What Kind Of Gauges Do You Have?

[Evan A. Beck]

Well, what do ya got?



I got 2 SPA's mounted on the A-pillar...

 

[QRTRHRS]

Isspro, pre/post turbo, EGT on the A piller. Two temps and a brake pressure in a dash pod. Yeah the lighting on the black face is poor but I like analog.

 

[Cryppie]

Westach, they look great, almost match stock gauges. No problems at all, even hooked two pyro's up to the EGT combo.

VDO Vision's: Boost, Pyro, and Oil Temp (engine and rear diff)

Autometer Ultra-Lite's: Fuel Pressure and Vacuum



I prefer the VDO's but the Autometers seems to be of pretty good quality.

 

[EMDDIESEL]

Autometers, all the way.

 

[Pete Peterson]

Will have ISSPRO's in a couple of weeks... ... ... ... ... Pete

 

[Bigsaint]

SPA FP/temp. and the rest are DiPricol, egt, oil temp. and boost.

[AlK]

Isspro, pre-turbo pyro, & boost.

 

[ramfan2]

I have Autometer Sport Comps Boost and Pyro on the A-Pillar. Would do it again. They're great!

The AUto-Meters are great, Ihad some Ultra-Lites on my '98. 5. I had originally bought the Sport-Comps, but then decided to go with the look of the Ultra-Lites. Love that aluminum face!



However, I decided to go with the SPA's on my'01, and I will never go back to analong gauges... These things are too cool!

I have the Autometer SportComps... bought them from Evan several years ago. I really like them.



I also like the Banks gauges...



I would not buy the SPA gauges. The lights are not dimmable with your dash lights at night. Major factor to me. Its no wonder when people talk about them that they always post the smiley with the sunglasses .

All of the alarms and stuff that the SPAs are capable of are pretty cool. If I was really worried about that, tho, I would have bought the Banks automind stuff and had it defuel me before my EGTs got to high. I have watched analog tachs and gauges in my hotrods for years!

Aren't Banks and Autometer the same thing?

Bill... I don't know, but maybe thats why I like them!

Gauges

I have Autometer Sport Comps on triple A-Pillar with blue bulb covers to match dash lights, and Sport Comp qaurtz clock in dash space. Work and look great. (transmission temp, ETG, boost)

 

[Evan A. Beck]

I am pretty sure ISSPRO makes the gauges for Banks...



Rob, the Banks Ottomind electronic module is nota ll that great... It is notorious for setting MAP sensor codes in the ECM, causing an engine de-tune. The de-fueling characteristic is nice, but it's not really needed. We can get more power, and lower EGT's with a set of injectors and a boost module. The Banks Ottomind makes the truck run real hot, hitting 1250 is no problem at all with an empty truck.



Dimmable SPA's are going to be coming out soon, if my source is correct.

I am using both Isspro and Westach and am happy with both. I like Westachs wider temp range on their temp gauges.

Goto "User CP". Then select "Edit Profile". Scroll down and fill out the signature box. Hit submit. Now to attach your signature, when you post make sure there is a checkmark in the "Show Signature" box. I "believe" once you fill out a signature, then it will start "Check marking" the signature box for you by default. If you don't want it to appear on a particular post then just simple "uncheck" the box.



Hope that explains it.
