60mm AFR Gauge - "Gauging" Interest Options

[jbell959]

As some of you may know, I build an 80mm custom AFR gauge as a clock replacement for 911s and recently someone asked me if it was possible to build a 60mm version. I was able to fit the main board and stepper movement in a 60mm case. This is just a prototype, but it does appear that with a little work, I could make these. It would require a 60mm temp or volt gauge as the donor to get the case, face, and needle. I don't yet have an estimate on the cost, but I wanted to see if there would be any interest before I spend more time on it.

Like all of my other AFR solutions, this gauge would work with most wideband controllers including but not limited to AEM, Innovate, PLX, and 14Point7.

Sorry for the blurry picture!

Nice option! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

What would be incredibly awesome would be a Cylinder Head Temperature gauge with a nice scale span (250-450F) like the 60mm MBZ outside temperature gauge (picture below). I have been thinking about how one could be transformed to achieve this.




Or use a cheap K-type TC reader board that puts out 0-5V and convert that 0-5V into some scale using a VDO movement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Yes, I'm a buyer on the AFR gauge and Montreal's idea is kick ass as well. I'm planning on re-doing my center console specifically to include both AFR and CHT.

These would allow me to reuse my existing console plate without any modification at all. Awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

I have already purchased a non-console OP/FL multi gauge (new!) to open space on the center console.

Bet you'd sell the crap out of both of those gauges, and I believe the core gauges needed are not real expensive. Blown up cores should suffice.

It would be way cool to have what appears to be a factory installation of these two gauges...

Just had another thought! I bet the air-cooled 911 crowd would be hot for the CHT gauge as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
