what the title says. i want to see how everyone did theirs.

 

here's a crappy pic of mine, can't really see the pod on the pillar.

 

man scott, that looks so cool. keep em comin guys.

 

Another shitty picture, but I just finished it an hour ago. Yes, that's 3 months worth of dust on the hood. Don't drive it from Oct. to Apr. cuz of the damned Ohio winters.

Both guages are black faced, orange light to match the instruments!

i cant get over how cool that looks keep em coming...

 

hey 89turbo2dutch, exactly what guages did u buy? cause i was looking for something that would be close to stock. if it is autometer, what series did u buy. and for the orange light, is it an actual bulb or the bulb cover that autometer sells? thanks in advance

oh and here is a pic of mine

 

Blitz carbonfiber face boost gauge with single gauge pod

 

hey scott...

looks like your stuff fits really well!!! what brand pillar mount did you use? where did you get it? ect ect. i need one for a mechanical oil p guage.

peace

 

rx7-rage,

I got the Autometer sport comp Boost and A/F guages. The bezels come in brushed silver stock, so I painted them satin black. The boost guage is backlit and came with a red bulb cover which looks orange when installed. The a/f guage is not back-lit so the only light it has are the lights from the meter itself.

I'll post some night pics for you as soon as I get the A/F guage hooked up.

it's an autometer dual pod. and the exhaust temp gauge is mounted in a custom mount I made that sits above that little triangle vent.

 

Hey, i have a 1991 Convert. and i really want some pods for guages..... please somone help me on figuring out what will fit on my car like what year and make will fit so that i can finally make it all look clean and tity... thanks...

 

what's that EGT calibrated in? 100's degrees C?

 

ya, all greddys are.

800C = 1475F

 

whats the difrence between mechanical and electric gauges?

 

looks great...does the boost line actually run under the molding up to that point? where does the line go when it leaves the gauge?

just curious, i'll be installeing one in 2 weeks...

 

Mechanical gauges have the oil go right to the back of the gauge. That way when the line breaks your car fills up with hot oil. Mechanical temp work some what the same way. Electric gauges use a remont sender at the engine that sends a signal to the gauge telling it what to do. I think that Electric are the best.

how do u see those gauges that are below your center consloe heater controls?
i would want all my gauges in site off the road....

 

ok, these are all tight pods and i was lookin for some myself. but there is one problem. all my dash and seats are in the red color. any ideas on where i could get the dual pods in maroon/red?

 

Paint 'em to match.

 

I don't look at thoes that much. The stock gauges still work as well. Also the g/f keeps an eye on thoes for me!

I just ran the wires and supplied nylon vaccum tube out the bottom of the pod. I mounted it as low on the a-pillar as I could. There is less than a centimeter between the pod and the dash top, so i wrapped about an inch in black electrical tape. Looks great!

I ran the boost guage wires to the cig. lighter illumination ring so it will dim with the dash lights. The vacuum tube was run through the grommet by the brake booster and around to be t-ed in at the boost sensor tube near the passenger front wheel well. The A/F power and ground were run straight down to the fuse block/body ground. The O2 sensor wire was run through the same grommet as the vaccum line and then spliced into the O2 wire near the connector below the BAC valve.

If your looking for a shorter way to route the dimmer power wire from the gauge. You can route it straight to the dimmer wire where it comes out of the dimmer. I can get the wire for you if want. I don't have my wiring diagram.

I mounted my oil pressure gauge in a unique place. It is hanging below the vent that is on the door. It is in a pod and looks rather nice. I only had to run two wires thru the door. The wire for the oil pressure and the dimmer power wire. I was able to get the 12v gauge power, ground for the light and gauge in the door by splicing into the wiring for the power window.
