Subscribed to see the results ! I need gauges for mine too, need to find an affordable pyro....

 

They are back ordered and should be here toward the end of the month. I was thinking about an isspro pyro since everyone wants a lot of money. Its probably because of the pyro probe cost.

 

They pushed my delivery date back to the end of January. They are no longer offering the gauges I ordered. Maybe they realized they had them listed to cheap. Take a look at these affordable gauges. I may order the pyro or all four gauges just in case the stewart warners don't show up. I have a feeling stewart warner and summit racing my flake out on my order.

I wouldn't like a couple of those gauges for a 12 valve.
The 30 psi boost gauge isn't enough, 40 psi should be the minimum, 60 psi preferable.
Same goes for the fuel pressure gauge, 100 psi will be reading at the bottom of the scale all the time.
SW are quality gauges though. Their pyros have always been the cheapest.

 

Agreed but for the $15 stewart warner gauges I couldnt pass it it. Even when towing my truck probably stays below 30psi boost. Im more of a longevity/fuel economy guy these days. That gbi pyro is a good price.

 

Summit is dropping the ball so Im going to have to purchase elsewhere.

I see many of the higher temp thermocouples on ebay and even some coming from the usa. Can I use one of these cheaper models on that gbi pyro gauge or do I need to buy an expensive autometer?

With a mechanical fuel pressure gauge I have read you can use just about any pressure gauge. Is this true with an electric fuel pressure guage? Mechanical uses an isolator and an electric uses a sender. i would like to go with an electric.

I also see mechanical and electric trans oil temp guages. I am planning on purchasing one of the napa trans oil lines plumbed for sensor. I assume that is for using a mech gauge, correct?

If anyone can help me here I greatly appreciate it.

 

Why not just ponny up and spend the ~$300 on a reliable set of gauges. They'll come with everything you need you want have to try this or that because they come with everything that works.

If you do some more reading you'll find that electrical FP gauges dont have a very good history do to the pulsing the lift pumps produce.

If you buy a set of gauges that are meant for your vehicle you shouldn't have to buy a trans line. I've welded a bung to the side of the pan before. Total cost = ~.50 for the bung.

Not trying to be mean, but there's a reason most people spend the money they do on gauges. They're the life line to your expenisve investment. Going cheap will only cost you in the long run.

 

I had a complete set of isspros before I got my quad and they were like $400. For Fuel, EGT, and Boost. Amazing quality. There is a reason tracto trailers use isspro..

 

Thanks for the input guys. I have not done a ton of research but stewart warner seems to make a decent product. $45 is better for me compared to $300. Everything I have and what is coming is mechanical. I had the expensive quad gauge on my previous truck and they couldnt keep the fuel pressure sender working.

The boost and fuel pressure arrived so I threw the boost gauge in. Appears to work pretty well and is lighted for $15. I'll have to pick up an isolator before I install the fuel pressure gauge.

 

Here you go since I know how all y'all like the pics. Im planning on boost, fuel press and trans temp down low and pyro up by the pillar where I can keep closer eye on it. I guess I'll have to get some or paint the mounts black since that chrome is a bit much.

 

Did you get them @ Summit? Or where and how much?

I ordered from summit online but I'm not sure if they are still offering. It took them a while to ship so they may have screwed up on the price or something. I recommend keeping an eye on summit and search and sort price low to high.
