with shipping it was a total of $63.00

very high quality for the amount payed!!!
i have been looking for a full sweep oil pressure gauge forever
and the autometer's were all mechanical.

this fit the bill perfectly.

im just sharing the cool ****. and you can get the whole line up from this same guy.

$24 for shipping for one gauge just makes me mad.

 

^^^ I agree. Some people are crazy.

 

yea shipping is a rip.. f-ebay.. been scammed too many times.

 

Id rather have the Defi... you get what you pay for..

Not always true. Autometers are cheap and have worked fine for people for years. Nascar and tons of the Top Fuel guys use them.

I would like to see them installed and see how accurate they are. They do look exactly like Defi's though

 

high shipping prices often go with low item price. it cuts down on sellers fee.

 

So those do a sweep motion like the defi's ???

 

Hmm..... I think i will be doing some shopping on Friday when i get paid.all four for 250 bucks is not bad at all. And im pretty sure there will be a discount if you got all four at once.

 

I just bought a greddy boost and egt.... it would probably look bad to have some missmatched. Really though the price is good.

plus its only like 1/4 sweep, and looks ricy.

these are very clean. they dont sweep when you first start them but i think i can live without that and keep about $200 in my pocket.

But then again... my friend was on the dyno, his autometer EGT fouled out, his Autometer Boost Gauge was off by 3 psi, and the oil pressure gauge got siezed on his trip and when pressure dropped, the gauge didnt and his motor siezed. All in all, I would say save for DEFI!

OK, I doubt your friend had 3 bad gauges all at once......1 I could understand but not 3. I would like to see his installation of all of them. Why did his oil pressure drop and his motor seize??? Sounds like your buddy cant take care of his car.


You can save for all Defi gauges all you want, but just because they are 3 times as much does not make them 3 times better. I have Apex'i gauges myself but I have run Autometer gauges in the past with no problem.

 

I had a brand new autometer 4301 boost gauge. it worked great for 2 weeks and the needle went off by 8 or 10 psi! It was so off that when i shut off the car, it was stuck on 10vac. when i hit boost (5psi) the needle barely hits 1mmHG of vac.

the gauge went out of calibration obviously in 2 weeks...since then i have returned the gauge to autometer for warranty, and then sent it back to the store for a refund. and then went and bought a Defi D-gauge boost gauge and have been happy ever since.

autometer is good, but their mechanical boost gauges suck!!!!

 

it wasnt all at once, two fouled on the dyno, and then another on a trip he was taking.

 

face it defi guages are proven and reliable. they are the best.

They must be the best if you say so..........

 

these knockoffs do not have a peak warning light or adjustability. There is no daisy chain system because of the lack of controller, no recordability or playback of data, theres more different between thease cheap knockoffs and real defi than just the brand name. believe me you get what you pay for.

 

im such a noob to defi. but I was told that to runs defi gauges. I had to buy some sort of expensive controller to control them. is this true?

 

ebay owns all... best prices great products... what else would you want? Ive bought shoes, shirts, car parts, etc. and i have not been scammed once. I just do my research on the persons feedback and etc. You really cant go wrong if you look into there feedbacks. That is my opinions though.... and those gauges i probably wouldnt buy. but hey try it and let us know...

The control unit is about 100-120...pretty cheap for what it allows you to do.

Yeah if you are running all electric gauges and want the sweep/peak holds etc. You need the controller..... the D gauges can just be run without it though.... but there is no sweep etc.

 

i have the glowshift guages, and they work great, havent had a problem with them, and whoever said that the oil was mechanical, well mine is electronics sooo...
