Best Bang For Your Buck Gauges

[falcon]

These are cheaper and don't require a control unit like the other gauges but the total cost of 4 gauges still comes close to $900.

HKS Sells exactly what I want in a package for about 700 dollars. I will take a look at SRi still just to see if the prices are comparable or not.

Speedhuts look OK but they are still not metric. Too bad.

where are you finding prices?

Boost, oil temp and water temp are only going to cost me $450.

Why not GReddy. They make both 52mm and 60mm. You can get either black or white faces with blue, red or green background led's.

Most of there gauges retail for under $200 us in either 52mm or 60mm. And you can likely find them for much cheaper than that.

The Blitz black light/carbon guages were pretty decently priced and then AEM makes some good ones too, can find the AEM ones on ebay for far cheaper then with a good discount from lordco.

Haha...I geuss it helps If I read eh. Those do look good and the price is right. I can't seam to find alot of reviews on them though. Too bad there is no 60mm gauges but thats not the end of the world.

I wouldn't run a boost gauge without vacuum readings.

Some of the guys on HybridZ uses them ill try to collest info but from what im reading they seem to be very accurate and very good products easy to install and no controller .

I saw that too. if I were to get these I'd look at a different boost gauge like one fron STRi. I need to do more reading though.

The non metric gauges have vaccum ,is having a gauges in Bar that important ?

well if you're JDM tight you would get BAR. Personally I like it better just because I will be running 1bar (14.5ish psi). For me there are too many numbers on a PSI gauge and it makes it harder to read. I loved my defi that I had for the gts-t, easy to take a quick glance at to see what I was boosting.

The down side to BAR is that if you want to run say, 10psi, then you will have to always look for .8bar on the gauge. If you plan to run in small increments of PSI then go for the PSI gauge.

No, it's not that important. But it is what I'm used too. I'm currently waiting for quotes on STRi Gauges. That will be the deciding factor for my purchase.
