I am about to order a boost gauge as well as a air/fuel gauge what is the best deal on these? There are alot to choose from. And where should I buy from?

 

shop around there are lots of good prices on the net.. check the Rx7 Store above or just go to your local preformance shop and should have something for you.

 

dont buy autometer, they suck. the boost gauge i have from them is total crap, the needle doesnt hold a steady reading, just vibrates between 12-17psi. for a turbo rotary that is totaly unaceptable. buy a good gauge, they are worth the extra cash. the greddy gauges are really nice, as are the HKS gauges. if you dont want to read in metric increments, then get some defi gauges. their boost gauge reads in PSI not bar. as far as an air/fuel gauge, i know greddy makes a good one that works well, dunno about any other ones. just remember, when it comes to gauges you get what you pay for. oh, and the RX7 store has the best prices ive sen for pretty much all things rotary

 

I've got the Apexi EL series II electric boost gauge and it's awesome. I picked it up at www.rxecret7.com

I bought autometer when I first got the car, but now that I've got a bit more $$, I upgraded to a better gauge. I'd recommend saving and getting a Japanese gauge over the Autometer.

 

I went with the DEFI boost gauge and it is great.

 

I have auto meter everything. They just flat kick ***. I've ben useing autometer for some time and never had any probs. with them. I also have a 2 5/8 boost and pined that bitch on 20psi (max) and still never hade a prob.

 

I have an Autometer Ultralite. It doesn't seem to have the problems everyone complains about and also seems to be accurate dispite the full scale deflection being much higher than my peak boost.

 

Yeah, I have Autometer Ultralite as well.....and I really can't complain too much...I've seen others, and they seem nicer....but for the price you can pick these up at.....(you get what you pay for I guess....).

Besides, Autometer is better than nothing at all.....

 

90% of mechanical gauge accuracy is in the install.
If you install it fucked up, you'll have fucked up readings...

Autometer is just fine, if you don't mind the mechanical gauge.

 

but all japanese models are in BAR
AMERICA = PSI!!!!! i hate calculating..

Defi makes awesome gauges and should come in PSI.

 

1.01 bar ~ 1 atm ~ 14.7 psi

not too hard to convert now is it?

 

I have a 60mm Greddy, and its sweet. my friend has a 60mm apexi, and its good, but it looks more like a 52mm gauge, even though he checked with apexi and the dealer. both of them are in bar. if you want pinpoint accuracy, get one that was manufactured or designed for the same elevation as you. his apexi reads about 0.1 bar of vacuum when the engine is off, because of the elevation, whereas mine sits on the 0.

 

i`m happy with my DEFI gauges ;o)
