Speedhut 2-5/8″ 0-4.0 Bar Boost Gauge w/ Warning (R25-B8-REV)

Description

The Speedhut 2-5/8″ 0-4.0 Bar Boost Gauge w/ Warning (R25-B8-REV) is a vital instrument for any turbocharged or supercharged vehicle, providing accurate and real-time monitoring of intake manifold pressure. This metric gauge allows drivers to observe both positive pressure (boost) generated by the forced induction system and negative pressure (vacuum) present during engine idle or deceleration. Equipped with a high-performance, 3-wire military-grade transducer, this gauge delivers reliable readings crucial for optimizing engine performance and preventing potential damage from overboosting. The integrated warning light adds an extra layer of safety, alerting the driver if the boost pressure exceeds a predefined threshold. With its clear 2-5/8 inch display and included installation hardware, this Speedhut gauge is a practical and essential addition for enthusiasts and performance drivers alike.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Accurate Pressure Monitoring: Provides precise readings of both boost (0-4 Bar) and vacuum, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the engine’s pressure dynamics.
• High-Performance Sensor: Utilizes a 3-wire military-grade transducer, ensuring accurate and dependable pressure readings under various operating conditions.
• Overboost Protection: Features a built-in warning light that can be set to alert the driver when a potentially harmful boost level is reached, helping to prevent engine damage.
• Metric Measurement: Displays pressure in Bar, a standard metric unit, offering clear and consistent readings.
• Easy Installation: Designed with a standard 2-5/8 inch size and includes necessary wiring harnesses and a pressure sensor for straightforward installation.
• LED Backlighting Compatibility: Comes with a power and lighting harness suitable for LED-lit gauges, likely allowing for customizable illumination.

HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Gauge: Choose a suitable location on your dashboard or in a gauge pod and drill a 2.67-inch (68mm) hole. Secure the gauge in place using the provided mounting hardware.
2. Install the Pressure Sensor: Locate a suitable vacuum/boost source on your engine’s intake manifold. Install the provided pressure sensor at this location, ensuring a proper and sealed connection.
3. Connect the Wiring Harness:
   • Connect the 3-wire cable from the pressure sensor to the corresponding terminals on the back of the gauge.
   • Connect the power and lighting harness to the gauge’s power and illumination terminals, and then connect the other end to a suitable power source (typically 12V switched) and ground in your vehicle.
4. Set the Warning Light (if applicable): Follow the gauge’s instructions to set the desired boost pressure threshold for the warning light. This often involves a button or dial on the gauge face.
5. Verify Operation: Start your vehicle and observe the gauge readings as the engine idles and when under boost. Ensure the warning light functions correctly when the set pressure is exceeded.
