After market gauges? Anyone use anything besides Autometer?

[nmcgrawj]

I was lookin through the Summit Catalog and wsa wondering about the Summit gauges, VDO, Nordskog, Cyberdyne, and CSR. They show fuel pressure gauges for cheaper than autometer but im not sure on the quality.


Anyway, let me know!

DEFI are the **** but prepare to drop bills. Don't know much about the others besides Autometer.

My Porsche came with VDO, as do many Euro cars (esp German and Swedish stuff) and they were awesome.

My personal feeling is that most of the aftermarket gauges [that cost more than 10 bucks] are pretty decent quality and just about everything has to be calibrated better (or cal'd with more graduations) than the stock stuff.

For a FP gauge, I personally wouldnt hesitate to go with another flavor of gauge, but that's just me.

OT. What kind of Porche do you have/had? My grandfather had an '84 928. Man that thing was badass.

VDO gauges are fantastic, they have been in use in Marine and Automotive applications since the early 70's.

I second the VDO's. I had a VDO boost gauge in my Ranger. The looks aren't the greatest ... but they're nice quality.

iEquus makes some decent gauges and you can get them in walmart. My friend has an old Blazer K5 and he made a whole new gauge cluster with all iEquus gauges and he is happy.

How do you make a gauge cluster that is tasteful looking?

I personally plan on using either Stewart Warner or Speedhut in my car.

some of those inside mount fuel pressure gauges look cheaper because they sell the isolator seperate (for like 100 bucks) where it is included with the autometers.
