Looking to replace the oem gauges on my IX. Cant find any that are that small. Anyone else trying to do this or know where to go?

 

buy a center gauge panel from gruppe-s or something so you can work with 52mm or 60mm gauges and then relocate the radio down to the oem gauge location

 

Autometer makes a three gauge panel for the upper radio spot. Buy it from any Autometer dealer.

I relocated my MR radio to the bottom with the radio relocation kit, and installed Autometer Sport Comp II gauges up top in the radio slot with the Autometer panel. Looks great. EGT, oil press, boost

I have in hand the Trustz black face/ white letter factory dash replacement faces ( illuminated ) so i can actually read the speedo and tach gauges at dusk LOL.

See my thread in this section. I will post pics, including the gauge panel this weekend.

I'm considering the Autometer 3-gauge upper panel. Please post pics of yours.

Thanks in advance!

 

I bought the omori 45mm gauge and replaced my stock boost gauge, you have to trim it a little to make this fit, but its easy and looks good..

 

That omori is exactly what i want to do. How long did that take you?

 

What kind/color back lighting does that have?

 

Sorry guys forgot about this..

Took about 20min to do since everything was there, thing that took the longest was makeing the hole bigger..

As far as color i bought the full color one.. This is were i got it

 

nice

 

Heres a quick question for you, how about if you have the NON MR version that doesnt have any boost gauge or any gauges there at all? I am really torn on rather I want gauges on my left pillar vs radio area. Also looking into changing the stock gauges in my dash...

 

I feel that the radio area its kinda hard to be going fast and look at them, while the left pillar where u can see them easily. It all depends on your style

 

agreed I think pillar and maybe the steering wheel maybe

 

Other than the trimming, is the Omori basically a plug and play replacement for the stock boost gauge?

 

yeah, i'm in the same situation. i also prefer them on the pillar but i don't want to draw any more attention to the car than it already gets... for that reason alone i think i'll be relocating my radio to the bottom area and putting gauges in its place. may be something to consider.

 

Has anyone considered doing the following: Replacing the stock MR gauges with the guages from Amori and keeping it in the same stock location. Then you move the boost guage to the column pillar, and put an oil pressure gauge where the stock boost guage use to be.
