Question: What size guage needed for Drive Pressure?

[LBZrcks]

I'm looking to put a drive pressure guage on my truck and I'm not sure what the range should be. Will a 60 psi guage read enough?

Thanks

I would go with 100PSI just to make sure I have seen posts with people having over 70psi DP.

IF you can why not right?

I have a 100 PSI gauge for my drive pressure, I've had brief spikes over 70 some times when stomping it, so I'd opt for the big one.

That's what I thought thanks guys. It seems all the electronic guages cap at 60 psi.

People have been using the oil pressure ones Not sure if that is good or not but it seems to work.

Thanks I think the oil psi guage I looked at went up to 100psi so that would work. My other option I was looking at was a nitrous pressure guage that went up to 2000psi

if you ever saw 2000PSI in DP you would not have a turbo or a truck lol

You can also use electronic fuel pressure guages for drive pressure. Gets rid of the 'rattle' under acceleartion and they usually ahve an electronic sending unit. Of course this takes a bit more work to set up - and i only messed with it and fittings (had lotsa help from Larry) - and then switched back to the bullydog 100 PSI boost guage.

I do now have an extra 100 PSI electronic fuel gauge so plan to go back to the electronic version as the damn clicking gets annoying sometimes during heavy acceleration (flutter of the gauge).

You might try a Honeywell MLH100PGL06A, it has a range of range 0-100psi

Does PPE make a 100PSI Boost gauge?

Not at this time..

Any plans too? I really want a DP gauge but I want it to match my other PPE gauges. :hug:
