Score one for a vendor that comes to the forum to collaborate. I am impressed by this sir:)

i really like the look of the prosport gauges, but why aren't there any numbers on the A/F ratio gauge? since rotaries differ from piston engines, this gauge seems kinda useless for us?

^ Thats the same thought I had, and then I noticed the digitals... I kinda like the digital readouts... I may just jump on these, althought the innovative is about the same price on the A/F wideband.

Any idea's on what could be the issue with my set? Basically, sometimes it'll randomly start reading as if 'zero' is some other value, for example car off it'll read 4psi, 3psi of boost shows up as 7, and vacuum hardly registers, it's as if it loses track of where 0 is positioned on the gauge, takes a few key on/offs to finally get it back to normal. I was debating replacing the sensor, but I can't really think of how the sensor would cause it to read normal, just from a different position.

Please call me in regards to this.

I'm glad to hear you're working to fix the issues, I know I condsidered those couple of years ago mainly because of the affordable price.

Double_J 05-21-10 08:57 PM

I ordered the following.

Oil Filter Adaptor Plate
52mm Premium Oil Temperature Gauge
52mm Premium Fuel Pressure Gauge
Wideband Premium 52mm Air Fuel Ratio kit-Amber/White

I am really hoping the issues have been corrected!

Well Double I have been running mine now for a little while and have not had any issues what so ever, everything is reading as I would expect. I am curious as to the AFR Gauge let me know how it works out for you

I had a quick look and people seem to be happy with Prosports over in Evolutionm.net forums.

We now have a new lower price on all our widebands now with 0-5v output signal for data logging

I got my gauges installed. I want to compare my afr gauge with another though. The prosport gauge only goes as low as 10, and when I stab the skinny peddle it pegs out right away.

If that is accurate then I have more power I could potentially be making. I will respond once I confirm.

prosport Gauges 08-28-10 06:04 AM

Oh it's accurate, and super fast. We use the latest Bosch 4.9 O2 sensor. the widest and quickest on the market, while most other wideband's are still using the older, slower, narrower 4.2 sensor.

Double_J 08-28-10 07:10 AM

I tried to compare widebands as I mentioned above. I'd say that it is accurate but not as use full as it could be. So I'm running low 10's for for afr. Basically that pegs the needle when I hit boost. It's fine that the gauge can read up to 20 afr but that doesn't help me for my car. Ideally I would rather loose the top end - say anything beyond 18 and spread the remaining space out. This would be clearer and easier for me to see if I am running 10.5 vs 10.2

I know many its not a gauge that is custom for rotary's but it would be nice :)

Are you runing the premium (analog) gauge ?
