digital boost gauge

[meakin46]

anyone running a digital boost gauge on their sled? if so how do they work/ hold up in the cold?? also what brand?? any info would be great

id like to know as well

I asked about this a while back and got no replies.

Soooo,

I bought one, and am in the process of installing it. Went with an AutoMeter #6359, and a Carbon Fiber cup. Just gotta decide where to mount it.

I'll let you know how it works. (or not)

Digital Boost gauge

I am running a Autometer digital Vac/Boost gauge works very well bright red numbers no problems yet. Seal the face border with super glue to prevent condensation inside

Finally decided where to mount it.

Can't wait to try it out. It's super bright, even in the day time.

I had an Autometer Digital on my APEX with no issues. I wanted to buy a Hoyt Boost FX gauge recently, but I am not sure if they quit making it or what. It had boost and 2 EGT on one digital gauge.

how are they reading boost pressure? MAP sensor of some kind??


What happens is (on sealed liquid filled boost gauges) is that the internal pressure can make the gauge read incorrect, and you need to zero the gauge out, in the altitude before riding.

Boost pressure and MAP pressure are two diffrent things, boost is pressure above whatever atmospheric pressure is, MAP (manifold absolute pressure) is basically 14.7#'s (ideal atmospheric pressure or whatever the calibration is) plus boost in a sense is the same in design but you dont get 14.7lbs at 10K feet, MAP is calibrated to a set point. 02 or AFR gauges are the same as far as calibratiting them in diffrent altitudes.

sorry if this sounds confusing.

i believe they have a map sensor

Matty,

Great questions!

The AutoMeter unit I'm using auto compensates for elevation each time it turns on.

I bought the pressure transducer for my Avenger. It works great. Nice big display. Actually lots of data with the extended memory and all the other temp and tach inputs.
