What gauges have people got in their 5's?
I currently have a boost gauge where the clock should be.
I was thinking of getting a water temp gauge aswel.

I have replaced the center vents on the dash with one of those chrome CGB 3 x gauge holders 9pain in the arse when sunny) I have a psi boost gauge, a dual oil pressure and water temp gauge, and the other I did have an XD-16 AFR gauge, soon to be replaced with EGT gauge.
a good water temp gauge is a good investment m8
check out the dual oil pressure/water temp SPA gauge ,thats what im using . ive also got the spa rev counter/speedo , and a dual boost /exhaust gas temp still to hook up .
AFR, water temp and oil temp:
I have 2x dual SPA gauges located on the A pillar. I have a boost/charge temp & oil pressure/water temp useful bits of kit but more to worry about!
Boost gauge, Water temp, Oil pressure
In the van i have boost & oil pressure. Might fit an oil temp gauge soon.
My gtt has boost, oil pressure & voltmeter.
i think id like an oil temp gauge in mine just to see whats going on , its running to cold i think , water temp never went above 70 , need to change the low temp thermostat me thinks just to allow the oil to get a bit warmer , normall running water temp should be in the 80's i think ??
Normal water temp during cruising is in the low 80s. Oil temp should be in the low 90s when cruising...Originally Posted by Mudslinger
I have a low temp thermostat and still have these temps, so I don't know why yours are so low. Where did you fit the water temp sensor? Mine is welded into the head...
the temp sensor is plumbed into the 1 of the pipes going to water pump ,
the way the water circuit is done is slightly diff to normal 5 ,but it just seems super cool , also having the seperate oil cooler helps keep the water temp down , the fan comes on about 86 but very rarley does it get that hot unless stationary for a lengthy time, so its something im going to look at soon , normally you wouldnt be complaining about a 5 gt turbo running to cold
Today i have been getting running temps of 62c coolant temp hasnt risen above 70 for ages because of the freezing weather!

these are in mine
Looks sweet
i got a
boost in a pillar
water temp
oil temp
volts
i got a few...
AFR, manifold boost and water temp on the rollcage a pillar bit
then carbtop boost, oil pressure and voltage in the clio centre gauge pod
Double din consols FTW, ps i have 2 for sale in the classifieds!
Boost gauge
Oil pressure/temp gauge
Volt metre
Will have an AFR gauge also at some point...
I dont know where to mount anymore gauges?
Cant say im a massive fan of pillar pods, but I dont want to remove my centre heater oulets. (excuse the red fleck, only temp) Any ideas?
Double din centre console, and then put 3 gauges in one of the din slots?
I've got on eof those too but stainless - but i've only got a boost gauge at the mo. Want to get an oil temp and pressure as well
put the gauges in ya cage
I spy a pillar pod on the passenger seat, markey!
Guess i could always paint it to blend in.
yeah, sold it on flea bay.. it was painted in bumper grey and matched the interior perfect!
in fact.. pic:
Nice one!
Was one of them universal jobbies?
That looks really good.Where did you get the polished stalks?yeah, sold it on flea bay.. it was painted in bumper grey and matched the interior perfect!
in fact.. pic:
yeah 2nd to that
them polished stocks are loveeeeeeely
if you dont mind, i`m gonna have to 3rd that...lov`in those chrome stalks, where did you get them?
member on here (i think) called big g... had em in my old car too.. they pimp! lol
pod was made from a universal one, os8472 actually made it, i just painted it grey
good place to put them would be in centre blowers as they allways blow cold anyway
bumpy bump bump
any of you fine chaps able to point me in the direction of those chrome stalks???
