Anyone have any idea on how to install an oil pressure gauge, volt gauge, and fuel pressure gauge? Im looking into buying all three for my 92 eg hatch but wanna make sure i can install them before i buy em. They would all run into a triple gauge pod.

Any walkthroughs or anything would be awesome. Any help is better than none

It's got to be about the easiest thing you can do. Power, ground and whatever runs to signal the gauges. Since you failed to mention what type of gauge, mechanical or electrical, that part is also not too difficult to figure out. Fuel pressure installs on your rail or on teh fuel filter. Plenty of walk-throughs on the internet to be found.

Electric i would like. What is a good brand that everyone would recommend that wouldnt break the bank haha.

Sounds easy enough to install tho.

You want to know how to install gauges but don't have any gauges?

I hope you're doing this because you legitimately need to monitor these things.

i prefer autometer. although apexi has some sweet looking gauges, if you want to spend $200+ per gauge.

ill look into autometer, but what do you guys think about these?

they make some 3 pod combos for around $200

thats ebay junk. if your getting it for looks then go for it. but if you want something accurate then go autometer or apexi.

if i were you tho, i would run an oil pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge, and a vacuum gauge. a "vacuum gauge" is a very good friend to have when diagnosing engine problems.

I reiterate. Based on the OP's posts I figure most of us are doing the boards a dis-service by not establishing whether or not this kid needs to blow $500 on gauges.

You need the banjo bolt with the fitting for your fuel pressure unit and a sandwich plate that goes under your oil filter. For your constant power run a to your battery with a fuse and for you swiched power get a male spade that will plug into your accesory power along the top of your fuse panel run ground to any unpainted surface

Why? Maybe his car is bone stock? Unless your FI, I wouldn't run anything.

Another WOW factor thread.

He has a slightly built N/A motor.

Libertariat

So why does he need these gauges?

He wants to pimp out his Civic?

Looks like a cam, Hondata and some bolt-ons. That's why I say "slightly".

Google works too...most times a honda-tech thread will show up in the results. Then after that you may have questions....IJS.

Honestly I use vdo gauges in both my civic's and they have worked well for me, I run voltmeter and oil pressure. I have the cockpit series in one and the other car I got the vision series.

For a stock car this is about the only two I would run.
