I have gotten pretty far in the wiring of the car and I am now at the point of figuring out which wires I need to run for the gauges. Yes, I know this is a 912 but since it will have a type-4 engine I need a CHT gauge. I have the combo oil temp/pressure gauge as you can see in the picture. I also have a boost gauge for the turbo side of things. I was thinking of dumping the oil level indicator in the far left gauge since I am not running a dry sump and therefore do not have a external oil tank. Does anyone know if there is a CHT gauge that I can get custom fit in there by Palo Alto Speedo?
I also have another tach that is the 930 style with the boost gauge in it, I could have them redo that for another gauge also. I wonder if it would be possible to integrate a air/fuel ratio gauge in there? I have seen people put volt meters in there, do you think that a volt meter is necessary? Share you ideas and show me what you got... -Britain (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Assembly/images/158_0003_JPG.jpg) This is the gauge that I want to change: (IMG:http://www.nhspeedometer.com/911/service_restorations/tank.jpg) Here are some gauges off Palo Alto Speedometer and Hollywood Speedo sites: (IMG:http://www.nhspeedometer.com/911/custom_design/8tachside.jpg) (IMG:http://www.nhspeedometer.com/911/custom_design/8tachclock.jpg) (IMG:http://www.nhspeedometer.com/911/custom_design/8tachface.jpg) (IMG:http://www.nhspeedometer.com/911/custom_design/whitedualgauge.jpg) |

Replace that huge boost gauge with a 3" Westach gauge cluster that has three or four gauges in it. Should be enough for anything you can think of. You could do CHT, EGT, volts, and manifold pressure all where the clock normally goes. Jake has one of these in his 912E that has right/left CHT, oil temp, and oil pressure.
I don't think PA Speedo messes with CHT gauges. |
