Gauges

[firefighterwhite89]

I Love having gauge readouts. Still gotta get an attachment for my Fuel PSI gauge but it's 1/8" Male and the Fuel Test Bolt on the Fuel Filter is M6 x 1.0. I haven't found any adapters to adapt that. Anyone got any ideas? I'm sure i'm not the only one who has had this problem.
And my Vacuum Gauge connected to my Intake seems to prove it's worth every time i ever get a vacuum leak.

Next on the list of gauges to get is:
Oil PSI (Glowshift Red Digi)
Coolant Temperature (Glowshift Blue Digi)

I've got two HOYT Ampere gauges.


Would you just hook it up to your Alternator? Would one connected to the battery be in anyway useful?

get rid of the ammeter, use a volt meter, ammeters are a fire waiting to happen, they have burned up a lot of cars, since all the current from the alternator has to go through them, also get an electronic fuel pressure gauge, you dont want fuel under pressure coming directly into the car, or get a gauge isolater, it keeps the fuel under the hood, and still lets you use a mechanical gauge, you never want fuel past the firewall. I know Honda puts the fuel lines in the car, but there are no actual connections inside of the passenger compartment, only a solid steel line, which isn't likely to leak, if you had a connection fail on the gauge or line, it would be spraying fuel all over the car and knowing all the electrical behind the dash, it would be really bad really fast

I believe MSC Industrial is the place to get very hard to find thread adapters. I used their adapter to convert the oil pressure sender threads (1/8" BSP) to work with a standard oil pressure gauge (1/8" NPT). Thanks to Lost for doing that research.

he doesnt need to have a fuel line coming into the car at all, thats a disaster waiting to happen, electric gauge or gauge isolator under the hood, I'll probably even run one for oil pressure eventually, having an oil line break in the car was bad enough, a fuel line doing the same thing could kill you

It is an electronic fuel gauge. Has a unit that adapts somewhere in the fuel line, and wires carry back to the gauge from the sender itself.
This thing.

I already have these.

those were free. These are next.




I've got this gauge if anyone is interested.

If you really want an ammeter in your car, look for one that uses a shunt. That way you need not run full current to the meter and back. They ain't terribly cheap though.

[firefighterwhite89]

I'm pretty sure this one uses a shunt.

do what I did get the SDC heads up voltage monitor, replaces the idiot light for the alternator and a voltage gauge, all at once. it's pretty intuitive, one single led three colors, flashes for over voltage and under voltage, instantly tells you if the alternator stops working. if everything is normal the LED stays green then dims to not be a distraction, if anything changes it comes back up to full brightness and gives you the status by color and flashing. they were originally designed for motorcycles, so the micro processor is tiny, I have a thread somewhere, I went to a lot of trouble to get rid of my alternator idiot light, and install a clear battery icon in the cluster so the LED could be put behind it

For the fuel pressure sensor you need one of these:

You could also drill and tap your existing bango bolt for 1/8". Either the one on the fuel filter or right on the fuel rail.
