Im looking to get geuges for my bugeye sti, but need green backlit are Glowshift and prosport any good, whats the best for the price??

 

[FONT=Arial Black][SIZE=3]i`ve got prosport 1`s they can be white or green

 

Thanks jaymaxy,,very nice did you do them yourself mate.. was thinking of a centre pod's...

 

yeh did them my self pretty easy to do, was thinking about centre pod myself but did`nt know which 1 to go for has can be dificult too find to fit properly
got my A pillar pod off ebay .

 

Got Prosport in centre pod in my Hawkeye, white by day and green at night. Be selling the whole package soon.

 

Look good mate,,will your centre pod fit in a bugeye,,much you want for them bud,,,

 

I think the pod fits all newage (it is a scoobyworld one) be looking at £150 including the fitting kit for the oil pressure/temp.

 

if you decide to sell the oil gauges seperate drop me a pm please. if only i had waited a couple of weeks i would have had the complete set up off you.

 

What are the three guages mate, oil pressure obviously, what are the other two,

Cheers

 

oil temp and boost normally

here you go bud, i will be ordering 5 of them soon

 

i have got my vacuum gauge coming from them and will be ordering the others at the end of the month. cheapest i have seen the green/white combination anywhere.

 

Are these ebay ones real or cheap HK fakes? Seems a great price

 

Defi Link and Genome gauges both illuminate green

 

how will you be able to check if they are the real deal (apart from ask the seller)??? just so i can check mine before i order the rest.

 

i can safely say these are originals or the best ever dam copies i have ever seen.

 

the Prosport ones aren't expensive in the UK anyway, there's no reason for them to be fake

good gauges for the money though

 

just installed some Defi's in my Classic with matching green illumination








they did the same series of gauges with a white face, which would match even better, but they are rare as rocking horse poo and fetch top dollar

happy with the black faced ones though

 

the ones i ordered off ebay have really bad illumination, especially during the day. they are being returned and the super white/green are being ordered. according to the seller they are a new design and are dimmer than the previous gauges in the range. good price but you get what you pay for.

 

STRI DSD Clubsport are white and green.

 

Hey all. I'm on the verge of getting some gauges for my car.

I'm looking at the Prosport ones but have been told that the electrical ones ain't so good.

Guess the mechanical ones are better and easier to fit. Am I right?

 

If it's for a classic, full set of Defis on e-bay last night, boost, oil temp, oil press and control box. Search Defi.

 

just fitted a set of prosports. only took 2 hrs to wire the whole set and run all the wires though into the engine bay. just waiting for the oil temp and pressure adapter to come and will do the rest.really easy to fit although i did have some help initially from a very helpful chap who knows his stuff.
will get some pics on tommorrow.

 

If you can't stretch to Defis, the better Prosport ones are stepper-motor or electronic.

 

Oil temperature and pressure adaptor?

You HAVE put the sensors in the right place, haven't you.............?

 

I would love to be able to afford the Defi's and understand that they are probably the best. Also if you are getting guages you want them to initially warn you of upcoming problems which the DEFI's can do.

But I can't simply afford them. So is the stepper- motor or electronic know good?

I'm just on verge of ordering them, once I can get hold of the A-Pillar mounts.

 

Stepper-motor gauges as a general design are usually highly thought of for accuracy and durability, and there's no shortage of people on here and other scoob forums who seem very happy with the Prosport ones. I've got no idea about their electronic ones though - on paper they should be very accurate, but I don't have them myself. Your best bet might be to ask or look around on rs25.com or nasioc and see if anyone's got them on there.

 

not put the sensors in yet. trying to find where the 3rd cylinder bung is at the moment for the temp one , and i am waiting for the extra adaptor to come so i can still use the oil sensor that is already on the car for the pressure sender.. didnt realise that bit didnt come with the kits.

 

The 3rd cylinder bung is where you might expect it to be: on top of No3 cylinder, LOL
Look down in front of the turbo and intercooler. On top of the engine, driver's side, rearmost cylinder, is a flat bung about 25mm across with an 8mm hex hole in it. That's it.

And why do you want the old oil pressure sender to stay? It's set at around 14psi, or 1bar, if it gets that low, the engine is fekked anyway. Ditch it and go with the gauge.

 

mine is a non-turbo but i assume it is in the same place???? o6 hawkeye by the way.
wasnt sure if the oil light would come on if i took the sensor out so i opted for the safer option and brought the connector anyway. if i dont need it when i get them finished then i can always send it back.
