Auto Meter Phantom series Air/Fuel and Oil Prsssure

I wasnt going to do a copper oil line but I found out its required if using your car at the drag strip. I had some 1 inch gauges from Walmart that are really nice but I dunno. Prolly just take them back. Im all about name/quality.

As for install I plan on doing a pillar that Im going to custom make from scratch. Something on the lines like this.

brat: Once you have "everything" ($parts and $install) total everything up, I'd be curious to see how it compares to the cost of my ECU monitor which costs a lot to start but I figured would be cheaper long term.


New Gadgets - 2001 ZTS - 11-26-2004

I understand but am just interested in "monitoring expense" alone. Please keep me up to date on total (installed) cost and usfullness.


New Gadgets - ZX3TUNR - 11-26-2004

as for the guages they came up to about $200. usefulness i can tell you all ready with out installing them, witch is 0 lol. Will the oil one is nice to have and air/fuel just looks fancy lol. install well cost me nothing for I am doing it myself.


New Gadgets - FocusGuy7476 - 11-26-2004

yep . you gotta put you debit or credit card in a block of ice or something.

tell me how that oil pres. gauge install goes.


New Gadgets - ZX3 in progress - 11-26-2004

I can't keep up with all your posts of new stuff for your car. lol. Anyways nice purchases, and from what I see the pilar your going to make looks like it will be nice.
