Any good place you guys recommended to buy some gauges? Looking for a oil pressure, engine temp, in particular...

 

locally. autometer seems pretty popular with the chain stores. they are a good gauge for a good price.

 

JEGS.com and Autometer. Try Ractive also.

 

they places around here sell gauges but a lil over priced you know

 

May be a bit more than others, but damn they sure look nice, sweeping gauges FTW http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=147701

 

You know eGay has them.

 

If your gonna do an oil pressure guage, ditch that crappy plastic nylon tubing the autometer comes with. Instead pick up some flexible copper tubing. Works wonders.

 

I just ordered a set from Prosport. I'm replacing my Autometers.

let me know how the Prosport guages are pretty nice how much?

 

The prices are labeled below the description of each gauge.

Oil Pressure = Useless. We have a light that tells us when it's low(pressure). I see no real purpose to read it on a high resolution scale(i.e gauge).

ECT = Somewhat useful, but in order to get accurate results, you'll need a custom input device. Preferably 0-5v. Then use the FSM to accurately model the curve with respect to your input voltage values.

 

The idiot light is BS. It doesnt come on till you pretty much loose all pressure. I had low oil and my gauge told me with low psi, so it works. Also I lost my fans and the stock temp gauge was reading normal where my temp gauge told me the engine was heating up and not cooling correctly. I pulled over and found the problem pretty quick.

 

Temp gauge wont move from 160*F- ~215*F. Anywhere in between those value and it will stay 'in the middle'. I've seen this on both A33B's and A32's.

Also, if the oil pressure light turns on because of low oil, them you REALLY have low oil.
