Is there a write up for this somewhere? I've tried searching with no luck. I would like to put a gauge in one of my center vents on the dash. Thanks

You can buy the 2 5/8" gauges and they fit perfect or you can buy an adapter (Ithink from Speed Inc.) and it allows you to use the 2 1/16" gauges.
I did this a while back in my 94 Formula and it was easy. You just have to remove the Vent, and you'll have to remove the trim piece around the stereo and possibly the 1 under the steering wheel so you can get a power source from the fuse box. Once you feed the wires through, there is an opening in there where you can feed the wires werever you need to run them to. It's pretty simple really!
Good Luck

And do a search you might find some writeups about it. Or look in the appearance and detailing section.

if you use the 2 1/16" gauge, you will need an adaptor. as stated above, speedinc.com and 6LE offer an adaptor. I followed this writeup when I installed my aeroforce in my center vent.

edit: if you choose this method, be VERY CAREFUL when removing and inserting the adaptor into the vent ring. my ring shattered into 3 pieces upon second trial fit. glued together and installed, you cant tell tho. The plastic gets very brittle over the years.

are 60mm doable with a little trimming?

2 5/8 fit in mine and was tight enough that it never moved. Just drill a small hole to run the wires out. Very easy

What gauges get wired where? I wouldn'y mind doing thins, but when it comes to wiring the gauges I really don't know ****..

Z500HP

I never got an answer but is it possible to make 60mm gauges work?

shorty(98TA)

what guages are you buying that are 60mm? the two most common sizes are 2 1/16in(52.4mm) and 2 5/8(66.7mm) not including tachs

Z500HP

I just like the look of the 60mm gauges. I want to run 2 EGT, Oil, Water, WBO2, Fuel. I know its over kill but I like to monitor my motor.

I guess they will fit. looking at a measurement converter, 60mm is 2.36 inches. Looks like the 60mm is between the two common 2 1/16 and 2 5/8. So you may need an adaptor of some kind as the 2 5/8 (65mm) fit tightly in the vent.

monitor away man. i was just curious what brand guages they were cuz i did a quick search and didnt find any 60mm guages

Z500HP

Blitz, Defi, Prosports, Greddy, Apexi, Automeater

How have you never head of a 60mm gauge? 52mm and 60mm are the 2 most common sizes. Pods come in 52 or 60mm.

shorty(98TA)

nope just 2 1/6 and 2 5/8 but all ive ever used was autometer. and im still not finding 60mm guages on autometers site.

my little brother got a WRX full of those kinda guages

Z500HP

I don't know what your objective is but it is not hard to find gauges that are in a 60mm size and if your "little" brother has "those" kind of gauges in his WRX then you already know there are 60mm gauges.

That's overkill alright.

shorty(98TA)

no had no clue they were 60mm was just being a smartass about the fact those are usually found in ricer cars. all in good fun to each his own

Z500HP

They may be in ricer cars but they are better than Autometer. I tried to find the article that put these gauges head to head and most were better than the Autometer but then again they are also $200+ gauges each.
