Dash gauges
Turbo Mini Forums

Just wondering what dash gauges people use as I've finally got my centre binnacle. Now I need to deside what gauges to go for. I looked at the smiths ones at digital gauges but they came to about £600 which is crazy money.

Where did you get that binnacle mate?

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

That isn't my one mine is made of fibreglass been looking for one for ages. I got it at mitp on the auto jumble stalls for £12 :)

That's cheep mate, I had some bloke want £35 for a fibreglass one that was in shit state.

This will need a bit of work but thinking of putting a sheet of carbon on the front of it. I couldn't say no at that price really as I've not seen one for sale before.

There was some where selling them, but I can not find them anywhere.

I don't think it looks right, sort of like a growth on the side :/
Might look better fitted though!
I ended up buying a digi dash from digital speedos, if you add up everything it does seperately it's a massive saving over the individual gauges. All i need now is a boost and AFR gauge separate, Which I'll probably buy AEM.

Boost

Think I might need a bigger dash lol

I have the above plus oil temp, its not essential but nice to have. I would not run a turbo motor without a wideband its saved my engine a couple of times when i was having intermittent fueling issues

Any gauge that helps flag possible faults before failure occurs or identify setup issues. So oil temp, water temp, oil pressure, boost, fuel pressure (electrical signal), AFR and volt metre. Some or all of the above.

Own the day

I think it was 1071Bob on the MCR who was selling very high quality reproductions of the binnacle.

Have you a link mate? As I this maybe what I am looking for my new dash.

This is the best I can find with a quick search, but just send him a pm. I have one of his standard mk1 binnacles and the quality is fantastic.

Is this gauge the same as a wideband gauge? I just found it in my shed

usually have a digital bit that has a number
if it was me;

Speedo & fuel centre clock
dual smith gauge water temp& oil press
AEM dual AFR & Boost
and a rev counter on the growth part lol

covers the bases and looks clean :)

Reading up on RTS Clutches

Also found this rev counter but not sure if its suitable I'm sure someone said I need rvc to work with a mega jolt

Carl they do a Aem gauge that has boost and AFR I have one really good does data logging via USB
Handy I think

That's a narrowband gauge in your picture, better than nothing, but nowhere near as good as a wideband.
