ProSport Gauges

[dnhieu]

dont get that piece that adapts to the radiator hose. i just tied right into the factory coolant temp sensor and it works fine for me. have fun wiring these things up! its like wiring 2 sets of gauges in one lol....

[JBDdsmer610]

YEa i kinda figured that witch one is the actual temp sensor and what did you do with the iol sending unit? Dose it thread in or do i need the addaptor

[Eclipse98Spyder]

I dont think you NEED the adapter its just an option you can buy there. I called them and thats what they said. I should be getting my oil pressure in tomorrow or tuesday

How is the response time of the ProSport probe that comes with the EGT gauge? Also, how does the change in temperature compare to other probes. Could you give an estimate of degrees / seconds? Thanks.

EGT probe response time is almost instantanious for me but then again this is my first EGT probe and as soon as I step on the gas or let off you can see a response from the needle. Am I the only one that is having a hard time seeing the blue ones in the day light?

Just a heads up. I just saw that Prosport has some new gauges now. They have a warning and max setting on their new gauges.

Hey I just ordered an electric boost, oil temp, and egt gauge set from prosport. I'm trying to figure out how to easily wire them. Any recomendations on easy ways to find anf identify the right wires to wire to? I'm needing help finding the wire in my '96 GS-T spyder for:

ACC position of ignition
the parking light switch
a constant 12v source

Better yet, is it possible to wire to these souces through a fused wire?

Thanks in advance guys.

under your dash in your ingnition wires you'll find a good ACCESORY wire to tap into. Your dimmer switch can be pulled from behind the radio, or by the button for the lights. always a good idea to fuse the power wire (in this case, between your ACC tap, and your guages)

another way to get a good ACC source, is to run an 8ga wire from the battery inside the car, and use a relay. use any small ACC wire to turn on the relay, then you can put quite a few ACC outlets off that relay, as long as you dont exceed the rating of the relay, usually 30a, if its a bosch relay. that gives you a good strong ACC source for multiple items. don't forget to fuse that 8ga with a 30amp fuse between the relay and the batt though.

good luck.

[hsk8te2006]

I appreciate that, but what I actually need is help identifying the wires you're suggesting that I tap into.

Thanks

[devlish]

there is a few larger 10ga wires in the ignition wire area, grab a test light and find out which one of them is correct. i don't have my car torn apart anymore to look easily for you. but 30seconds with a test light, and you'll have your answer.

For anyone looking for ones that look almost exactly like stock

Thanks, but I still prefer the prospor tpremium gauges because they have a peak/warn function.

[Morpherex]

I believe those do too.

[hsk8te2006]

Their website doesn't indicate they have it, and I don't see a light or button in the gauge pics themselves.

I can't open that link for some reason.

Just in case nobody noticed, Prosport now has CLEAR lense with amber or white backlit. The pictures on their site look so much more like stock.

I wonder if they would just sell you those clear lenses?

Doubtful since you'd have to take the gauge apart and that would probably void their warranty. Sell current no ebay and buy new .
