Hey SAU.

Before you flame me you might like to know that I have spent an entire day searching google, and I even went through every single DIY on this forum and found nada.

For a R33 GTR

All I would like to know is, can I buy a aftermarket boost gauge and use the stock hardware and then mount it in the stock position?

If this is possible what gauge would I need to utilize? i.e defi, blitz and is the gauge 52mm?

Thank you all

I don't see why not...

Many ppl have replaced the stock Boost Gauge with an aftermarket one in the stock position.

I assume it is just a matter of removing the stock one out and connecting up the aftermarket one and putting it back in.

Just measure the diametre of the stock gauge and find an aftermarket one with the same / similar measurements.

I have an aftermarket boost gauge, but is mounted behind the steering wheel.

And all there is, is just an air hose (to read boost pressure) and a electronic wire to tap in to the wiring / light electronics so when I switch on my lights, the boost gauge lights up aswell.

You would be able to mount it in the stock position for sure, but I don't know about using the stock wiring and sensor if that's what you're asking? I doubt the stock wiring harness will plug into any aftermarket gauges, and the stock sensor is notoriously inaccurate. Wiring is very easy anyway, why use 15 year old wiring and sensors when you can get brand new stuff with the gauge you buy? Takes an hour to install neatly.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
