Another one interested in the new stepper motor gauges.

Elec. Oil pressure and temp to start...possibly boost as well.

BTW I'm glad you found these, I was almost going to buy GREDDY gauges which do match very well, but are in metric measurements and cost upwards of $200 per gauge. The only reason I hadn't bought them yet is the price is so insane I couldn't justify it yet. I WILL be buying these Marshall gauges, am very excited about the stepper motor with peak recall and warning features! Whether its the original SCX design or the new MINI design doesn't make a huge difference, I'm just glad its silver face with amber lighting!

 

Paul indicated they'd be ready mid to late June. I hope he checks out the interest here & gets moving on these.

 

I kept Paul apprised of this forum and of what I perceived as the interest in this area. However, I think the more people that contact Marshall expressing their interest can only help convening this message to them.

This is great stuff, thanks for doing all you have done so far.

Count me in as interested in a set of these gauges as a well. I have Auto Meters in one car and nothing in the other and I've been meaning to do it.

These look to be the ones!

 

Here is a link to the gauges.....

Sign me up, I have NEVER liked my dealer installed Boost/Volt gauges. These Stewart Warner gauges just do not match well at all.

This is an awesome option, thanks for the the find.

 

how much do these cost??

 

It is noted earlier in this thread. However those prices are current retail, so if a group buy takes place the prices will be lower.

 

Count me in for - Water temperature (electric)
- Oil pressure (electric)
But no chrome, pleaseeeeee

 

Just what I have been looking years for! I'm 100% in. The gauges as they are now... look great and I would buy them now. I could do with out the lighting around parimeter of the gauge. It is however much better then most that only have the parimeter lighting. Most gauges look good in the day but poor at night the ones that look good at night do not match in the day. These gauges look great both day & night. Knowing something thats going to look even better is so close makes me happy. I will buy all gauges they make to match Mini gauges.

 

30 psi a little higher then I need to read. I see they only have 30 psi vac/boost gauges on web site.

 

Good point on the Boost gauge. For reference, the Stewart Warner Gauge has '15' as the highest number printed with the tick marks only going up to 17.
So, a max of 20psi on these gauges would still be plenty more than we need.

 

In the pictures the light around the perimeter is actually a reflection off the chrome ring. I was doing a fairly long exposure when I took the image and the reflection is more pronounced. In real life they look much better.

 

I will ask if they can make it go only to 20 psi.

 

+1 on that, the RMW tunes for the R56 are bumping boost up to 16.5-17psi max. I'd still prefer the electronic boost gauge.

 

+1

 

Great and thanks, we might as well get them as good as possible.
For all of the Stewart Warner gauge faults, and there are several, they did get this part right.


Daytime they look OK, but at night they are horrible.


Back on the gauge scale. Think about it like an Excel graph. Do you want the Y-axis to go all the way up to 10K, when the data set you are plotting only goes to 100, no I don't think so, and the same applies here.

Lowering the max limit on the Boost scale will also rotate the '0' mark clockwise. On a guage that sweeps on both sides of '0', it is more natural to have '0' straight up (i.e. a dead North position). So the closer you get to that the better.

 

Paul confirmed that the electric boost gauge in the Mini style will be available with the rest of the gauges

And while it would be nice to have a 0-20psi scale on the boost gauge, I understand it'd also be a big undertaking to rework the internals vs. putting a pretty face on it.
mid-late June just can't get here fast enough.

 

Fingershooter thank you for clearing up that is reflections off the chrome ring.

I hope they are able to make a 20psi gauge. However as they only have 30 psi gauges on web site... I also think this would be much more work then they would want to do. They may be able to do this easy with a electronic boost gauge? They also could just leave the 22-30 marks off the custom Mini faces. Sure not the best option and it would not make the gauge sweep more or more acurate. It would give the illusion however that you can almost bury the gauge.

 

What is the best gauge mount for a mini with the chrono package. Would it be the cravenspeed flexpod? any pics?? I just want a single gauge (boost) on the righthand side.

 

So here is the response from Marshall regarding a 20 psi boost gauge:

I will check with our sender manufacturer, 20psi is not a standard range. If it is possible to make such a sender and the demand is high enough we would consider making a 30” – 20 PSI electric boost.

So there you have it.

 

I think it'd be a pretty unanimous vote for 30-0-20 on the gauge

Anyone running over 20psi on a Mini is going to be doing some heavy mods & probably looking for a much higher end set of professional gauges.

 

And some new pistons.

 

1st, I don't have an S so I don't care, BUT...

wouldn't a -30 psi be way out of range too? how far below 0 do you need?

 

Its not -30psi, is -30inHg which is actually -14.7psi or -1 bar. When you lift off the gas and coast in gear it is very easy to see this much vacuum.
