Show me your (52mm) gauge mounts

[DaveP]

I finally did some reading on the P3 gauge, and it looks like it's possible to add in an oil pressure reading via an electrical sender. This is promising.

This would mean I could drop that gauge in and install the pressure sensor on the Vanos banjo. Just need to find a way to configure it...

Dude watch the m539 resto video (https://youtu.be/FzIDIqXD0AE?si=LzmlXfHnCa2O1Kca) . You need an oil pressure sensor (the standard sensor is just a low pressure switch, not an actual pressure sensor). You don't need a new gauge to get oil pressure info - the gauge.s gauge will show pressure. Ditto temperature, but you shouldn't need to install a sensor, it should read from the oe sensor.

You obviously missed my post prior to the one you replied to, where I said exactly the same thing. The P3 gauge I've linked above is exactly the same sort of solution as the one Sreten has installed on his, but slightly neater. It's still not ideal, in that it doesn't have things like the ability to show multiple values or set alarms.

The one Streten linked gives the ability to show multiple values, but the lack of low pressure alarm is a bit of a fly in the ointment. I'll contact the developer and see what's possible with a bit of programming.

These were from Japan's legendary BMW tuner 3d design. I was one of very few at the time that invested in these as I wanted an OEM looking solution , specifically designed for the car. They were discontinued a few years later even back then around a decade ago it cost me 400 quid which was frankly insane!.

They were designed to work with stack gauges , which i went with the stack pro-stepp datalog range. with boost, oil pressure and AFR in the middle.

I'm sure they work for you, but they seem like a terrible solution if you're planning to drive the car in sunlight or with the roof off.

works really well for me and really work with the interior. Never had an issue with glare , also they gauges have LED colour warnings as you approach the set values so they are excellent and letting you know the engine values are where they are supposed to be. On top of that the seats are so low in the cabin the location is solid.
