Digital boost gauge coming soon!



This will allow you to quickly glance over to see how much boost your making instead of trying to focus in on each little line while close to red line and also trying to watch where your going.

The gauge will be about $75. and $50.-$55. for the sending unit. You would use a line to read vaccume and then direct that to the sending unit. A wire would then provide that info to the gauge.




A digital fuel pressure gauge will also be available. This would also be about $75. and $20. for the sending unit. These will be listed on our site the beginning of next week.

is there going to be a digital N2O gauge at all?

The FP one will be great, but it would be nicer if I could get a N2O to match it.

2 Questions..

Is the boost gauge going to read vacuum also?

Is the fuel pressure gauge full sweep?? 0-100 PSI??

Thanks,

I'm on the fuel pressure one FOR SURE. Screw autometer, 200 dollars for the damn electrical gauge. And then you get the mechanical one for 50 bucks and still have to buy an 80 dollar isolator... garbage.

Good **** Tbyrne, put my name on one.

Xride: Nothing for nitrous yet but I'll be watching for one.

Sean94Z: Yes, the boost gauge will read vaccum and the fuel pressure gauge will read up to 150 psi.

96 WS6: These gauges are now listed on our website. I expect to see a shipment in about 7-10 days.

I'm looking forward to the boost gauge because I always found it to be a pain to focus in on which line the needle was on along with watching the RPMs.

i remember awhile back finding a company in australia that builds a guage pod mounted digital boost gauge, that also had an electronic boost controller built in, somewhere around $200-400 i think.


i wish i still had the link........that would be sweet for turbo guys.

Who makes these (Autometer) and are they 2 1/16 gauges or 2 5/8?

And will these also have a "recall' feature like the new ones 2 1/16 ones from Autometer?


Thanks,
Claude

749.00 AUD = 492.125 USD

Thats what I would like to know as well, the peak recall feature would be a nice feature to have.

not too steal any thunder away from tbyrne but these gauges really aren't that new, companies have been selling digital gauges with recall features for a while.

http://www.nordskogperformance.net/m9018.html

$69.99 for the gauge plus $49.95 for the sender...roughly $120

They have a lot of them too....i'm using their 2 1/16" fuel pressure gauge which has both a hi and low recall feature

nice stuff for not TOO much
