I'm comteplating getting some gauges for my R build, the ones that i'm looking at are oil pressure, and oil temp.

Just wondering which guages you guys use and which ones are the most accurate

 

I'm picking up some greddy gauges this week. Oil temp and pressure as well, Ill let you know how they work out.

If you are flogging your R, I would get the warning type gauges. They have the warning light and peak value playback, so you dont' have to be scoping them out all the time.

As for the other brands..

I haven't been to impressed w/autometers..

Blitz also has some nice gauges, but they are slightly spendy. Defi is also a good choice but expensive.

 

I use Defi D-guages, they match almost perfectly the color scheme of the ITR dash. Fairly inexpensive compared to some other gauges (cheapest Defi gauge line available). From me.

 

I use the Defi's also but the BF series.

 

Autometer baby. Cheap and accurate enough for the pros.

Defi's are beautiful, but damn if I spend that much coin on some guages.

 

I run Autometers and they seem to be OK. If I were to do it all over again I would get the Defi BF. They are amazing!!!

 

Only aftermarket gauge I have is a Defi boost gauge. Spent too much, but damn, it's pimp.

Much thanks to Leo, who delivered it to me at Expo 2.

 

either Defi or Autometer both very good

 

also Defi BF

 

For those running the Defi-D oil pressure guage, was there a need to link off of a control unit like the Defi-BF series?

or does the D guage just attach to the oil pressure sensor or something like that?

 

Defi D gauges don't use a control unit, only the Link and Black Face series use the control unit.

I like GReddy gauges.

 

After browsing around I think I may actually pick up the spa gauges instead.

The oil temp and pressure are built into 1 unit, saves money and space... not to mention they are backlit orange

If you are interested in the greddy's I already bought a Greddy temp gauge w/warning and peak hold, if you want it let me know. Ill sell it for cheap.

King Motorsports sells Spa gauges...and last I checked, their price was better than the exchange rate.

 

Had Greddy Oil Pressure and Temp gauges in my old ITR - I loved them. Pics and info here:

i use the CARBON autometer guages with the amber lighting

the needles are silver, lettering is yellow, light is amber and carbon face to match our interior

sorry pic sucks, but they are perfect IMO

 

Has anyone tried Stewart Warner gauges? Any experience with them?

i go with the Defi too. Though about the Greddy and HKS, but too expensive.

 

GReddy oil temp & pressure gauges here also, sort of sorry i didnt get the black gauges now, but i like them, perfectly clear and easy to read and the green backlight looks well along with the amber at night

 

Defi oil temp, oil press & water temp and Autometer a/f here.


If you want the all-in-one gauge, go for the Defi Link Display.

Exactly what I'll be putting in my car. Those Defi BF gauges are pimp though.
