Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

They look perdy, but how well do they work?

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

they suck, belive me

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

I would stick with AutoMeter.

They are fairly inexpensive, and work fine.

Of course, if you go over to Honda-Tech they will tell you to only use Greddy or Defi gauges. LoL...

In my experience there's no need to spend thousands on gauges in a street car, unless you are super mad tyte JDM y0!

I wouldn't go with any less quality than AutoMeter though.

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

my dilema is i already have 2 of them, A:F and boost

maybe i will just throw those in the civic.

I am looking for something for the 240.

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

A/F is useless, boost should be fine seeing as how it's a mechanical gauge.

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

I had the megan racing gauges for one week and threw it away got me some autometer now. Too cheap to be any good. Trust me

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

they are hot as ---- looking. whats wrong with them?

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

can't read the gauge during the day

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

i had a mechnical boost gauge that wasn't autometer, it read 18psi but felt slow as piss. changed to an autometer n it read only 4psi... which would u believe/use?

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

what if you wire the light always on

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

my autometer boost guage reads 10 vac with my car off. :-\ I've only had for less than a year.

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

A:F is not useless, i've got a WB to tune with, but it's big and ----. the A:F will tell me real quick if i am loosing fuel at WOT (dead injector, loosing fuel pressure, whatever).

I looked all through autometer's site, they don't have any usefull full-sweep electronic gauges, and I really don't like mechanical gauges or short sweep electronic.

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

i love when people ask opinions..and then decide to ignore or contradict all helpful info personally i'd go with autometer..but hey..it's your money

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

you do realize that those wideband gauges are made for narrow band o2 sensors? narrowband is useless. why didnt you buy a wideband with a gauge or just use some type of datalogging program to log what its reading. rather than going with a worthless gauge that just goes back and forth :-* . IMO waste of 50 bucks or how much that damn thing costs

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

I do have a wideband & laptop to use to tune with, the A:F gauge is just to keep up there while driving. It should read consistantly while in open-loop. If I see it drop lean sudenly I'll know to let off and check with a wideband before continuing. It's kinda hard to carry a laptop & convertor box everywhere with me, or to stick a laptop on my dash.

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

First I asked for facts, not opinions. I have a pair here, I know how they look, and how visible they are. Icould have been more specific in that I would like to know how consistant the temp and pressure gauges are.

I had a set of "3A racing" gauges that were withing 3% of snap-on gauges for temp & oil pressure, I wondere'd if the megan's would be of similar construction.

Autometer does not make anything to my liking, no full sweep electronic gauges except the nexus series, and those are all $150+ and need a controller.

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

can you wire the light to a switch so that they are only dark when the switch is on?

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

if you wanted to i suppose you could.

they have 3 lighting wires, positive, negative, and illumination (+12V to dim with headlights er whatever on)

Re: Anybody used the megan racing gauges?
 

i think im gonna buy 2 off ebay tonight; they're like 40 bucks each
