As the search function no longer has any use at all (I did try looking)

I have not see a gauge post for a while anyway so lets see your set ups and what you have as not sure what is best to display so looking for inspiration

Charlie, don't you find the light so close to your eye level a major distraction at night ?, I disconnected the light in my pillar boost gauge for that reason, unless you don't do a lot of night driving.

Mine is similar to yours, display in centre with 2 gauges in the corners but I found the 2 gauges hard to read as the steering wheel gets in the way so am changing the gauges to less important ones

This is mine



I am tempted to fit the R&B temp gauge like you have at the bottom though as I have some spare room

I like the pillar pod gauges they look smart.

Mine.The one and only.




I would like to put an oil pressure gauge in one day.

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

This is the thing, I have not used my car in ages and not really looked into what folks display so not sure whats important to have.

The digital dash reads from the ecu so on that I had displayed:
voltage, water temp, charge temp and throttle angle as well as the usual rpm, speed and milage.

I have a boost gauge and AFR gauge but was thinking Oil pressure, Fuel pressure and maybe one more..

That EGT gauge is crap lol, its already reading 200 and it ain't even in the car

Gav, fair point mate, will see what it's like when it's in

I went for it as it displays so much, with warnings for all.

Milage and trip, battery voltage, fuel level, fuel pressure, coolant temp, oil temp, oil pressure - think that's it lol.

To me, most important are oil pressure, EGT and AFR.

I'll only need one external gauge - boost!

Steve - that's from where the last engine was stopped

They do take a bit of getting used to right enough hardly drive the car at all these days lol

This is what I would expect a cosworth dash to look like if they were in production today looks world class Very very tidy mate

Looks nice! Whats the best way to tackle converting these panels; materials, tools etc...

In place of the bulb/door warning bit area I have three gauges, volt, oil temp, oil pressure, then a combined plenum and air filter temp(switchable, cost around £5), as well as my rev limit buzzer, and a few switches, warning led's, I used electro luminescent gauges as very easy on the eye at night.

Cheers dude Im gonna change the AEM wideband gauge to a Stack jobby then I'll leave it be.

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

Like that Nash, I actually had the same SPA set up but sold it all when I had a downer with the car.
Oh and your centre gauge doesn't look straight, lol

Nash

iTrader: (3)

Gav I know that feeling, that Gauge isn't in my best books at the minute as its not showing the numbers i want lol.

Nash

iTrader: (3)

If you change the AEM one let me know as my best mates after one at the minute.

cossie604

iTrader: (2)

Sorry mate Im keeping it for my other car. They're quite cheap to buy new tbh fella.

ajamesc

i like the simple look heres mine vdo boost oil temp and pressure i went vdo as i needed a 3 bar boost gauge and a stack afr one the green led is for when the water injection is actived via the ecu

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

Thats doesn't sound good bud...

Im also suprised at how many people have taken the clock out, that would send me nuts not having a clock in the car, lol

cossie604

iTrader: (2)

I use my watch to tell the time

This is what I want for my track shitter escort but not sure if it will work with my Gotech MFi ECU? My escort doesn't even have a rev counter at the mo!

How does the Stack dash read MPH out of curiousity?

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

I'd imagine the Stack is the same as mine in that you have to run a pick up sensor off the hub or brake bell bolts

flashturbo

iTrader: (2)

That's how mine is set up, picks up off the brake bell bolts, works sound

Paul_RS

iTrader: (4)

Stack uses standalone gauges/wiring for everything, so it doesn't matter what ECU you are running.

Paul_RS

iTrader: (4)

Nothing fancy in mine, but they are effective and easy to read.

Nash

iTrader: (3)

Yeah and on a brand new engine that hasn't even covered a mile, I am hoping its a faulty oil pump but until i get my new one and fit it i wont know.

The lack of a clock doesn't bother me tbh as my CD player has one anyway.

Just got this



Steve

i had one of them back in the day was a nice bit of kit but had to sell it as it couldent be used with my autronic sm4

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

I will be able to see how accurate my gauges are now

Steve

ajamesc

my vdo ones seem ok lol my boost was set at 2.6 bar and it sits dead on that the pressure and temp seem realistic and the stack afr one sits mid to high 10s on boost so suits me lol

Fitted a 60mm gauge into a 40mm pod so it doesnt block my line of sigt asmuch.

Here's my setup:

Sweet, I saw some other dashes which run straight from the ECU so got confused lol!

Looks wicked! Is that the ST8100? Wanna sell it? I ain't paying £1000 for 1!
