  • Got bored today and made a fuel psi gauge

    Well ok I didnt make it but i did rig up a way to have a fuel psi gauge inside the vehicle without haveing to spend 200 dollars. What I did was buy the 25 dollar nitrous express fuel psi gauge that mounts on the fuel rail i ran it inline with my fuel soliniod then i had a nice webcam i got from work. I ran a usb cable through the firewall to my laptop and i wired in a 12v light to light up the area for the gauge i have a test video here.

          You saved 200 hundred dollars? How much does the webcam, light, and laptop cost you? It could be a quick fix, but it doesn't seem like it would work in the long run. Maybe I just don't get it? But if it fits your needs then I say good for you! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

              seen it first hand, that thing is cool as hell, gotta get switch mounted for light though, then youll be set.
