ChoCCo Member 68 Member For: 17y 2m 9d Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted 18/12/08 05:05 AM Share Posted 18/12/08 05:05 AM (edited) I wanna fit 3 gauges.. ive bough pole positions' tripod and 3 stepper motor gauges (Boost, Oil Press, Water Temp) and I rang a couple auto elecs and they had minimal clue how to install them (weird since its kind of in their trade).. Autobarn are the only people who have any idea but they want to charge me $90 per gauge + extras for the temp and oil press = $350+ does anyone know a place in Melb where I can get them fitted cheaper or anyone here wanna help me out who has done b4 and ill fix you up $$? (im in the northern suburbs)cheersedit: its a BA.. lol Edited 18/12/08 05:06 AM by ChoCCo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52648-fitting-gauges/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

01txr Member 861 Member For: 18y 4m 9d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 08/04/09 05:06 PM Share Posted 08/04/09 05:06 PM What people need to concider is:Some gauge setups can be more exspensive than others pending type of gauge podand gauge being used.Eg Autometer Cobalts into Tripod require cutting down of mounting threads and manualgauges having hose lines require some clearancing mods to the tripod internally.Oil pressure gauges also require a extra fitting from the engine and 2 small fittings at the gauge.Monitor style gauges Like my PLX AFR/Lambda have a senor box, control box and remote that allneeds fitting within a certain distance from each other as well as a bung welded in the exhaust and o2sensor being fitted.Etc EtaSo that is why some gauges cost more to fit then others but some of those prices above are waysteep.I would say for a straight fit hook up around $150 to $200 maxA complex setup up to $500 max.
