Venom Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 What are you running? I bought a universal dual pillar pod and Im looking to put in water temp and volt gauges. Ive got two water temp gauges (one autometer and one Faze) and some generic Sunpro ones that I will use for now. Just wanted to get a feel for whatever everyone else is using to see whats out there. Not looking to spend a lot, but prefer something with a white or grey face. Post up what you got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted2bass Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have a boost gauge and air/fule ration gauge in my car....but you would have no use for either of those. Mine are cheapys. The boost is a autometer and i the the a/f is a AEM or something. I dont much care for either of them and the pillar pod they are in looks terrible. Im prolly gonna have a guy i work with glass me a new pillar pod and get some better gauges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then I guess majority of the professional racers are using crappy gauges then, right So what gauges are good by your standards??

mfewtrail Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 For water temperature and voltage, pretty much any cheapo gauge will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 For water temperature and voltage, pretty much any cheapo gauge will work fine. Thats what I was thinking too. Summit racing even has their own brand of gauges that are pretty cheap also. I just cant justify spending $50-$70 just on one gauge because it says Autometer on it. They are nice gauges and Ive run them before in my previous Camaros, but I really dont need them for my CS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 For water temperature and voltage, pretty much any cheapo gauge will work fine. I really like the white face Sunpros that AutoZone now carries. That is what I had last in my 89 GP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yeah I was looking at those when I was there Sun. I was looking at these also: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2DG2871&N=700+400304+4294822101+4294891600+115&autoview=sku Only $30 each aint bad either.

BXX Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Those are cool, but for some odd reason look a little ricey to me. I guess I just like full sweep gauges though because if those were full sweep I would dig them.. I would say get those, and then a whiteface gauge overlay from ebay just so things kinda match.. .From what I understand, you just get one for a GP...

Venom Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yeah the GP and CS clusters are the same for my car. Thats what I plan on doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a stock or aftermarket gauge that was truly "accurate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
