Which gauges to buy with the S/C

Is the only option (from Auto Meter) the Phantom series gauges? What color do they light up at night?

I need a 0-100psi fuel pressure and a boost gauge that tops out at 20psi MAX. Hopefully more like 15psi.

I want white faced to match the stock dash.

I guess I go with these correct?

I think the Ultra-Lights match pretty well. I have the 0-100psi fuel and 15psi boost/vac. Check out my Avatar.

I second Blue - the silver edges add to the effect and the guage cluster is silver, not white! I just put the red cover on the bulbs and it looks mean!!

Those would look good. I have the carbor fiber boost gauge and I think it looks pretty good. I haven't bought a fuel pressure gauge yet. They're a bit pricey and I'm not sure I really want to up the boost more anyway. After unplugging the IMRC I haven't had any issues w/ pinging.

My Autometer electric fuel guage is still sitting in the box. Don't know how to installed it, Scalbert have some plumbing on his. I just didn't feel save to do what he did.

So they will light up at night, etc.

Mechanical or Electrical?

I know I need electrical for the fuel pressure.

You already know my suggestion, but i think the Ultra-Lights would indeed match up pretty well.




Almost all the gauges are back lit by a bulb which can be made red/green etc. by putting a supplied bulb "condom" over them.

Just a recommendation - don't run fuel into the cabin!!

Autometer Ultra-Lite #4376 for boost and Autometer Ultra-Lite #4363 for fuel pressure - they should be under $350 for both. These are the guages Blue and I use.

Buy them on-line... probably the best price - try Limit Engineering and ask for John.

Have you checked out Defi Guages? I have 2 of them. Boost and EGT, both are 60mm.

The kit comes with the controller until that allow more guages to be plug in in the future if you so choose. I bought them for my S2K, but then changed my mind on installing them.

If you are interested, let me know.

It's red and green - if you want blue, you have to put both of them on!
Primary colors....

^ The problem with the Lunar series is all I see is a 30psi boost gauge, nothing lower like 15 or 20

Steve,

Sorry, I can't help you. We only sell turbochargers.

Sorry for the delay. I have been at Bonneville.

Any other suggestions?

Here is all you need to make the change:

http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...AR%2D100192ERL

http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...AR%2D935106ERL

With those two parts you can use the hose provided by Comptech and have the 1/8 FNPT port for the sensor.
