I'm thinking of making a custom guage set up and wanted to see if anyone has done something similar.

Basically, I want to center a large tach. Have fuel gauge, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, boost and wb/o2 all in there as well. Using Autometer gauges.

Anyone done soemthing like this and have photos to help out with ideas?

For the money couldn't you just buy a nice digital dash? Its what everyone seems to use in their race cars.

That seems hard to read

Building a dash would cost maybe 400$. How much is a decent digital dash? I would rather have one like that but they seem quite expensive?

like 1k-1200 bucks for that particular one. Megasquirt can also output to a touch screen display, food for thought.

You really think you can get 8 autometer gauges plus whatever custom piece of (presumably fiberglass) for 400 bucks? Not trying to shoot your idea down, i'd gladly pay 400 bucks for that kind of custom dash.

I already have a few of the gauges. All I need is Tach, fuel and oil pressure.

and I have some old carbon fiber sheets here at home.

I recommend the PLX DM-100. Multi readout and alerting all in one. Reduce your gauge spam.

Put the boost and WB side by side if you do it. It might even be easier to use these. http://www.vgauges.com/catalog/index...835ba06ddd7fb3

I have this pic from a while ago, when I was considering the same thing. I don't know who's it is but I like it! See attached pic...

Your centered tach idea is great IMHO, i'd do that and run the vehicle speed off my AEM.
