what guages...?

I'm in the market for boost and ATF guages (I will need an A-pilliar pod as well). I'd like them to be white faced, and glow blue at night (to match my 'normal' guages). If anyone has any suggestions about places, prices, quality etc. I would appreciate it. thanks alot

Autometer obviously. The boost gauge is around $40-60.

If you want to spend more check out Apexi/Defi/etc.

www.rx7-store.com(what ever the sponsor is for this forum) should have some for sale.

VDO are pretty good, like them better than Autometer because they seem more acurate.

If you got the money, I would buy Defi guages, they are amazing.

Hey erik, check out www.eguages.com, www.summitracing.com, and www.nopi.com

I have bought my gauges from all these different sites. They seem to have the best prices and I haven't had any problems with them.

Also, make sure you get 2 1/16 inch gauges, not 2 and 5/8th. The boost gauge should be a "mechanical" gauge. THe Air Fuel gauges are pretty standard.

Also note that to get the guages that match your interior it could get really expensive.

If you have any questions shoot me a PM as I will be the one istalling them.

Steve

Old school HKS gauges. Matches stock gauge lighting exactly but they are discontinued. Look on ebay for them they come up ocassionally but be prepared to pay over $100.

Automatic tranny fluid gauge?


Anyways, I like GReddy and thats what I have. Very accurate, and decent prices for the most part.

thanks for the help, I'll probably go with the autometer guages since they seem to have the best rep for the cheapest price.

I just ordered both boost (30in. and 30hg.)and 'air to fuel ratio', autometer 2 1/16" 'ultralite' gauges. I also bought blue bulb covers and an rx7 A-pilliar, dual gauge pod. I got all of this for $142.00 total from summitracing.com. Thanks for the suggestions!

go with VDO, they match the interior pretty nicely, and are cheaper ($26)and more accurate than the $50 autometer ones.

Defi does...
here

but the thing is... if you look closely they dont go by 1psi increments instead its 1.25. they look badass, match the interior perfectly but the only flaw i saw was the 1.25 increments, I mean maybe its just me but I like 1psi increments.

edit: temp hijack: do any autometer gauges match the interior ?

He has a kind of custom interior. Black and light blue. So he wasent looking for gauges that match the orange stock gauge colors.

or at least i hope...

My thinking was that it couldn't be an auto tranny fluid gauge because he had a turbo, but he could have always put a jdm AT on there...
