Hi All

I want to install some aftermarket gauges but am unsure on where to mount them. Where have others installed them?

A piller - Guessing you can only install 2 and would it reduce visibility?
Drill into radio door but have to relocate radio
Drill into dash - scares the crap out of me.

Ideally i would like to run
Oil Temp
Oil Pressure
Air/fuel ratio
Boost

Is there a smarter option to possibly have a digital gauge that displays all the information?

Any information would be much appreciated

The a-pillar ones are pretty good - but finding pre fab one is hard - there was a group buy 6-7 years ago - mine is long gone. Had an oil pressure gauge and an AEM serial gauge .

If you get the slim digital gauges you can fit them in the door like the Ricks. I can't remember the make of the original gauges - Nordskog Street Series digital they were awesome - these look similar


Depends on the ECU you are running - but you can get a windows tablet or something - and fit a JDM bezel like this one. This is the one I prefered as it then gave you full access to the ECU too.

Problem with cobbling the dashboard is whatever you put in there is already obsolete.

I think I can see most of what you're interested in via a small iPad which can be mounted several places and not ruin the interior. My interface is via my FlashPro but ODB2 interfaces are common.

I like the idea of a tablet or larger screen, but with an already small cabin and nowhere to really mount it without cutting dash etc... think A-Pillar will be best bet.

I've gone on top of the dash for now in a small (dual) pod. Will post a pic later.

you can combine OT/OP in one gauge (spa do one) tho i went OT/CT which i may now regret...

i didnt bother with boost as i can check in logs but not seen any belt slip so far

i dont think odb2 works on your aemv2

AJ did the windows tab.. it does look cool

sos so an a pillar one but delivery is ££

Anyone have experience with GaugeART?

Expensive, but guess it combines a lot of gauges into one.

Assuming oil temp and pressure can be wired into the AEM EMS Series 2 any small tablet would be the best bet. Just need to plug it in as and when desired. Is there any Apps that work with the AEM to give a clean gauge like interface?

Look at the Modifry dash mount here - minimal amount of cutting and a nice neat install. The mount would easily work with a larger tablet - you just need the right Brodit mount - here's one for an ipad mini: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brodit-Passive-Holder-Swivel-Retina/dp/B00HVBC00E/ref=lp_1776802031_1_3?srs=1776802031&ie=UTF8&qid=1 499177266&sr=8-3 and here's the whole range: https://www.brodit.co.uk/

You can see my phone with lots of gauges showing (using Torque) in this video:

Thanks LG this is exactly what i would like.

Anyone know if there is some thing like the Torque app available for the AEM EMS?

Mr-T

I guess the question would be, what is needed to use a phone and app to read data from the ECU. To my knowledge, currently no apps to link up with the AEM.
