Gauges

Opinions please - are these suitable / priced right for my 2008 3ltr GU Wagon?

I'm gonna get a pillar pod thingy so don't really need the pod casing that comes with this but prices I've seen are very close without pods?

I had them first. They are CHEAP quality. The pyro didnt change colors with the button so i sent it back and he sent me the same one back saying it was another, i clearly knew it wasnt as it had the same scratch on it.

The boost gauge flickers so you will need to add a filter. I promptly bought others which were 100% better. And the pod that comes with it doesnt fit nicely behind the steering wheel at all.

Yeah I was gonna say, you get what you pay for. A fair bit dearer but an awsome gauge is the McNally gauge. Its a dual boost and digital EGR in one. I have one and its great. This boost gauge uses an electronic sensor, so theres no tubing coming into the cabin, just wires.

boost gauge is wrong you need zero to 30 and the EGT gauge in centigrade.
Have yoy looked at white faced dials

...
If your refering to my pic John it is at zero, its just the angle of the pic and the temps are in Centigrade, it reads 22.4c. If your not refering to my pic then disregard my comment.

Boost/Vacuum gauges still work as the needle will sit at 0 and go up from there

[threedogs]

No not yours the one in the link.

The EGT gauge redlines at 900. Your aluminium piston melts at 720. Wrong gauge for a Patrol with aluminium pistons. Also you dont need a boost gauge that also shows vacuum - its a waste of time. Get decent stuff and save yourself problems down the track.

I had the ones in the link for a short time. The boost gauge did work fine but flickered without a filter

I went with Autron gauges, work great, audio and visual alarms and look great.
Bit pricey, but I like and that's all that matters.

I like them too Mego but found out about them
after I fitted my Speco gauges,
Would be one of the better available along with VDO and Murphy

Hey Mego are they both the same size or is the volt gauge smaller

Both are the same size. Just the angle if the photo.

Thanks Mego, do both gauges come with everything you need to install them,
Also the 2 volt gauges are straight forward as well as the EGT gauge but where does the Boost gauge hook into,
Cheers Tonks.

I also added the light controller option.
As for fitting, I'm the wrong guy.
I got ARB to fit it all for me.

The instructions are very comprehensive for a self install.

If you do a search on Autron gauges, I'm pretty sure some one did a self install and told everyone about it.
If you find the thread, you be able to PM him to get the info you need.

I fitted my Autron gauges. Took a full day and a fair bit of work. They come with full instructions - but you still need to have a bit of an idea and the right tools. The boost gauge fitted to my intercooler. It is aftermarket and already had a threaded hole to attach the boost hose.
