okay noobs.

Electrical is far better then a mechanical boost gauge. And no electrical doesn't mean that the gauge lights up its to do with the sender. defari if you go with tristans sugestion and order a autogauge electronic boost gauge you'll be more than happy and we should be able to work you out a good price 10% discount on rrp.

the gauge im referring you to is:

270 stepper motor = type of motor, with 270 degrees motion

peak recall = this recalls the max boost you hit during a drive, great for tuning you t-piece.

bang for buck you cannot go wrong, but if you have loads of cash by all means get defi's.

What can you do? Want to do? Dont care?

At the moment not really fussed hey. What I WANT to do, is pannel beating/spray painting. What I can do is a great range of things because I've done a bit of everything over the years. I just want the dollars rollin' in yo :):happy:

broad minded persons!

have to come to my shop today to have a beer with me!

pffft, as if drink that women's nectar :down:

Mechanical ftw

uhhhh... you might be thinking about analogue vs digital, brah :)

huh?

kevin you're killing me, electronic owns

+1

electronic ALWAYS better than mechanical (y)

+1

Rather do some research about the companies that make it if u want a more spot on accurate gauge..

Defi aka Nippon seki has been in the watch industry alot longer and thus more accurate guage

if u want cheap shit that looks like defis but not the real deal... more wiring and more hassle.. be like 32 dave and buy autogauge..

if u want less wiring, easier plug and play more accurate reading then defi is the way to go..

everyone will have their own thoughts..

yes defi are the shit,

and after them apexi and blitz are the best option

but for our application and bang for buck - autogauge is sweet

i mean just looking on nengun now - a defi boost gauge is $225, and that doesnt include the controller, whereas the autogauge is just under $100

it depends on your budget, what you want out of your car, and where you want to take it

autogauge has been in the game for a long time. and there not cheap shit. when you say more wiring and more hassle, doesn't sound like you'v had much to do with this series of gauge, they make shit very easy, it'd be less wiring then the defi's considering they need that control box. autogauge consist of getting power to 1 gauge and then it loops in and out through plug in wiring harness, then all you need is the sensor and the wire going to the sensor, i don't see how that's more hassle ???

sweet, i was gonna go and get one of those crappy sabre ones from autobarn for like 80 bucks, but yeah if you guys recommend the auto gauge ill go with that..

not looking to go big hp car, keeping it stock but just wanting to know what boost its running as it has a manual controller, not sure what its boosting at the moment..

Thats nengun's prices.. have u even bothered to look else where??

if ur not willing the spend the money.. then go buy some sabers.. cheap pos like autometer..

LOL

GL for accuracy too

Blitz and apexi guages are just like omori guages.. good but not that great..just wiring slapped togehter and sealed with braneded logo..

prob 10-12psi would sit nice, depends do u want an excuse for a new turb? Its just trial and error with the t-pieces, start low and wind you way up and use the gauge to tell you were u sit.

What are u two doing.. blowing eachother while sitting next to each other??..

sure autogauge been in the market for a while.. but its just like saying.. yea.. power and spirit products been in the market a long time too..

a control box?

one wire goes into that? and control box goes to a power source?

sounds like u havnt touch that either..

You do realise Autometer and Autogauge are owned and made by the same people in the US "Autometer" Just happens to have a huge range of gauges no matter your budget.

Have you even looked at their style of guages?

its just like Drift style gauges..

i think your better off going to patch up your shell mate if u want to talk products with me :happy:

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
