Gauge Pods

[SlyCayer]

Hey,

New to the forum, I just bought a 2015 BRZ Aozora Edition and I looking at a turbo install from Full Blown, I want to install gauges, I cannot seem to find any gauge pods at a decent affordable price.

I am looking at installing a total of 8 gauges in total, so 3 in pillar, 3 in the passenger dash and 2 either column mounted or just above the middle vents?

I know that's a whole shit load of gauges, but I am planning on pushing the capacities of this car and want the most look on temps and etc.

I could remove 2 gauges(oil pressure and Pre-Post Intercooler Temp Sensors).

Have a good read.

I saw that, but so many options and none are really "buy online" type...

Most are too expensive, one of them is $295.00 for one pillar pod for 1 or 2.

I might have to the Universal way and mod that.

My bad, I did not read your OP says "reasonable price".....

Honestly there are none at reasonable price. Cheapest is universal and you make it to fit.

No problem, affordable would be $300 for all the pods I need, $300 for just one pod is a little out of budget...

I will probably make a custom gauge pod going all around the middle vents.

You don't need 8 gauges, haha. Get the AC vent gauge (P3Cars) and be done with it or at least cut that number in half.

Which 6/7 gauges are more important than oil pressure?

I know, but I am looking for the utmost information when I will be pushing the vehicle.

ft86speedfactory had some. Not sure if it's affordable according to your standards.

Torque is a decent compromise and could possibly reduce the number of gauges you'll need. The ECU has most of the data you want already, but the car just doesn't have a way to display it. I'm running Torque on a Galaxy Note I had sitting around after I upgraded to another phone:



The one major piece of data Torque will not give you is oil pressure, because this car does not have a real oil pressure transducer. The stock oil pressure sender only gives an on/off signal to the idiot light in the dash at some ridiculously low pressure when it's already too late. If you want oil pressure, you'll have to install a sender and separate gauge. (I have a gauge out of a crashed Beechcraft airplane that will eventually go in mine in place of that 1980s digital clock, whenever I get the time to install it.)

I have the Cravenspeed flex pod which looks okay but the right side one blocks stuff you may be interested in seeing like the coolant needle. It's 52mm and I use it for the AEM failsafe.

I have a Greddy Multi D/A gauge in my vent, it's 62mm and fits great. More of a DIY though. It also displays three different things at the same time on the gauge but has hookups for pretty much everything. They've discontinued the old model but you can still find them for sale, they said there is a new version coming out.

Take a look at what I did.
