Im thinking about getting one of the Auto Meter blower pressure guages that reads from 0-60psi. Does anyone else use this particular guage or what do you use?

 

You get what you pay for... I use the Greddy 60mm Warning Boost gauge, its alright, I would have gone with DEFI if I could do it over.

 

I have a POS 60mm greddy warning gauge. when it powers up the needle isn't even at zero. it's about a notch off

Mine doesn't read accurately any more, its always .2BAR too high under full boost... It's consistent, just inaccurate.

 

Blitz.....only the best

????? iF AUTOMETERS were soooo bad, why would all the pros use them ? I think with as much mooney thay have invested in there cars they would trust nothing but the best.

 

i have an autometer, no problems.


hey matt, so how much boost you runnin with that fancy blitz gauge?

 

autometer here no problems. accurate and consistant. may not look as pretty as a apexi,defi, or greddy but it gets the job done.

 

Apexi here.

 

alot of people talk **** about the autometer guages but mines worked perfect so far....completly accurate i only got autometer to match my other guages....

 

Not another defend/flame Autometer thread... Augh

My Autometer fuel pressure gauge almost caught fire, when I replaced it with a Greddy rauge the rear of the Autometer gauge was melted and browning. Their accuracy is hit and miss, some are accurate off the shelf while others are not. I'd rather pay more for something that is more likely to be accurate... and something that won't cause a fire To each his own, I won't ever buy another Autometer product, but that is just because of my personal experience with their products.

 

well not to flame on anyone but there is a thing called O.E operator error. or installation error. sounds to me like you were using a mechanical fuel gauge and had a fuel line goping to the back of your gauge without proper precautions when you shoud have been using a electrical fuel gauge with a sending unit. hell they even have sendig units that will let you use water for the signal so you dont bring any fuel lines into the cabin. i dotn think yuo should blame autometer for your mishap.

Sorry to ruin your Nancy Drew explanation of my horrendous experience with Autometer buddy I was running the 0-100 PSI electrical fuel pressure gauge w/ the sending unit in the bay... I have never run any aftermarket mechanical gauges. It was an electrical issue contained within the gauge itself, not a fuel issue, so yes it was entirely the gauge's fault. The rear gauge housing was bubbling outwards and turning a toasted color when I removed it. I think the backlit bulb inside was rubbing against the plastic and melting it. All I know is, that was shitty quality control, I have never experienced anything like that with any other electrical part in my car. Maybe it was a complete fluke, but I doubt many of you would run Autometer gauges if that happened to you. I'm happy for you if your Autometer gauges are working great Mine didn't, so they get a fat from me.

Autometer here too! I haven't had 1 problem. It only cost me $20 It would have been free if i won the game of paper-rock-scissors.

 

I have my autometer... it's kind of annoying that it reads consistently +2 lbs. It never actually points to zero, even when the car is off. Sits right around 1~1.5. But, it's consistent....

I'm kinda mad about it, I thought autometers were awesome when I picked them out

 

Im running greddy, Been accurate to a "t" so far

my greddy b-spec 2 boost controller and apex-i boost gauge both monitor boost for me...

 

never had any problems with my autometer gauges. Cobalts &gt; all

It's a few instances like the above that ALOT of people hop on the "Honda-tech autometer bashing bandwagon"...god dam thats a long title

like stated above why would thousands upon thousands of racers use autometer if they werent good.

 

Defi BF. Top quality and easy to record all the gauges on a run.

 

Defi-Link

 

i have autometer and i have had no problems

 

Apex'i with warning, 30 mem/playback, and peak. Same with EGT.

Check this out, when I first installed them the boost sensor line hit a little interferance and topped out, made for a nice pic though, 2.5 bar mmmmmm...



And a very blurry pic of my entire setup:

 

look at all the pretty colors.

 

Defi-Link that reads in PSI. I love it. More accurate than my old A'PEXi gauge.....but then again that was mechanical and this one's electric.

 

I use autometer on the R and Defi on the S2G love them both. The autometer has never once blown it so no need to replace them yet
