I was wondering if anyone has put a boost gauge where the "Lancer" symbol thing is, by the gas and temp gauge. I found this thread and nothing happened with it: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...t+gauge+lancer

 

i would love to see someone try this, it cant be that hard.

 

anyone else have any idieas? how about one that looks more stock then those ones?

 

i think evo dave could handle the task at hand, hes the evil genious

 

I agree that'd be really awesome to put a boost gauge there but that is a really small spot

 

think a 52mm one would fit? looks like it would. has anyone actually done this though kuz i want to see some pictures.

 

I have thought about putting an oil temp gauge in there....

 

agree! If someone has, please post some pics!

 

up

 

i think that is one of the best ideas i have seen on where to put a single gauge that anyone on here has thought up want to see someone with pictures that had the ball to do this.

 

uhm... you can do it... however you can only do it with an spa or similarly thin gauge. the spa is very very thin about .75" thick. that's the amount of clearance you have back there... unless you wanna do some cutting but i haven't gotten a chance to look, it may not be cutable.

the other thing is you have to use an spa gauge because the bezel is removable... you actually place the gauge behind the socket, not in it. which is another reason you need a totally thin gauge. the downside? no sweeping stepping motor type gauges because those usually come wtih some thickness, plus fancy pants gauges have thicker wires and you need to think of more clearance to be able to snake those wires back there. for the gauge cluster that is in the link above you see the guy actually had to chop off the regular wires to snake things around in the rear.

 

before this thread dies competely. anyone else got ideas or input?

 

i was gonna do it, but there are lights around that lancer circle oil/doors/etc..

 

does anyone have an extra guage cluster to test on?

 

dont let this thread die. someone needs to try this, just not me because i tool savvy as a two year old. id love to see it done though. i hate that stupid lancer thing. they could of at least changed it to say "evolution"
