Speedhut 2-1/16″ 0-45 PSI Boost Gauge w/ Warning (R2-B5-REV)

Description

The Speedhut 2-1/16″ 0-45 PSI Boost Gauge w/ Warning (R2-B5-REV) is a vital instrument for monitoring the performance of turbocharged or supercharged engines. This gauge provides accurate real-time readings of both positive pressure (boost) and negative pressure (vacuum) within the intake manifold, allowing you to keep a close eye on your engine’s health and performance. Equipped with a reliable military-grade pressure transducer and a user-configurable warning light, this gauge helps prevent potential engine damage from overboosting. Its standard 2-1/16″ size ensures compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket gauge pods and mounting solutions.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Dual Functionality: Measures both boost (positive pressure during forced induction) and vacuum (negative pressure during idle and deceleration), providing a comprehensive understanding of intake manifold conditions.
• Accurate Readings: Utilizes a high-performance 3-wire military-grade pressure transducer to deliver precise and dependable pressure measurements.
• Over-Boost Protection: Features a user-settable warning light that alerts the driver if the boost pressure exceeds a predetermined safe level, helping to prevent engine damage.
• Easy Installation: Designed as a 2-1/16″ (54mm) gauge, it fits standard gauge openings. The included wiring harnesses and pressure sensor simplify the installation process.
• Clear Visuals: The LED illumination ensures excellent readability of the gauge, day or night.

HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Gauge: Secure the 2-1/16″ gauge in your desired location using a compatible gauge pod or mounting solution, ensuring the 2.10″ (54mm) hole size is appropriate.
2. Install the Pressure Sensor: Locate a suitable port on your engine’s intake manifold or a designated boost reference line. Install the included 100 PSI pressure sensor at this location.
3. Connect the Pressure Sensor Wiring: Using the provided 3-wire pressure gauge wiring harness, connect the pressure sensor to the back of the boost gauge. Ensure correct wire connections as per the gauge’s wiring diagram (refer to the manufacturer’s instructions if available).
4. Connect the Power and Lighting Harness: Attach the 3 ft power and lighting harness to the designated power and ground connections in your vehicle’s electrical system. This harness will also power the gauge’s LED illumination.
5. Set the Warning Light (if applicable): Some Speedhut gauges allow you to set a specific boost pressure level at which the warning light will activate. Refer to the gauge’s instructions on how to program this setting.
6. Monitor Readings: Once installed and powered, the gauge will display real-time boost and vacuum readings when the engine is running. Observe these readings to ensure your forced induction system is operating within expected parameters.
