Racing Gauges & Digital Dash Displays

Your engine coolant temperature and oil pressure is critical as an overheating engine or low oil pressure will cause damage. Having accurate racing gauges that are easy-to-read will help you keep tabs on your vehicle's vitals such as fuel level and electrical system voltage.

Along with a shifter, steering wheel, and other key interior components, the gauges help to customize the inside of your vehicle, providing the look you want. Whether choosing a classic set of gauges or a modern array of digital dash gauges, the inside of your car or truck can be customized to match your needs.

Depending on the application, the gauges needed in a race car can vary. However, there are several gauges that nearly every race car driver needs to understand the engine's condition at any given time during a race.

The best digital dash display depends on a variety of factors based on individual driver needs and preferences. These include the size of the screen that will need to fit in the vehicle dash as well as the visibility of the readouts on the LCD display monitor. In addition, options involving technology such as the ability to record data and the amount of memory it has, how many channels it has, as well as the sample rate, and the programmable ability that is included. All digital car gauge displays JEGS offers are made from high quality components and assembly, so the best digital gauge display is mostly determined by the builder's budget and preferences.

When installing gauges, the first step is deciding where to mount them, whether in, above, or below the dash, as well as on a panel. Next, the holes will need to be drilled or cut out if necessary for their installation. Depending on the gauge, it is held in place either by being wedged to the panel by a bracket on the backside and its bezel or another form of mount. Once the gauge is securely installed, it can be connected to the engine and vehicle electrical system. Each gauge has its own wiring and following the manufacturer's instructions will allow proper operation. Finally, the gauge can be tested to ensure it works correctly.
