Evo MR gauges

I wanted to know what size the stock MR gauges have.......since ima be tuned sooner or later im going to have to buy an air/fuel ratio gauge and i was thinking of jus replaceing all 3 MR gauges removing the battery gauge and putting the air/ratio gauge there and just buying one of these "Cyberdyne Blue Ice Plug-In Voltmeter Gauge" instead of the battery gauge , it plugs right into the ciggarete thingy (sorry didnt know the name)

In your guys opinion wich gauges are the best for there price that would fit in the same place the MR gauges fit (i looked up these gauges and there alot more expinsive then i thought)

Thnx

Either dremel the stock gauge holder to hold 52mm or buy a holder manufactured to fit (42 Draft designs makes one).

Honestly, I don' t know the exact mm measurement. But if you check out 42draftdesigns, they offer an almost stock looking replacement bezel that will accomodate a larger selection of gauges.

Lots of people prefer the Defi gauges but I think they are too expensive. You have to use a control module to run them. Just too much crap for a gauge...though they are very accurate. Another cheaper but well made option is stewart warner gauges. Really it's personal preference when it comes to looks. If you want amber backlighting to match the stock gauges, or if you want something like LED white to stand out more.

well there's a bunch of options. Check out autometers "cobalt" series gauges. They are blue backlight at night.

I personally like the look of the VDO gauges much better than Defi et al (more OEM) and the VDO gauges are top quality.

The 'temperature' gauge on the MR kit is Oil Temperature.
