Gauge's

USDM-FG2 · 06-27-2007, 12:59 AM

I need some opinions, and i have some questions. I appologize in advance if this has been covered. I am looking into the AJP Dual Cluster for the center console. How would I plum the gauges to it and Also. I am looking at running something to monitor my Vacuum and the Oil Pressure.. Seeing as at times my idle jumps a little bit and I am always revving high and want to make sure my oil pressure is good.

I found on StreetUnit.com(a huge Mazdaspeed site) that they have a Pro Sport gauges really nice looking and cheap. There oil filter adapter is 33.99 and has 2 fittings on it for Oil Pressure and Oil Temp, and there Oil Pressure gauge with the sender is only 37.99. I would get those 2 most likely. But those come with there own pods and such.

But if I go with the AJP Cluster I would be looking at the AutoMeter Sport comp gauges (52mm) the vacuum pressure gauge is 50.00 and there oil pressure gauge is 64.00..

My question to you guys is do you thinks its worth it for the auto meter gauges? Also where would I tap into for a vacuum reading?(Duh a vacuum source) but where would it be located? Also where would be a good place to tap into for a power source to get power to the gauges?

Thank you.. and if you tell me to search ill lose my mind lol... we'' happy v-tec'n

DON'T BUY THAT CLUSTER. I waisted my money on it and didn't even install it. it is a simple piece of metal that is bent and two 52mm holes cut in it. You should look at procivic.com at this:

that is how I would set up my dash not with the AJP cluster

No that is SEMA car show. It is differently a custom piece. The car is the TIEN build SI I checked the TIEN website also but didn't find anything. But I am going to work on building me one out of fiberglass and see how it goes but I will keep you in the loop and if it works I might be able to make a mold of the mod piece. I also thought of carbon I found a websites that does custom work here is the links:

cool cool.. i was sitting in my car today just playing with stuff.. its so easy to route the wiring to the center (AJP Cluster) and to up by the Speedo, they whole pieace just pops right off. But would be nice is finding a steering column mount. like have two 52 gauges go off the sides just so you can still see the tach tho.. you know what I am saying?

the steering column mount is just a single pod that you screw into the column it is nothing fancy you can get one from procivic.com for 17 dollars
