If you love your car enough you will pay the machine shop to make the adaptors. Thats what I mean drilling and welding bungs, tapping into lines etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 thats where such things come in handy its clean and quite fit i am in process of tossing some things in some parts i have and some are still in figuring of how to commence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Just a food for thought, how about going for "almost" all in one cluster for key data like Exhaust temp, Water Temp, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure etc in one single digital panel. It is supplied with individual sensor and wiring and all those get connected to control panel that is hooked with digital panel, looks pretty neat but pricey. Anyone tried this one.....? How about this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/132641287237 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertdude Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I had a friend who had replaced stock gauges with this or something very similar to this as it looked exactly like this on his modified Jeep TJ. Looked real ugly TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 That’s a cheap Chinese copy of a Stack motorsport dash. The original ones cost up to $2,000 or more. They’re extremely popular and most rally cars I’ve worked on run Stack systems. http://www.stackltd.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a cheap copy; it is a cheap and nasty copy... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ok guys, I know the pro guys run Motec and other stuff that a normal weekend warrior really cannot afford to spend upto 5-10k USD just for gauges unless you are doing these stuff for a living. So my question is what is the best and reasonably priced gauge that every weekend warrior can afford to keep a close eye on engine oil temp and pressure, water temp and exhaust temp to know when to stop pushing if things go south - once in a while.

Barry Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Tim gauges are good quality and reasonably priced. Plenty of people using them in high end builds. You can mix and match whatever gauges you want, water, oil, battery etc. The market is full of universal 52mm mounts and pods for cheap so you can mount them on the dash, in the dash, on the a pillar or anywhere else you want.

Barry Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Also to add, always go for electrical gauges with sender units. Some gauges like oil pressure, turbo pressure have a pipe running directly to the gauge. If that pipe breaks it will cover the back of your dashboard in oil.
