60mm gauge pod [Merged 8-8]

[Red97Eclipseboy]

Yes, you can. I did it, it's easy.

[g0tEclipseD]

what did you use to do it? a Dremel?

[g0tEclipseD]

i emailed lotek (gaugepods.com) and they said that it could NOT be done. Do they understand what I mean when i say bore out the enterence to fit a wider gauge?

what gauge pods did you use?

[98RedGs]

I sold a lo-tek pod to l2rtsiawd that was bored out to 60mm on all the pods holders (3) and it was fine for the boring. Just get you a small Dremel and try it with the gauge in hand and bore a little then try a gauge and so on and so on. Till you get it bored out to your liking.

i just had to do that with to make my greddy egt fit. just use a dremel. its a tight fit and i cant get the gauge to go all the way back but its close enough

Did your gauge fit flush and go all the way into the pod? or did it stick out the end a bit.

im worried i can bore the entrance to the pod out a bit to make it enter it but it wont go in all the way.

[98RedGs]

It's really close so I would have to say "yes" the gauges will go all the way in but you may have to check the rear of the gauge or if it has those long |_| metal bolt's coming off the back of them they will HAVE to be cut off.

Just bore it out and fit the gauge.
Or either sell the pod and just buy a 60mm pod, if you're honestly worried about it that much.

who sells 60 mm pods? ive looked everywhere.

ive also read reviews about the lotek gauges that say they have been bored out to 60mm to fit APEXi gauges. Are the gauges the same width for a greddy 60mm as an apexi?

60mm is 60mm either way you look at it. Dosen't matter if there apexi's or greddy's. Only diff I know of is the ring around the gauge bezel.

Halfway down you got the option for 60mm's, that should be fine. If all else fails just email there customer service.

[g0tEclipseD]

Its for a 1g.

and some gauges are longer/deper (?) than others whether they have the same circumfrence or not...

You will honestly have to get someone that has the gauge and compare them. Or go look on the manfacturers website and read the specs on the gauge itself. Or find someone that ran/runs the 60mm gauges you want and ask them how/what they did.

[g0tEclipseD]

OK. Im looking for a DUAL 60mm gauge pods for my 1g. I have the 60mm greddy peak/hold gauges

I emailed Lotek (gaugepods.com) and they said they cannot be bored out to 60mm (even though tons of people have done it) The only thing Im wondoring now is: is the greddy gauge too long to fit in the pod? Will it go all the way in?

Is anyone here running 60mm greddys in a 1G dual gauge pod from lotek or another company? or can someone point me in the right direction?

thanks

[xPRSRIZDx]

i have apexi 60mm gauges in my car. The pods had to be bored out but they did indeed fit (mine are in a triple A-pillar pod, not sure what company). they weren't too long either. Not sure how similar greddy and apex gauges are, but mine fit fine.

[g0tEclipseD]

how long are the apex gauges?

who did you get your pod from?

[PokinatchaPunk]

Yeah just like the subject says...I've been searching for full(fills up the entire pillar) dual 60mm gauge pillar....no luck Only see them in triple.... Has anyone have a solution.
So far the only options are...
A) Buy third gauge....eck. Boost, EGT, and what?
B) BUy a dual 52mm pillar and dremmel it out....


Any guesses?

[midnght]

I vote for B

That is what i have in my car. I have an autometer boost gauge (52) on the top and a Greddy EGT (60) on the bottom. The dremmel took care of the EGT and it looks great becasue the lip on the greddy covers the ruff edges. Also used some sand paper to smooth it out.

[ColonelOdem]

Which site had the tri-guage pods? they were like really cheap. And I have a 1g so I need the special one.

IMO dual 52 and drem. or just dual 52 boost and egt

or if you run a tri. pill. boost
EGT
Fuel pres.

[iceman138]

I bought the Autometer dual pod and actually widened the openings by carving the plastic away with a sharp knife. A dremel might tear the plastic away uncontrollably if you're not careful.

[TargeT]

Ive got a 1st gen tallon, and like 600 dollars in 60mm gages, but NOTHING will hold them!

anyone know where i can find an Apillar with 2-3 pods for 60mm gages? even the vent delete with 60mm size would work.. I just want to be able to use these badboys

[90CherryTSI]

just like you would an engine. Just be careful. If you want to know where to just buy them...

I tryed this before, 8mm is actualy a LOT of material, the two pilars that i tryed to bore out i ####ed up and they cracked open

in general they dont come with enough material to bore out
