Someone mentioned these gauges to me a while back, and having never heard of them, (I assume not many people on this forum have), I looked them up.

www.prosportgauges.com

I was kinda suspisuous(sp?) of them due to their low price compaired to Defi, etc; and also having not heard of them until recently. I researched them a little bit around the net, and didn't find any bad reviews. It seems that they've been a hit with the 3000GT and WRX crew for a little while. I also stumbled accross a magazine that tested different brands' of gauges' accuracy, and Prosport actually did very well. (I don't remember all the specifics).

I've been looking for a set of gauges that would match the stock cluster decently well and didn't feel like breaking the bank for Defis or something similer, and I hate the way AutoMeters look at night.

So I bought a set

Performance Amber/White: boost, water temp, oil pressure, oil temp, and fuel pressure.

They came in today. The packaging looks really good, as do the gauges. I was pleasently surprised with their quality.



I was kinda antsy to see how the amber would match the stock gauges so I opened one up, and did a quickie wiring job.



I think that they match pretty well. The pic makes the gauge color look a tad more orange that it really is.

Overall I'm very pleased with these. They do the opening ceremony/gauge sweep, and have a blacked out face when turned off and there are options in the wiring that enable you to have one color during the day, and the other at night.

I'll get more pics of all the gauges tomorrow, and some whenever I actually install them.

 

I like how you angled the guage so the needle sticks at 9 oclock when at optimal limit

You must be a pilot

 

Haha, actually I just plopped the gauge on the cluster bezel for the pic.

 

ohh lol.. thats funny.

i was hoping some one would test these out. i too am looking something close to stock lighting. I was gonna try the stewart warner gauges with the red bulb cover....


EDIT: boo!! they don't have mechanical oil press gauge :smiley_12

 

IIRC the ones that were tested were the premium gauges, but they all look nice.

 

Thank you for doing this. I've been waiting for some feedback on these because I really want to order them. The price made me very cautious.

 

I have u their EGt gauge its an nice

 

Do we have a stock Oil temp sending unit in our cars?

Also will the oil pressure gauge and sender from http://www.prosportgauges.com/Perfor...uges-Amber.htm work?

Also will the electic water temp sensor work with our stock water temp sender?

Thanks.

 

The oil pressure gauge will work but the sender is not the correct thread pitch. Their sender is 1/8" NPT our thread pitch is 1/8"BSP.

 

so how do u fix that^^

 

It's been covered many times on this forum.

I did a search for "oil pressure sender thread pitch" in the 2nd gen tech forum.
