Where do i put my guages?

[speeddreamz]

Well, i got this trust boost guage, 60mm for my sr20, but i got no place to put it ! I ghetto rigged it with a nail and bracket to right above my fan climate controls. I am thinking 3 options.

1. A-Pillar Guages, Ive seen the dual ones for like a auto meter guages, but i;ve yet to see dual 60mm duals. Ive seen a greddy trust 60mm one but a single? would 2 sets of those work well ?

2. Has anyone ever seen this ? Take out the air vents in the center, since i dont have a/c anyways and go ahead and stick the 2- or 3 60mm guages in there somehow...where ? anyone know how to take the vents out?

3. put the guages on top of the dash or ontop of the steering wheel with gauage pod brackets?


personally i am thining 1 or 2.... i just needa know if its possible to do the air vents.

Ok for the boost gauge.... there is an awesome sleeper spot my friend found out which i LOVED. It's under hte steering wheel in the right corner, a little deeper than your foot will go... It can't be seen from the outside while you have a perdect view of it while driving.... too bad i can't use it <- My boost gauge is 80mm (also greddy) and my legs are pretty long, so it gets in the way. I am putting an a/f gauge there though

Taking out the center vents: psi240sx did that on his s14 (iirc). It looked damn nice as long as you are fine with air not coming through in the center... I wouldnt' do it for a single gauge though.

A pillar: not my personal choice

There is a guy around my place which has a custom piece on top of his dash. Also looks very nice, but i wouldn't go through the trouble for a single gauge...

My bad, forgot to mention 2-3 guages for future, 1 for now, 2 for sure 3 maybe .... boost , air/fuel , and oil temp/pressure/egt ??? maybe

I have seen it done in the little peice that opens up to hold things in that is beside the e brake handle. he took it out and got a custon peice iof carbon fiber to fit the rectangle and cut out a circle for the gauge. altough the gauge isnt very visable during driving unless you look down at it.

Move your radio down a spot, to where that tray is right now, then put the gauges where that tray would be in a little plastic or aluminum panel that you can make yourself... That way, it will be just below the HVAC controls and not far out of view...

I've actually got one of the Blitz DIN sized guage holders for the spot under your radio I dont use..(its for 60mm guages which are getting rare to find) if your intrested PM me :) Three guages will fit in it.
