You should be able to work out if they are wide or narrow by the price paid as a trader or retailer.
£45 would indicate Narrow, £150 would indicate Wide (this would have to include a wideband probe).

They're now in the East Mids depot

Looks like they'll be out for delivery on Monday so as soon as I get them I will be taking pictures and posting them up.

Is there a way I can power them up safely without trying them in the car? May not be able to get my normal garage to fit them and do a demo video so thought it'd be quicker if I can do another way?

going by the pic on the first page im sure these would have to have a defi style control unit to save the peak settings etc as theres nothing on the gauge that would allow this to be done

If they are as cheap as the prices mentioned on the first page of this thread then I doubt they will have any sort of controller. They do have peak values though so for the price they seem good.

How exactly do you access the peak values when there are no buttons on the gauge??

Not sure myself to be honest mate - hence why I'm waiting till they arrive and then taking pictures of everything etc.

They are compatible with defi controllers so maybe some of the 'extra' features are to be used in conjunction with those?

You dont happen to have or know where i can get a Genuine 60mm Amber BF Oil temp gauge do you, Not too bothered about the sensor or wiring just need the gauge first. Tried everywhere with no luck

Ok peeps - the gauges are here and look identical to the Defi CF series.

I am going to try and power one up myself and take a video etc.

On first looks like does seem that for recording and playing back of data you need the Defi type controller (these are compatible with that) but I've emailed the supplier asking if there's something I've overlooked

Will keep everybody posted.

I have turbo boost, oil temp, oil pressure and AFR guages fyi - all come with the necessary fixtures and fittings and can be mounted without pods (include visor and screw bracket for direct installs)

Ok - apologies for the crap pictures but have just fitted one quickly and very roughly.

Don't have a pod as yet so it's just sitting in my drinks cup holder







YouTube video showing the startup sequence etc:

http://youtu.be/lt4spfDCHq8


The gauge has the user definable colours for both day and night modes, recording of peak value and also driving any additional warning lights.

The only minor issue is that there appears to be a logo that's been hidden from the face (my guess is a defi one) - I had to look very hard to see it - just wanted to be honest with people. My mate pointed it out to me

I have the following available (all 60mm):

AFR gauges (only 2 of these)
Oil Pressure
Oil Temperature
Turbo

£45 + postage - may be able to get cheaper postage if you buy a few.

I am trying to get a hold of some pods but this won't be for another few weeks.

Jai

ScrappyDoo - They can be mounted straight to the dash - holder etc included or failing that obviously pod mounted mate

Gaz2293 - pics of rear below and also a quick picture of the install guides.

Oil Temp is in Degrees Celsius

Subzerokent - if you mean the sensors etc then yes - everything is included mate

For those who've not looked at the video - these gauges have a full sweep and record your peak value and you can access it again by pressing the button on the face.
