Aftermarket Gauges Suggestion

[syline13]

Hi all,

I just installed sr20det on my s13, i do also have a/c running, but my cluster temperature is not working, I would like to install after market Temp gauges & oil pressure gauges.

Which brand will be effecient in money wise.............plz pass your suggestion to me. Thanks.

STRI, DEFI, MEGAN i dont know what to choose please help me!!!!!!!

Auto meter, preferrably something in the quality end of their selection, pro-comp, sport-comp at least.

Boost
Oil Pressure

Wouldnt bother with temperature gauge, pretty sure stock is reasonably accurate, just fix yours, there is very little that can be wrong, the sender, the wire going from the sender to the gauge, or the cluster itself, take the wire off the sender under hood, and tap it to the manifold or something else grounded, with someone watching the gauge, key on, if it moves then your sender is probably bad, otherwise its probably cluster or wiring.

if you really want to buy some quality gauges and you can afford it go with defi. by far the best gauges out there

STRI gauges! Just as good as Defi but half the price. PM me with what gauges you'd like and we'll give you a great deal :)

I used to have autometer boost gauge. It read accurately according to my boost settings.
I currently used 2 Megan gauges. Boost reads 1 bar which is the max of what my HKS actuator can hold, so it's reading accurate. My water temp reads about 190-195 during normal freeway driving. Looks accurate to me, although I can't confirm it. The bad part is that I have the tinted ones and it can make it harder to read on a really sunny day. Other than the fact that it's not baller status gauges, I don't mind the Megans.

I run Defi's, but there are other good gauges out there. STRI, Autometer, Stack, Greddy and Blitz are worth mentioning. I'd stay away from companies that "knock-off" others.

It basically comes down to what you want and can afford...

Autometer Cobalts look really good at night. if you got a blue theme

[usdm180sx]

Meh Defi, HKS, Apex if you're baller or Defi blue racer or Stri if you're on a budget. Never been a fan of autometer because they don't look right in an import car imo

[ILoveJDM]

ive got a set of defi's, pretty expensive
but compare the looks of defi to other gauges like stri and meagan, you can tell the quality difference. stri looks like ass in person vs defi.

im not sure about the sensor differences and how accurate those stri ones are. i love my defi's and i wouldnt buy anything else if i had the choice to do it over again.

I run the defi white racer gauges and love them good price also.

i agree with this gent...

[cobras89]

go with cobalt gauges

[landins13]

i like my stri gauges, ive run defi, autometer, glowshift and a few random other ones here and there. i have a autometer cobalt full sweep electrical oil press that awesome, the sensor itself is far smaller than that ofstri or defi. and im running water temp, fuel press , rpm and boost stri qauges all of which are very easy to read and accurate

[memphis180sx]

stri badass would rather spend my money on them than like 150-300 a gauge
