ProSport Gauges

[EclipseSH21]

I recently picked up a set of ProSport gauges, from MachV, and I must say, they look wonderful. I just finished up the lighting wiring tonight, tommorow I'll run the boost lines, EGT wiring and oil pressure wiring. The Amber color matches the stock interior lighting pretty much perfectly.

Lights off (yeah they're smudged, i'll clean em up later:

Sorry about the quality of the pics, it was a 15 sec job--- the red is actually a deeper red than the pics show, it is pretty much the same red as the STi gauges, and the amber is less yellow than it looks. The gauges will also light up a bright white, if desired.

looks good, I like the way you angled the gauges

 

[silvercoupe97]

I like those. I like the red lighting.
Let us know how accurate they are (i.e. boost gauge) and if the smoked lens is easy enough to see during the day (when on of course).
I have some AC autotechnics S7 Invisions and their pretty accurate, they're blacked out when the car is off too.

 

[EclipseSH21]

Boost gauge is more accurate than my autometer, at least at low boost (14psi)...we'll see how accurate it stays as boost pressure is increased.

 

[silvercoupe97]

Are they easy to see during the day?

 

[silvercoupe97]

Hey EclipseSH21, the site states the colors blue, amber/white with red colored needles for all of them (except the digital ones of course). You've clearly have red lights in the second pic, . Was red even an option and how do you switch the colors? I'm going with red LED lighting on the dash cluster and since I've got the cluster gauge bezel, it would be cool to match the color scheme up.

They look good. DarE I ask how much since they were from machv?

As for being angled, thats the thing to do!!! I have mine the same. Its mostly so 0 on the boost is leveled

They aren't pricey at all. $40 for all but the EGT gauge was the highest at $99. http://www.machv.com/prosportgauges.html

Yeah I was just gonna say I paid $32 for my boost gauge directly from prosportgagues.com. And I can see my boost gauge great during the day when they're on of course.

 

[dsmkid4g63t]

i installed them, colors pretty close to stock, gauges are very accurate, ill be posting some pics of them soon. i did boost and fuel pressure.

 

[chicagoavenger]

I love mine and I just ordred through Prosport a little cheaper

 

[silvercoupe97]

I've just ordered some through Prosport also. Man, their electronic boost gauge is hard to get a hold of! I just happen to get lucky, that and Glenn told me they had some in stock at the time, . I also got their EGT gauge. I seen these gauges in my buddies Subie and thought they looked good, not to mention that the gauge lighting was pretty bright during the day.

 

[dsmkid4g63t]

this mech. boost and elec. fuel pressure off.

 

[dsmkid4g63t]

haha ill be posting the pic, i gotta resize the picture so itll fit.

 

[dsmkid4g63t]

mech. boost and elec. fuel pressure on (daylight) sorry such a shitty picture, thats the best i can get it, if you guys want ill email the pictures out to you so you can see.

Im gettin red 'x's... anyone else having this problem?

 

[silvercoupe97]

It looks like you've got them wired up for the red lighting, is that correct? My buddy said that it's easier to see them if they are wired up for white during the day and it's default amber color with the lights on.

Semprini,
I don't even see pics anymore, .

Wow those gauges look pretty great for the price. Everyone with them is happy with the accuracy? If everything seems good, I'm going to get these, I want something good, but I don't want to spend a lot of money.

 

[devlish]

i have them in my GLHT too. only problem is if your not looking directly into them... they are hard to read due to the rounded glass on front. otherwise, they are fine. i'm taking them out of my GLH for some autometers, my friend is buying them for his 1G AWD though.

 

[silvercoupe97]

Well, I finally got mine in. They look great and they are a lot easier to read than my old ones (AC Autotechnics S7 Invisions). I bought an EGT and electronic boost gauge. The electronic boost gauge was pretty simple to wire up too (for those who may wonder). I'll have pics tomorrow.
Oh yeah, the amber color is a dark(?) amber, it's almost red, so it matches my red LED instrument cluster lighting too.
Now if I can only figure out a way to change the blue backlighting of the Greddy FATT to red, I'd be set.

Happy Holidays everyone

Here's some pics during the day. The face is only slightly visible under bright sunlight (*with the car still off*), which would be while my windows open.

1)Here's one with everything off. You can sort of see the face on the left gauge, but not the one on the right.
2)The second pic is of the old ones (AC Autotechnic S7 Invision)

1)This is the white light with just the ignition on ACC, it's the same with the car on too.
2)The second one is the old again and notice how much dimmer they are compared to the Prosports?

This is what the lighting looks like with the parking lights on. It's still fairly bright out btw. My old ones stayed one color so there's really no comparison here.

This was all during the day at around 4pm, so there was still a lot of sunlight and IMO, they are plenty bright during the day, which was one of my concerns because of how hard my old ones were to see at the same time.
I'll get some night pics in a little bit too.
*edit, sorry, but the night shots turned out too dark. There's no background lighting to judge for brightness. Anyway, the gauges are brighter than my dash lights and they are pretty bright too.

Is there a way to wire these up to a switch so during the day it can be white, and at night you flip the switch down and it'll be amber? Or do they wire up from stock ilke that?

 

[silvercoupe97]

What you described is how they wire up from the store. You can also wire them up to where it's always white or always amber.
The daytime pics don't do the gauge lighting justice, because I can tell you that mine are easily viewed even from the backseats.
The night pic is a good one though. I have red LEDs in my cluster and they both look just like that pic (other than the fact that the pics are from my buddy's WRX, ).

 

[chicagoavenger]

Is anyone using the Prosport boost gauge with higher boost? Is it still accurate?

24psi for me rock solid on my prosport
