Description:
The EL II System Meters are the newest addition to the EL Meters lineup. The 60mm System Meters utilize a main control unit which constantly monitors the movement of all of the gauges. The control unit can activate the memory replay, warning, and peak hold functions with just one touch. The synchronized memory playback function was designed exclusively so that drivers did not need to individually start each meter before a race. A high speed CPU processor ensures accurate monitoring every time.
The main control unit can accommodate up to 6 meters. This gives the user unprecedented flexibility to decide what type of meter to add and how many. All meters come with a multi angle stand to allow easy reading from any vantage point. Since the main processor is not inside of the meter itself, A'PEXi engineers were able to slim down the meter casing so that it can be mounted virtually anywhere inside the cabin.
The high speed control unit processor also eliminates excess wires between the meter and unit. The EL backlit face uses a fresh new design that is easy to read.

Q: How do you install gauges?
A: Some gauges are electrical while some are mechanical. Electrical gauges use sensors that have to be installed, while mechanical gauges rely on hoses for feedback. All gauges must be wired up for lighting within your vehicle.
Q: Why buy gauges?
A: Gauges can give you the warm feeling of knowing that your engine is healthy and warn you when it isn't. The main gauges that help you monitor the health of any high-performance engine would be the basic gauges, such oil pressure, oil temperature and coolant temperature. Aside from that, they give your car that custom race look.
Q: How do I install a tach in a car that did not come with one? How difficult is it?
A: A tachometer is a great instrument to have in your car. Monitoring your engines RPM will help you shift at the appropriate time to gain the best performance or even better gas mileage. Most aftermarket tachometers only have 3 or 4 wires that need to be connected for operation. A main power wire that gets connected to a 12 volt ignition source, a ground wire, a tach signal wire that connects to the coil or the designated signal wire in your cars wiring diagram, and sometimes a wire to run the light inside the tach for night time use, which can be connected to the same power source as your other dash lights. If your car did not come with a tach, but it was an option for your specific model then there is a good chance the wiring is already in place to run the tachometer. It is best to purchase a factory service manual and carefully study the wiring schematics to determine if the wiring is there or not. The only tools you will need for this wiring job are a pair of wire cutters, a pair of wire strippers, a good pair of wire crimpers, some crimp-on style electrical connectors and a little electrical tape. While this is a pretty simple job, if you are not comfortable using these tools it is best to seek professional help.
If you are trying to install a late model gauge cluster, including a tach, into an older model car that did not have one the process is a little more complicated. You will need the wiring diagrams for both the donor vehicle and the car you are installing the gauge cluster in. You will then have to carefully trace and mark each wire to determine what it is for. Finally you connect the appropriate wires together (temp gauge to temp sender wire etc.) and carefully tape off any wires that are unused. Because modern cars use have varied computer controlled components it is not always possible or compatible to swap gauge clusters so it is important to research the subject for your specific model before taking the plunge.
Q: What are the different types of gauges available?
A: There are dozens of gauges available which monitor all types of engine performance. Some common ones are air/fuel ratio, oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, fuel pressure and nitrous pressure gauges. Several more are available, so check our product pages to get more details.
Q: Do gauges work on any vehicle?
A: Gauges are universal and can be mounted virtually anywhere in any vehicle. Gauge pods are usually used to house these aftermarket gauges within your vehicle.
