Can someone link or post some pics of gauges in the not-so-obvious locations. I have an Autometer Bezel for boost and a/f, but in the future i'd like to add 2 or 3 more for other functions. I don't want to have an A-pillar, but how about under the radio or in the glove compartment? anyone have these?

 

my buddy installed his in a pod in the drivers side door panel.. not he best for qwik look info, but u couldnt even tell he had gauges if u pulled up next to him or walked up to his car and looked in.

I know its kinda an odd ball one, but i didnt see anyone else posting and thought id atleast try to throw someting out there for ya

 

If you have an empty DIN panel, you can fit 3 gauges there...
BLITZ makes a 3x43mm DIN panel
Omori makes 3x45mm and 3x52mm DIN panels:

hehe..I know its suppose to be a sleeper, but where are they?

 

in his lil digidash is my guess.

 

Ah, I like that look of that, right with the radio and other accesory controls. Does anyone have a glove compartment setup? I was thinking of putting a Profec-B in there....

 

Sorry, I only have 1 gauge.

 

i was just messing with you guys, thats a pic of what my interior was stock. one thing i like about my interior dash is it lights up when you start the car, otherwise its just black

 

So no one's got any installed in the glove box?

 

Not a gauge, but my Hondata blue box is in there!

 

Try this... http://www.carbontrix.com

I thought about mounting 3 guages down where the cigarette lighter would be, and have them angleing up in one pod.

 

I know they stoped making it, but the HKS camp w/ a lcd screen would have been awesome!

 

in my glove compartment i have: profec b boost controller, fuel pressure gauge, volt gauge, and oil pressure gauge. to the left of the steering wheel(93 civic hatch) theres a place for the sunroof controls for an si(i think). its bare in the dx, cx, vx......so thats where the water temp gauge is. i used to keep the egt there, but i don't need an egt right now. boost gauge is mounted just behind the steering wheel, in front of the stock speedo/tach cluster. nothing is seen from sitting in a car next to me. last year, i used the stock honda tach. unless you are very serious about dragracing/autox, an aftermarket tach is just overkill/rice. ESPECIALLY if its on your dash.

 

btw, thats an autometer a/f in there.

I'll plan to put all digital gauges in a mirror sometime (boost and egt). I'm ust kinda out of the scene and on my mtb bike all day. hahah

Doesn't that A/F gauge get annoying, especially at night? I have on my autometer bezel, and it gets to me since it's constantly blipping back and forth. I can't imagine how it is at eye-level.

Matzur> how is that A/f gauge anchored in that location?

 

here's my fuel pressure gauge and other piggy backs in the glove box:

Quaalude and Pagong> Could you give me some details on those setups? Custom installed or done yourself? Both look great...

 

The gauges are secured via Autometer hardware that came with the gauge. It's just two locking nuts. Super stable and it's smack dab in the middle.

 

Sorry i dont have any better pics of the guages, but, it does its job well! It is held together by the autometer brace from the back and mounted on a piece of black board that they use for speaker boxes!! so basically its just a piece of black wood ...im gonna cut more into it to mount my TT and Boost controller.

 

I realize I should take the VAFC off of the dash here are mine:

 

done myself...i made a template out of cardboard to measure correct dimensions for the faceplate and to see where and how i would place the components....then i used 1/4" plexiglass for the faceplate and support brackets for the components, vinyl/leather to cover it, superglue for the brackets, and hot glue for the vinyl

 

That's gorgeous....thanks for those specs! I'm thinking a future project for myself will be similar.
