FWIW, the following is from the AEM UEGO manual on the specs for the Bosch UEGO LSU4.2 wideband sensor. It's supposed to be good for 80,000 KM, assuming you're not running too rich or burning a lot of oil, which would never happen with a rotary... ;^)

A replacement calibrated sensor is $79 on eBay.

Those Pineapple Racing dual EGT gauges appear to be standard aviation gear.

-Rob

Sensor Type: Bosch UEGO LSU4.2
Accuracy: +/- 0.7%
Exhaust Temp Limit: 1030C
Cable & Protector Sleeve Temp Limit:250C
Connector Temp Limit: 120C
Initial Warm-up Time: Less than 20 seconds
Weight: 80 grams
Heater Current: 1.2A at 12.0V (each sensor)
Mounting: M18 X 1.5 thread, Torque to 30 ft-lbs

Nominal Service Life:
80,000 km for Unleaded Fuel
50,000 km for Leaded Fuel 0.15g Pb/l
20,000 km for Leaded Fuel 0.40g Pb/l
10,000 km for Leaded Fuel 0.60g Pb/l


Notes:
The sensor contains a ceramic module and should not be subject to mechanical or thermal shock or it may be damaged. The sensor is not designed for operation on leaded fuels, doing so will dramatically shorten sensor life. Long term running in the rich region (Lambda < 0.95) will shorten sensor life. High exhaust temperatures (over 850C) will shorten sensor life. Engine oil consumption at a rate greater than 1 quart per 1,000 miles will shorten sensor life. With the UEGO Sensor installed, do not run the engine without power applied to the gauge.

look, all you need are the following

- oil pressure
- oil temp
- water pressure
- water temp
- EGT
- wide band
- boost
- exhaust temp
- outside air temp
- tranny fluid temp
- rear diff fluid temp
- blinker fluid pressure
- Tach
- speedo
- intake temp
- intercooler temp
- tire pressure (this requires 4, or 5 if you have a spare!)
- Voltmeter
- power steering temp
- fuel pressure
- gas gauge
- nitrous pressure


And i think thats all that are REQUIRED anything aside from those, you could prolly live without!

def the most important! you also need to monitor the flux capacitor's ionic frequency.

holy crap man... your work laptops have 3 OS's... all on the same comp?... surprised they dont have linux..


What i would like to do.. is replace the stock gauge cluster with a screen, and then plug in comp, and have a full digital readout of any guage you wanted... then theifes would look in your car, and see nothing out of the norm... and your gauges would just be black when your cars off... but when you turn it on...

at least thats what i would like to do.. or where the heater vents, radio all that is, replace it with a touch screen (done nicely) and then you can control heater controls, music, all by touch... that'd be good for a show car.

Hope this isn't to off subject.

If a person used electronic gauges fit in to the stock cluster, as mentioned before, could they use the stock harness for a connection? Even if one had to change the engine sensor and/or do some rigging with the factory connection to the gauge in the cluster

well i was under the impression that windows XP and 2000 were different in operating modes, ie looks.
didnt think that would make a difference on which Haltech it would use.
reason is i'd rather use the newest version as oppose to the earliers. lol.
