Now that I've saved up a little bit of money, I'm going to buy an electrical 2 1/6" oil pressure gauge for my car to monitor my new engine. I've been doing some looking around, and although I'd love to have something from Defi or Apexi or Blitz or HKS, I just can't spend $200 on one oil pressure gauge. So below are some of the choices I'm thinking of right now. All of them can be had for under $60 shipped, and a couple are significantly cheaper.
1. Autometer Sport-Comp - This gauge is known to be accurate, and can have a red backlight to match my gauge cluster and cd player and clock in the future. Unfortunately, it isn't the full-sweep style that I personally like a lot more. ![]() 2. Autometer Ultra-Lite Full-Sweep - This gauge is also known to be accurate, and can have a red lighted ring around the gauge that illuminates it night, and looks very cool from what I've seen. It's also full-sweep, which looks better in my opinion, but it's the most expensive of my choices so far. ![]() 3. Autotechnic S7 - This gauge is a full-sweep gauge, and features blue, red, and orange illumination, and is a very cool and futuristic-looking gauge. Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything about accuracy or reliability on these gauges. 4. Matrix Type-X - This gauge is a full-sweep gauge, and features a white face which illuminates indiglo blue at night. As far as accuracy goes, I'm not sure how it is, but it looks very nice in my opinion. ![]() So out of those gauges, which do you guys prefer? So far, I'm liking the Autometer Ultra-Lite gauge the most, but I'm wondering if anyone has used these gauges and what they think of them. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
