  • Gauges, cheap where?

    Where can I find cheap gauges? I need a air fuel, fuel pressure, and knock gauge. Everywhere i look, all I see is expensive ones that go for 75 to 200 bucks for a friggin gauge. I have seen some around 30-50 bucks, but hell, all i see are these damn carbon fiber, cool little LED special lights crap that they charge a fortune for. I just want it simple and ugly thats all [img]smile.gif[/img]

      I don't recommend you buy cheap gauges. You really do get what you pay for. Buy ones that have good names to it. Trust me on this one.

              I agree on this. I have a couple of autometer gauges and they have been fine. I also have fuel pressure gauge that is made by another company (can't remember the name off the top of my head) but it is fritzing out on me every now and then.. I need to change that one.

                I put autometer phantom gauges on mine. Jegs, Summit, etc have decent prices on them.

                An electric fuel pressure gauge is high no matter what...

                  Cheap gauges suck. You can get $20 ish ones from Pep Boys, Advanced, etc, and these are Sunpro's. You can get Autometer's from Jegs / Summit for $40 - $50. Depends on style / electric / mechanical / sweep you want.

                        oh god the colbalt is awsome, but way too much for me. Autometer seems to be the most popular.

                        I think the gauge that is going to be the msot expensive is the knock meter. Casper makes for 100$ i believe.

                        I'll just go with Autometer [img]smile.gif[/img]
