If like Dan you are also looking for EL boost gauges that are affordable. Then Aspec in Perth can do them for $75

Unfortunately they are 52mm but he does have nifty simple carbon fibre looking gauge cups that can be screwed to a pillar etc for $16

Pics will be up this evening or the gauge (which has a memory recall funtion as well)

oh and the gauge also can change 7 colours or so but not backlit, el light up

nice

so yeah obviously if a few are interested i can try and get a better price. or something

hang tight for pics.

any questions post up...so I can ask

nup dude you are in no luck at all dan,

its a 52mm gauge that has a gauge cup that it fits into and mounts separately onto the pillar

i will c if he can order a 60mm one for you specially so it will fit.

strich

i can get the cup and the gauge for $65 for SAU guys, cos most peeps that buy stuff from him are N/A so they buy vacuum gauges which means boost gauges will just sit there.

the gauges are not EL

they are LED

8 or 9 colours

3 blues, purple, yellow, red, green, white (and something else)

the baby blue colour with the white face gauge looks just like the el blue colour

so will still fit in with the theme

Can get the gauge for $50 and the cup/mount thing for $15

mount looks like this http://www.pbase.com/image/24383927 or the a pillar pic here if the first link doesnt work http://www.pbase.com/13_devil/my_skyline

note: this is not the same gauge

the mount has a carbon fibre look to it

anyone interested pm me please

apart from strich, dude for you i need to know when you want one

I will take pics of the colours tonight as Zanda will be getting his set tonight so I will be able to get pics.

EVERYONE: okay sorry fellas no pics, frankie left early yesterday and i got there to a dark closed shop

today though hehe

LAGWAGON:umm lagwagon if the gauge you are thinking of is swoosh brand then fiar enuff dude....i ran a swoosh gauge in my line for all the time i had it and it never skipped a beat. also dude they aren't the EL Autogage brand which i think is the one you are thinking of.

RC: the pod screws into wherever you want to screw it dude you can make it stand up etc on the sterring wheel surround if you want. I screwed it above the existing tweeter spot i think, i cant remember it was slightly rushed. cos i was sick of holding it up while trying to mark a spot, i should have taken the base off and then nicely marked it, but smeh

25GTT: I am going there around 10 so I will put the hard word on him to get you prices. fo shizzle!!

yeah, gauge looks pimp...albeit very very bright.

reads about 10% high by my estimations.... my previous one (VDO - which, incidentally lagwagon also wrote off) was less responsive but probably more accurate. both the vdo and the dyno at SST read 9 psi, whereas this one reads about ten....

...heck, for what I payed for it I'm not too fussed... down the track I'll get a spitfire one or something, but this is fine for the current application. still better that it's overconservative than underconservative...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
