good place for gauges

[swankmetal]

i saw this in somebody's gallery on DTR. thought it looked pretty good, so i went for it. happy with the results. i'll see if i can find where i read about it, cuz he had some good instructions.

Hey, thats great swank, but where are you gonna put the other 5 gauges? Can you hang'em along the top of the windshield like dingleballs? Sorry, I couldn't help myself, you know how it is! Too bad my tach won't fit there, already checked,

Our very own big bad SamsRams makes and sells those. Check Sams reader rigs for more info or pm him.

ha. ha. ha.

[swankmetal]

What guages are youall runnin to need those extra two spots. I like gauges and am trying to figgure out whitch ones will be usefull in the crew. If my final number is 10, oh well Robert

I run my 'less-important-yet-still-gotta-have-them' - gauges there - oil pressure and water temp. Pyro, boost, and trans temp are the ones I want to have at eye level, but I also want to have numbers for those other two critical engine systems. Plus, it's really nice to have actual numbers verses hash marks.

well, right now i've got 8. and i would like one more(intake temp, but that's big $). got pyro, 3 boost gauges (twins), oil pressure, tach, drive pressure, fuel pressure. i need a co-pilot.

Howsabout a STALL warning and big flashing red light for those times the boost gets to low. :-laf :-laf

oooo. don't tempt me.

3 boost guages? Hows that work? 2 turbos, 2 guages?

Are the triple gauge pods for the top of the dash usually for the 94-02 and tweaked to fit first gens... or does someone make them specifically for 89-93's?



I do like that location by SamsRams.

Some have trimmed the 94-02 dash mounts to fit ours. But USGear.com sells a 2,3 and 4 and possibly a 5 gauge dash mount for our 1st gens. I have one of their 3 gaugers. You never can have too many gauges, but they sure do get expensive.



Swank, don't most folks with twins only have 2 boost gauges? One big one for overall boost and a smaller one for the bottom turbo?

 

[swankmetal]

yes. two is all that's necessary. i just added another before the innercooler though. interested in seeing what's taking place there. and i figgered since it was only $9, it'd be worth it. once i get everything cyphered, it will be the first to go.

Going to have to call it a cockpit not a cab pretty soon.



Off work now, swank, so we can deal on the old head we have talked about. I'll give you a call soon.
