: Used to have just the one that measure both...
