Brisbane people please HELP

[Bobjones]

I am in the search for some guages while here in the states, and have found the racing parts heaven.

The questions I have are as follows:

- The best guages to install either mechanical or electrical

Also what type are from factory, is the oil pressure mechanical and the water temp electrical.

Anyhelp would be appreciated. For a cost comparison check out

www.summitracing.com and compare the prices...god bless america!!

thanks in advance

BUMP, I need some help people!!!

I prefer electrical guages... Just seems neater in my mind and keeps all the nasty bits out of the cabin...

Factory water temp is electrical...

Factory oil pressure is electrical too IIRC though I'm not sure on this one... There are defineately no oil lines coming into the cabin...

[Bobjones]

What about the factory boost guage...I was thinking of getting mechanical for this one???

Strutto do you have any guages that are electrical???

[51jay]

Boost gauge is only a vac line into the cabin...no problem and accurate. Oil pressure can be elect or direct via oil line to the gauge. Direct responds quicker to changes in pressure, electric negates any chance of hot oil spraying around the cabin. Take your pick.

I am going to get an electric one for the line, but they only go to 100psi...which mine runs at when cold in the mornings...

I will also get a electric one for the project.

I have got a mechanical boost and will get an electric water, oil temp and volts as well.

Has anyone had any experience with the blitch single solenoid boost controller???

Mech boost should be fine... Didn't know about the responsiveness issue with elec oil pressure... Good info as always Jay... I'd just rather the oil stay in the engine...

FWIW, I've got a mech boost but wouldn't say no to a good quality electrical one...
