These gauges are pretty common to put in engine bays. They have been around a long time. I wont say that I have never seen one go bad in my life, but its definitely not very common. I have had the same gauge in the same location on my 370z for roughly 3 years now. Photo attached. That was a custom fitting that we welded and machined on to just "get it done" on the spot those years ago. It has held up for me in daily driving conditions and pretty bad heat/humidity that we get up here. So while I cannot promise that the gauge will last forever, I can confidently say that chances are great it will last a very long time... and that if it does ever fail, they are very inexpensive to replace (about $25 retail).

It's look really cool but wouldn't it be best in the cabin so you can monitor it while driving when it would be most important? Hmm let me see what my fuel pressure is while idling................

You should be watching your A/F gauge in the car. I dont care if my boost goes up or down a little, I dont care if my FP goes up or down a little. When you are in the car, driving the car, there is nothing you can do to change any of it. The A/F is the end result and that is what you should be watching. FP is diagnostics and tuning, and it will rarely change what its doing from when the car was tuned or changes were made to the fuel system, unless something goes wrong.. which will show in your A/F, and then you will begin the diagnostics process which the FP gauge will aid you in, no matter where it is!
Yes it is convenient to have a FP gauge in the cabin if you wish to purchase one. I will gladly sell you one of those! They are quite a bit more expensive though (by the time you have the tap, the gauge, and somewhere to mount it). Personally, I dont desire one in my cabin... I dont have enough use for it and I prefer minimal clutter in the interior.

A fuel pressure gauge is a vital tool when tuning. If you are at 12psi at 7000 and your dropping fuel pressure before that then that $20 gauge can save you $10k in a new motor.

Thank god I have people always trying to tell me what I need to do and how to do it. It's not like I have only done this 4 times now and not payed a shop to do my installs in such.
I KNOW, I KNOW, already!!! Chill out man and worry about your own car. ![]() ![]() ![]() Quote:
