Hello fellow teeners,
I'm currently building a resto mod 914 with a turbo powered ej20 engine and trans. I got me a 930 turbo tach and have my eye on a triple gauge from NHS. I also am planing on having the gauges illuminate in red. I was wanting to know if anybody here is using the 911 VDO electronic speedometer or anything that would match oem style VDO gauges? I was considering speed hut speedometer but I am afraid their gauge lighting will not match up with what I am looking for (a look of matching set). any suggestions? Pictures are appreciated as well. Also will the pickup signal from the Subaru trans work on the 911 gauge and be accurate? Thanks' Al |

Based on the info provided I found this converter, sounds like a good alternative. the cost is a bit high ($345 plus tax and shipping) but not as much as 911 electronic speedo with speedo sensor calibrator. (roughly $700. $600 for electric 911 gauge and $100 for the calibrator). I like the look of the speed hut gauges. very close to OEM look in a way. speed hut GPS gauge is a nice alternative @ $280. I am curious to see how speed hut gauges illuminate at night verses OEM VDO gauges.
has anybody mixed and match the lets say VDO oem and speedhut? if so please lets see what it looks like when illuminated!!! (FYI... OEM look triple gauge from Palo Alto Speedometers is $695 + T&S and the Quad gauge from NHS is a whooping $1900 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) can't find anyone else that makes quad gauges.) thanks for all your input. Keep them coming (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Al Timothy, I like your set up on illumination changing colors to red. Can the color change occur at a different rpm, lets say 5000 rpm? |
