Can you guys plz recommend me something?
I want something small, and easy to read.
gotta have a black face, read in psi, and I can't deal with really high readings(like going up to past 30, cuz i'm only running under 10psi, so if that range is really smal lit makes it hard to read)

i have an spi gauge and it's all wierd and innaccurate..

and I refuse to buy anything made by autometer..
so lmk whats up!
thanks!

 

Defi D gauge, you can get it in black, reads in psi and not too bad on the wallet.

 

Here are my defi d series gauge pics i just took during the install in 27 degree weather last night in the garage

Well you have Autometer and Apex'i. I dont know if Blitz makes one in PSI, but I do know Greddy doesnt.

Just be a biter..I got this new for like $95. If you look at the box on the defi gauge they are made by NS (nippon sports). The same company who makes OEM honda guages.

 

Even though it won't match your gauge cluster at night, Greddy makes some nice, smaller gauges. I think they light up green. No readings in psi, though. If you want psi, I think you're limited to what you have, VDO, Autometer, Nordskog, and Defi. Am I leaving any out? Oh, Omori is another one. I don't know if it's true, but I read on here somewhere that they make gauges for Greddy. You can also get custom colors for the needle and backlight. They're pretty nice:

 

Nordskog rocks me good

^^ check engine owns my pos
^^ Boost PSI ^^^ Fuel Presure

Or you could be a biter. I'm pretty sure I was the first person on this forum to get the D-gauge. So, bite me.

$100 for a mechanical boost gauge isn't too bad on the wallet?

 

I was told that it's more accurate. I don't think that's bad at all for Japanese quality.

 

are omori gauges made by autometer or something?

it says auto meter everywhere on their site,
not sure if they mean the company, or just automotive meters..

 

No, they're Japanese:

Is VDO cheap? I need to either buy a new boost gauge or repair mine

 

VDO is cheap. Summit sells them.

 

where can i find 52mm omori's at a good price?

I don't know. It's been a while. I had a hard time finding them in amber, then Defi released the D-gauges, so I just got one of those instead.

and autometer is american?

 

yes autometer is american, but for some reason autometer pops up on the omori webstie header. go figure

 

yeah it's wierd,
I can belive omori isn't related though.

looked at the site, heck htey've been around since 1940! wow

 

cant i just change the bulb in the omori's to change the color that they light up as? i have autometers right now, but i would like to know where ican get those damn omori's without sacrificing a body part

 

i have autometers right now and have no complaints.

im going to go defi.

 

yeah i have a bad feeling omori's are mad bank..

i've got a big kragen brand vacuum gauge.. it seems to work but I need
something more permanent. My friend gave me an spi gauge..
it's reading me at like 8psi when i know I have the stock 6psi kit(also my vacuum gauge reads 6psi) and the needle resets at like 1, I fixed it to reset at 0 by twisting on the nipple.. but it still reads high.

so I need something that I can really rely on..
autometer is NOT that. Heard of plenty of people ending up with a shitty innacurate autometer gauge.. and I don't need to be taking that chance.
do it right the first time.
